epic nooblet here, and i have a question that has been bugging me.
i knwo how to permanently insert section files by editing .ini files, and I am wondering if it is possible to do the same with doodads.
I attempted it once, but no dice. just wondering if there is a way around it
Yeah, just drag a .gif file from the folder you're keeping it in (remember to keep said folder in the Custom Sprites section) to Shipmaker while you're building something. A box will appear asking if you want to add it as a section, a Doodad, or cancel. Obviously you click Doodad.
Surprise surprise, there is actually a section prefixed [Doodads] in smsprites.ini - assuming you were referring to doing it manually. Next time do a little more research, hmm?
