[EO 2.0]More/Less In-Game Buttons

[XPiXel]

**This guide 100% supports Version 2.0,but some parts may not work on outdated versions.**
________________________________________________________________________________
I would like to give credit to **Grimmnak**, who taught me how to do this, but I decided to share this to the community, because there seems to be no tutorial about this.By the end of the tutorial,you will have more/less animated buttons in-game. Everything is client-side,and of course,you need **Visual Basic 6(Enterprise/Professional)**.

1.Open up your **"client.vbp"**.
2.Open up **ModConstants** and search for:

```
' animated buttons
Public Const MAX_MENUBUTTONS As Long = 4
Public Const MAX_MAINBUTTONS As Long = 6
Public Const MENUBUTTON_PATH As String = "\Data Files\graphics\gui\menu\buttons\"
Public Const MAINBUTTON_PATH As String = "\Data Files\graphics\gui\main\buttons\"

```3.Change this to the number of animated buttons you want:

```
Public Const MAX_MAINBUTTONS As Long = 6

```4.Open up **ModGeneral** and search for:
```
    ' main - party
    With MainButton(6)
        .fileName = "party"
        .state = 0 ' normal
    End With
```5.**(You can obviously change "changeme" and you can change "MainButton(7)" to another number)**
Add this below it:

```
    ' main - changeme
    With MainButton(7)
        .fileName = "changeme"
        .state = 0 ' normal
    End With

```6.Open up **frmMain** and make a picturebox with these properties:

>! **(These properties are requirements for the 7th button.)**
Name:imgButton
Index:7
(These properties are recommendations for the 7th button.)
Height:29
Width:69
Top:168
Left:603
7.Make a new picture in:
```
data files\graphics\gui\main\buttons
```  And name it:
(Once again,changeme could obviously be changed. It follows the one here:
```
        .fileName = "changeme"

```"changeme_norm" - This will be the normal status of the button.
"changeme_hover" - This will be the hovered status of the button.
"changeme_click" - This will be the clicked status of the button.
8.Test it, it should work now! If it doesn't appear,hover a little over the skills button!
  (If you followed the recommendations for the picturebox, it will appear.)
  (The unappearing button when logged in can be fixed easily by adding a picture of the button on your main.jpg.)

Once again,I will say,I give alot of credit to **Grimmnak**.

It allows you to change the amount of buttons (with hover effects etc.) that are allowed on the main game screen or main menu.

Alright so say I made a button check box button at the Menu for a Full Screen option. How do I get the button when clicked on to load the game into a Full Screen for whoever clicks on it? I also want this to buffer in size according to the monitor size of the person playing the game…where do I need to add code...im just unsure of where to add
