Are you looking to add an object to your scenery tab or to make a tab for scenery? :broccoli:

Here's some step by step instructions for ya to make a scenery tab with a picture.
Open the Dat Maker and click "FILE". The click "NEW". A new window will come up. Choose "Scenery Group" and then "Make It!" That will then open up a new window with the file name "TRGDAT1" STEP 1: Click on string block name. This is where you give your scenery group it's name. Make sure you put the same name in each box for eac different langauge. STEP 2: Click on "Package Dats". Find the .dat files you want in the group and drag them over to the words "Package Dats". STEP 3: The "Images" category is the picture you want to use for your group. The picture must be a 256 color bitmap and picture can only have the dimensions of 29 pixels tall and 26 pixels wide. You will need 2 pictures in that category; no more, no less. After you get them sized right and in the right format, Drag the pictures under the word "Images". STEP 4: To save, click on the disk icon. Another window will open and it waill say "Save as" at the top. Down by the bottom of this window you will see a file name which you must print in a .dat name like you do for your objects but this must start with SCG. Then you can put in 5 letters after that to identify you group dat. Underneath that you will see "Save As Type" and in that box it will say "Template Files (*.dax)" and ".DAT Files (*.dat)" You want to save as ".DAT Files (*.dat) Hope that helps! |

Arragh! It still won't work. It doesn't let me drag-and-drop it anywhere. Thanks.
