                     How to make headers:

CaUtiOn LeGaL ShiT! Hey anything you do to screw up your board aint
my fault cause there's a disclaimer in here! (Haha) so dont give me
that "He did it cause he told me to" shit or anything...i could be
wrong on the codes etc, cause i have sloppy handwriting, and when
i wrote them all down, i could have made a mistake..IF IT LOOKS LIKE
IT AINT IN THE RIGHT PLACE LIKE THE OTHERS, THEN DONT DO IT!!!

WARNING! THIS IS FOR RENEGADE VERSION 10-31 ONLY!! SEE THE OTHER DOC FOR
THE RENEGADE 10-05 SHIT...DONT EVEN TRY TO USE THIS ONE FOR THE 10-05 VER!

If you're like me, you really hate the default headers. Let's change
them right now... get out your handy hex-editor and follow along...
If you're a lamer (since a lamer would'nt know what a lamer is, A lamer
is a person who knows jack about computers), im gonna give you a
little slack, (i usually hate lamers and wont give them advice) and
if you still cant see what im getting at, then ask some guy who knows
about hex-editing and de-hacking.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

lamers:
-------
HeX-Editing is where you take a file that has been encripted (basicly means
garbled up to keep people from messing with it) and change it around to
your likings...You can't use a regular editor because some text is not shown
and you can't change some information...Hex is short for hexadecimal...
..a hexidecimal uses 2 digits of most letters and numbers to form 255
different possibilities...each possibility is a seperate ascii (text)
charactor..they would go like this:
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F 10 11 12 13, etc
Notice how they go from 9 to A. that makes more possibilities.
3A would be a, and 48 is A, etc.. When you hex-edit, there are 3 sections
that do different things:

0001FBC0  4F 4F 9A 0832 4D 32 11  00 00 01 4F59 AB 53 A1 ۧF )͊RL
  ^--+           ^-------^---------------^------+---^             ^--+      
     |                                          |                    |
This is the offset,       This is the Hexidecimal part...     This is what
or marker..Where it       Wher ever you  couldnt  write a     it would look
would be found at..       charactor, you would do it here     like regularly

So when i say to goto offset 0001FBC0 you would goto the first set of
numbers.. when i say to change 00 3D 4C 31 to 4F AA BC 00 that would
be done in the second coloumn..the third is if i just tell you to type
something real quick instead of just looking up the hex codes for shit
you can type..
(By the way, those hexadecimals above, i made up..So dont think that 4F
is a , cause it is really a .

                          <<<=>>> HeAdErS <<<=>>>

okok now for you regular people:
All the changes are in the file RENEGADE.OVR.

After you change the ones you want, then goto the color config and
change all the header colors to black. (NOT THE OTHER INFORMATION THOUGH!)
That way, the default header won't show through the new one.
P.S.  If you cant find the offset, Then put a zero in front of it..some
hex-editors are made to hold bigger files, so they need more numbers..

Well thats it for now, except that if you want to make your own headers
instead of the ones included, Remember the following:
1) Save them in Home mode so they won't clear the screen or turn out at
   the bottom of the screen or anything...
2) Make them only 3 lines long, or else they will write over the files,
   or over the messages, etc..
3) if they have information on them like the File base, etc that use MCI
   codes then save them animated, or they will make them turn out all funky
   looking..do this in TheDraw by opening the file, Hitting the ansimation
   switch, (In the toggles menu), scanning from the top, and once scanned,
   Type in the mci coded on top of the header, and then saving right away.

Now if you just don't wanna take the time to do all that shit, then get
a different BBS system such as iniquity, which looks just like RG, only is
more configurable. You can change the headers to anything you want. PLUS
it has like over 200 strings compared to RG's 25 or something..
