Geesh!!!

mlmbd, I know how the intro.bmp works. And yes, while you can change the look of the buttons, they are not part of the intro.bmp. And no, you can not change the way things scroll at all without changing the executable. The scrolling credits have nothing to do with the intro.bmp. And you cannot add new animated elements to the intro.bmp. You would know that if you knew how the intro.bmp works. You keep saying you aren't going to change the executable, yet you keep saying you are going to change things that I know would require a change to the executable. Like I said, I presonally don't care whether you change the executable or not. It makes no difference to me. But if will severly limit the usefullness of the mod.

Be that as it may, I did qualify my original statement to say "If you are talking about the scrolling credits that come up when you hit the credits button..." If you weren't talking about that, then the rest of my statement doesn't apply. Perhaps you should read what people say before you get all defensive.
