Hi,

As I have already implemented new runes, I also want to add new pictures to them
Where can I find those? Also in one of the MPQ Files ??

You mean completely new graphics? There's a pack on inventharia you can look at.
If you're talking about where to set the graphic... Misc.txt

I have the 33 normal runes in my mod from LoD, named El - Zod.
THen I have 33 "legendary" Runes, internally i name them xEl - xZod, but I put patchstring.tbl entries so that they look like normal El - Zod.
I would like to put pictures of the old runes for them, but make them a bit darker.... thats all.
i think i have to find the path to the pictures of El-Zod and then I can adjust them and save some copies for xEl - xZod

Dc6 can be converted to a variety of image files - why don't you check out our downloads in image editing.
pcx files can be editing using most of any modern image editing program. google.

The dc6 palette has 0,0,0 mapped to transparency. You can use a custom palette in which case color 0 will be used as transparency but you should stick to 0,0,0 generally.
