How do you create new buttons?

How do you set it up so that a new "random game" button is created on the ATG dash board screen and when it is clicked it will launch a particular random game generation scenario?

Also, what do you need to do to have a load option when you launch the game for your mod to be installed?

Thanks.

Never mind. I think I figured it out. I was looking within the game file under "Settings" and not in the "mods" folder.

Do you mean new buttons (as in they do new stuff) or modifying graphics for existing buttons?

If the latter is the case, I would advice you to use the optional graphics mod setting in Setng, and work with them from that directory, rather than modifying the existing buttons, of the original. If you modify the original buttons, without having a new directory where they are located, you will either only be modifying them for yourself (in all games you play), or forcing people to get their buttons overwritten with yours.

Of course there may be a different set of buttons you are talking about than those in the GUI, but I know little about those, never having made a random game mod.

I was going to give users an option like this when they start their game:
