Ok... that link did NOTHING for me. I put my titlescreen.pcx in global\data\ui\frontend\titlescreen.pcx

I did all the necessary work to make the pcx compatible with d2x. Its 800x600, 256 colors.

It's dc6con that aint working. When I type dc6con global\data\ui\frontend\titlescreen.pcx , i expect dc6con to convert my .pcx into a titlescreen.dc6 file, but NOPE. nothing appears in the folder. I am getting quite frustrated. And why the heck wont dc6con stay open when ya click on it? i don't care if it's a dos program, I should be able to see if it's succesful or something. I had managed to keep dos open using mpq2k, and typing all the commands in the dos window. I'm stuck here. Any clarifications?

Ok, screw the DC6 crap. I read other posts about title screens, and I found out Dc6maker and stuff. So i get it, open trademark.dc6 in dc6maker, delete all the frames, add my own picture. It looks good, I apply the palette, looks good, so I go to save it, and the program does nothing. It just sits there, and my cursor changes to busy OVER the program. So i press ctrl+alt+del and i see that the program is 'not responding'. Argh. So much trouble for one little f'n screen. Is there a reason why it's not responding? thx for your time!

You are not using Dc6con the proper way at all. Read the readme that comes with it. Anyways, I find dc6maker is better for this. And for the problem, perhaps the program is not responding because it's loading and saving the file. It shouldn't be crashing(never crashes on me). Anyways, get the new dc6maker v3.0 in the Mod Making Tools forum(read the thread by Clannad, he released a more bug free version very recently).
