Creating a standalone release allows people to play your game without having to download ToME, download your module, put it in the right place, etc. It also allows you to customize the boot module (which handles the startup screen and main menu) so that you can come up with something thematically appropriate for your module.
How to create a standalone release and how to create your own boot module:
- Download http://te4.org/dl/dev/boot-example.zip as a base for the main menu.
- Remove the boot module from
game/engines/default/modules/boot* - Put your new boot module in place.
- Edit or replace
boot/data/gfx/background/files with your own splash screen. - Edit
