I want to know how to get a new style that these people made. How would you open and extract the file? Seems very difficult.

1. Download the *.dmf (DROD Media File).
2. Start TCB.
3. Select Build Levels.
4. Push the Manage button at the right under the Room Style list.
5. Push Import.
6. Find and import the file you downloaded.

Now you can use that style in holds you build, and you'll see it work if anybody else uses that style in a hold and you import it.

Great. I can't find the file. It's not in A, C, D, or E, you can't put periods in the file name, and Desktop isn't a directory.

The DROD file browser starts from within a folder named "Homemade". This folder can be found at <wherever DROD is installed>/Data/Homemade/. If you put the file there you should be able to find it quite easily from within DROD.

The exception, that you cannot put this file into homemade file, because simply, I can't access it from the Windows My Computer. It's just not there. I don't think you can move folders like that in the game.

And now, I'm wondering whether or not to give up. This is chaos.

Wait, I think I'm finding out how. But I'm going to put it somewhere else rather than Homemade.

Well, whenever I've downloaded a graphical mod, I've always put it in Bitmaps...

Well, I usually put it on my desktop.
And Mr. Slice, it seems you can't find your desktop, even though it's right there.

Since you don't know where your desktop is, I also assume you haven't changed the default Windows locations, so your desktop should be here:

C:\Documents and Settings\*yourname*\Desktop

If you use Windows Vista, then you must change:

And if you're using InsaneOS, it's ">iOS/usr/*name*/", although it doesn't really have a desktop anyways, as it's currently console-based.
I'll keep quiet now. >_>

question, when you have imported new styles, can you delete them if you want to?

Yes. In the 'manage styles' window, select a style and click Delete.

If you're using Deadly Operating System Of Death (Hasn't been programed or even fully fleshed-out yet but it might be a neat idea), then it's (Username Here): Entrance. In lowlevel mode that's (Drive);(Partition):/Home/(Username)/Entrance.

Or in ONOS (Hasn't been built yet either), just DO VISIT SCENIC (Partition Name), (Drive Name), THE HOME OF (Username), AND SEE HIS DESK.

Example: DO VISIT SCENIC SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, THE HOME OF SILLYMAN, AND SEE HIS DESK.

On my computer that tends to be ~/Desktop/.

Or, you could just use [url www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/petrovich.html]Petrovich and then you probably don't care because you can't control it!
