Yeah, I want to know how to make my own room style, but... It's not made too clear?

As far as I know, it's not something that is exclusive to a CaravelNet subscription. But I can't find how or where to make one. What's up with that? Any help?

After double-checking, yeah, there doesn't seem to be any sticky thread on any forum about this, and the in-game help does talk about how to install existing mods but not how to create a new style set.

So, generally what you want to do is start from a template file (like this one) that already has all of the correct filenames, dimensions, etc. and replace the graphics with your own custom graphics. Then, once you're done, re-name the style, put the style graphics in DROD's bitmaps folder, add the relevant line to the drod.ini configuration file (Styles=MyCoolAwesomeStyle), and your style should show up in-game when you re-launch the program.

You can then export the style into a .dmf file.

Let me know if you'd like clarification on any of those steps, or if that's enough for now.

Does the base for TCB also work with GatEB, or no?

IIRC, it should work for all Post-2.0 game engines (so TCB, GatEB and TSS).
