You can find some information about a control by pressing the right mouse button over it.
To apply Russian language, copy Rus\Language.txt to the program folder. If you have Russian version of the game, copy Language1.txt too.

TUTORIAL 1: Tworzenie Defów
1) Save the def list under the name of your future .def file
2) Choose the type of .def
3) Switch to the Frames tab and open the directory with the frames
4) Add the frames into appropriate groups in Tree View by pressing Enter
5) Select with Special Colors are present in the frames
6) If you are making an Interface def, see Tutorial 3
7) Switch to the Shadow tab and see Tutorial 2
8) Switch to the General tab
9) If you are making an Adventure Object or a Hero, turn "Make Msk and Msg Files" to generate .msk and .msg files
10) Turn "Add to Lod" on if you want to import the files into a .lod
11) Save the def list and click on "Make Def" button

TUTORIAL 2: Making Shadow
a) If your pictures have the shadow inside them or don't need shadow at all, you don't need to do anything
b) If you want to generate shadows for your frames,
1) Press the "Generate" button
2) Click on the picture where you want the base line of shadow to be
3) Adjust the base line of shadow with the "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons
b) If your def is based on a standard one from the game and has the shape, the following way will be efficient:
1*) Delete the shadow before starting to work on frames. To do this, turn "Delete Contained Shadow" on, turn "Generate Selection" off and press the "Apply and Save" button.
2) After making frames push the "External" button and open the folder with frames of original .def file
3) Select all the frames of it and press the "Add All By Name" button
4) Select the Special Colors that present in the frames of original def file

TUTORIAL 3: Making Interface Def
1) Player's Colors are those blue colors that are replaced with the color of current player in the game. Note that interface Defs usually require you to turn player's colors on, even if your frames don't contain it. If original frames contain player's colors, turn the Player's Colors check box on.
2) If you drew something with approximately player's colors (i.e. you used anti-aliasing), click on the Player's Colors icon and set the tolerance you need. The bigger tolerance is, the more pixels would be treated player's. The tolerance varies from 0 to 442, unlike the most graphics editors. As an example of this, if you have two red colors with the red components of 140 and 150, you should set Tolerance to 10 (150-140=10) or more if you want these colors to be treated the same.

TUTORIAL 4: Changing Special Colors
This is needed very rarely. If your frames contain a colors too close to Aqua color (i.e. Diamond Dragon does), it makes sense to change the Transparent color to something different. To do so, use another color as transparent in the frames and click on the icon of Transparent color to change it. You can do the same thing with other colors and even load Player's colors from a bitmap.

TUTORIAL 5: "Reposition" Tab Sheet
1) Switch between All and Current to reposition all pictures or the current picture
2) Here's how you can move pictures:
a) Move the picture with mouse
b) Move the picture with mouse pressing Ctrl
c) Use 4 small buttons to move the picture precisely

TUTORIAL 6: Preparing Interface Pictures
1) Do the 1 - 7 from Tutorial 1. Choose the type Interface and add all the pictures you want to process into the group
2) Switch to the Frames tab and turn the Transparent color check box on
3) Switch to the General tab
4) Turn the "Bitmaps" check box on and specify the path for generated bitmaps
5) Select "Add to Lod" under "Bitmaps" if you want to import the pictures into a .lod
6) Save the def list and click "Prepare Pictures By One" to convert the pictures into 256 colors
