hello all. i am quite new to gamestudio and am planning to make an rpg. im currently doing a software engineering course in university and am willing to spend alot of time on this personal project.

my rpg is based on an era of star wars that has not been looked at, at the moment i have decided that it wont be commercial.

my questions are as follows:

1) i notice that in some examples that i find on the net, that all the files are visible and able to be changed eg maps and models. what im asking is if there is a way to make a database file that contains all the maps, models etc and have the game access that, making it unavailable to the player to edit.

2) ive tried searching and looking at tutorials and havnt found anything to answer this question. how do i create a game main menu. the menu you see every time you load a game that says play new game, load game etc.

thx


EDIT: i wasn't sure where to put this so i put it in this section
