Hmm... Out of wonder, what does that button on the far right of the World Developers Box in the game do?

When you open it it says "Close this immediatly if you don't know what your doing."

Being fearful for my life and that of my family, I responded in kind. What does it do?

I second that question, for the same reasons. Although if it would purge bothersom family members I might consider it.

I myself was curious of about this strange window. I feared it was "Pandora's" window. Every day I would look at it but immediately close it for fear of evil. One day, I did not immediately close it. I clicked some buttons, moved it around. I fear to this day, what may happen to me or my family. I cannot sleep until I find out.

I third the question...

Bah, you fools!

It makes an empty skin form, given the dimensions of the boxes, etc etc.

The BEWARE is so that you dont overwrite any files you already have. (You have to manually type in the saveto address, and it wont warn you that you're overwriting an already existant file... actually, it walways warns you, but it doesnt do anything special if you actually WOULD overwrite a file)

So, you can make your own skin files, effects files, attack files, item pic files, etc.

No, it most likely wont come to life and cause bodily harm to your immecdiate family, and it wont even crash your computer.. you hope.

But, if you have no idea what you ARE doing, then you really SHOULDNT bothr with that

the forms button exists so as to simplify MY life since so many people make skins with the guidelines off by a pixel or two: "It looks better a pixel lower!"

It's only really *dangerous* if you type in a file name like: "c:\windows\something really Important like the registry"

And on the off chance that anyone is that clueless, I added the scary warning.
