U don't ADD maps. You ADD TO maps with Icolence. It lets you import material from other maps. With a few minor errors that I assume will be fixed in later releases. Serentiy is just a map patcher.

Icolence tutsRight Here.

If you're making a patch, click the "Use Mainmenu" check box, and put in your info/pic. If you're applying a patch that has MM data and want it to be in your MM, check the same checkbox then apply the patch. It will look for the MM in the map folder you picked in the Setup tab.

Yeah, how do I add a picture and information to the mainmenu without patching a map with a .serenity file?

Also, what kind of format does the picture need to be in? It only says .dds, but in DotHalo, the picture type is A8r something... How would I convert a DXT to this format? Or would any .dds work?
