What part don't you understand? The extraction? The editing? The reinserting? ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

First you will need to make a new image or convert a existing one, for this to work make sure the image is 800x600 pixels and not even on pixel bigger!!! If you do make a image with other pixel amount the results can often be VERY nice(laugh), next you must make sure that the image has only 256 colors and is in pcx format(zsoft paintbrush), next you will have to apply a palette to the file that matches the Diablo II palette, if you don't know where to get something like that simply go here. After you applied the palette you will need to save the image as titlescreen.pcx and convert the image from pcx to the dc6 format used by Diablo II, do this with dc6con(also get that one from the phrozenkeep), now simply use dc6con like mpq2k(throughout run option in start menu) note: since this and also mpq2k are dos programs you will need to have all files in the same folder, type in "dc6con titlescreen.pcx" (DO NOT APPLY A TRANSCOL!!!), now after you have the dc6 image use psidc6(also from the phrozenkeep) to test the image, if it works then read the green text, if it does not work read the red text: that part, that's what I don't understand. I'm new at this mod stuff, so I don't really understand it.------------------ Jonathan S. Bowler
