I have another question. I'm trying to use the most recently released Beta. I added my Data folder to it but when I start the engine all that shows up is the background to the main menu. Do I have to add something or press a certain button?
The new beta has a different structure to Interface.xml IIRC.
Duno if the new demo folder is still up for download, have a look in the beta thread.

What would I have to change in the script to make the main menu work? And I'm guessing it's in the interface script.
Edit: I have found something weird. The </Menu>
<Menu name="InterfaceMenu">
and the other menu once you finish the code are in orange. Does that mean that that's what I have to change?
No.
I'm guessing that you're using Taco to edit your scripts and xml?
Taco just thinks that you are refering to the <menu> tag in HTML and colors it correctly.
It doesnt know anything about Dim3 and will not tell you how to make your game, lol. :D
Just get the newest data folder and add your content. That's a lot easier. :/
I use Text Wrangler and it's tons easier then using Text Edit like I used too...
The problem is that the current beta builds of 2.5 do not include a appropriate data folder, afair the 2.5b4 had one. That version does not reside on Brian's website any longer, does it? That means if 2.5b>4 is your first download, you are screwed.

Thats because the beta's are for U83r 31337 h4X0rs who know what they are doing, and have the new releases 10 seconds after brian posts the link. XD
So could someone give me a link or someway of getting a data folder so I can use?

I'll include the data with the next beta, in a couple days.
