Is it possible to change the 44 games that are displayed on the Select screen when ZoG starts up? Is it possible to resize games boards? I've tried checking the menus, but can't located anything to allow me to do these. Thanks, TKR101010 Greg Schmidt (Gschmidt2) New member Username: Gschmidt2 Post Number: 127 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Saturday, January 15, 2011 - 9:40 am:    The file: C:\Program Files\Zillions Development\Zillions Demo\Rules\Select.zrf Contains the selection screen code which you could change. However, I would strongly suggest first making a backup copy of the file if you decide to do it. You're probably aware of the "Enlarge board" feature under the view menu. This works for some (smaller) boards only. That's the only sizing functionality that Zillions provides. It's possible to alter specific games with minimal changes to the zrf code. I'm pretty sure that's been discussed elsewhere in this forum. -- Greg Ken Franklin (Kenz) New member Username: Kenz Post Number: 50 Registered: 3-2001 Posted on Sunday, January 23, 2011 - 10:29 pm:    Also, see my submission called Select-by-Grp of August 2003. (I still keep an original and renamed Select.zrf around.)

"open" Specifies a variant to load when a piece is clicked. (open <file-name>) Remarks The <file-name> argument specifies either: a ZRF file to open when the piece is clicked. If you append a greater-than sign (">") plus the name of a variant, that variant will be loaded. Otherwise the default variant -- the one defined by a "game" tag -- will be loaded. Using open in this way allows you to create game selection screens, making it easier to find an appropriate game. Zillions considers any game containing the definition of a piece that opens a ZRF a selection screen, unless the game specifically overrides this with the "selection screen" option.
