I belive only the Cncs232.dll file is needed Unless youve used some extensions or something, then I dont know cos Ive never used extensions in mmf.

all you need is the stand alone .exe and the Cncs232.dll, unless you used external files, but see as your a n0bb thats highly unlikely

Some beginners use external files without realising (I cant tell you the number of times I've been sent a game and the designer has used the Picture object and opened external files as backgrounds without including the picture in the distribution! Either that or they've used absolute paths so unless I unzipped the game to E:\FredsFunStuff\MyCoolGame\Builded\ExtraStuffs\ it doesnt work

AFAIK the only extension that requires an extra DLL to be included is DMC[2]. I'm sure others may require DLLs, such as that Zip object, I forget what it's called, but the DLL it would use is included with Windows so not nescessary.

I think we should put a stop here to people using the Picture object in games! It only has practical uses in applications (as far as beginners are concerned) so it should come with a warning

Jim: you could create an installer (with MMF create a new project and import your application into it. Then when you click File → Build → Project it installs the DLL for you automatically, and you can include any other external files you want, such as a readme or whatever).

Ya and if at all possible don't use DMC2 cause I was using it and liked it but it has tons of bugs etc. Use ModFusion!!! ITS FREAKIN AWESOME

What exactly is the picture object?
