The first 2 are in the string.tbl and expansionstring.tbl files. You'll need Darkstorm's Table Editor from the Tools of the Trade area of the keep (http://www.planetdiablo.com/phrozenkeep/tools.htm) to edit that.

The opening screen is found at the following paths

data\global\ui\FrontEnd\TrademarkscreenEXP.dc6
data\global\ui\FrontEnd\GameselectscreenEXP.dc6

Those 2 files will be in your D2EXP.mpq file. The trademark screen will be the initial screen that pops up and the game select is the one with the menu for selecting Single Player, Multiplayer, etc.....

You were close. I'll go ahead and let it pass Actually, there's an H in between the Z and O "Z(h)oulomcrist" .
Anyway, you're welcome.

well you can use either dc6con or dc6maker. I'm using the latter, more familiar with it I guess.

dc6con works with pcx, dc6maker with bmp. So create your backgrd pic first in which ever format you like, convert to the accepted format then use the prog to convert to dc6. Don't forget it must be in 256 color.

Also, DC6CON is a DOS-Based utility. So, there's some command lines involved in making it work. The following are examples.....

D:\Diablo II>dc6con swordofwhoopass.dc6 will make a PCX file called "swordofwhoopass.pcx

D:\Diablo II>dc6con swordofwhoopass.pcx will make a PCX file called "swordofwhoopass.dc6

In some cases, the -transcol 0 function is needed to eliminate problems such as your item s having black backgrounds instead of transparent.

D:\Diablo II>dc6con swordofwhoopass.pcx -transcol 0

Look in string.tbl. The path for it is "data/local/LNG/ENG/string.tbl" You'll need Darkstorm's Table Editor to edit the file available at www.planetdiablo.com/phrozenkeep/tools.htm
