How do I separate a component from a drop down menu?

[Jaydee99]

The one I'd like is the Beta motor from the Ironforge pack into a separate component.
How do I do this, considering compiling it and giving it its own slot?
Please help, Jaydee99 (up yours Helloface and HurricaneAndrew)

Again, Clickbeetle's tutorial has everything you need. Ironically you actually posted it when you asked your earlier question, but just so it's here I was referring to this:
http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/modding.htm
Basically if you want to make a new component you'll want to make a new folder for it, a new text file for it, and you'll need to rename the map part of the .gmf so that the game doesn't get confused. This is all covered by Click's tutorial, just follow the bit about creating a new lightning blade thing, but obviously substitute the ram plate for the beta burst and don't do any of the editing the shape of the component.
If you have any trouble with it feel free to pm me about it to save creating a new thread.

This is what I've done (reminds me of that Linkin Park song) so far.
How would I make it into a component? Don't quite understand the BettleBros webpage.

This is quite different to the previous question asked. I want to take this out of a drop down menu.

Okay, can you give me a step by step of what you've done?
From what I can tell you've made a new folder, renamed the map files, and that's it. Is that right?

Basically. I'm off my computer for the rest of the night. Could you tell more via a PM conversation if you don't mind?

Sure, I'll work on it and see if I can get it working myself for you.

Why would you want to do that?  It's not much more convenient than using the dropdown menu.

I want to separate it so it is different to the normal ironforge one. I want to give it a different burst value and a different name and description.
It makes sense to me. Maybe no one else, but it does to me.

Ok coll that makes sense, sometimes I can't figure out what you actually want to do.  You just have to find the burst in the styles menu an make a new copy of it in the main components folder.  Since youre not changing the skin you don't need to make a new gmf file.

Haha, sometimes I can't figure out what I want.

Lemonism has done it for me then gave a step by step guide on how he did it (If someone could do that for BFE I'd be grateful )
I did want to change the skin because the orange one looks awful and screws the beta motors up. I'll showcase some of my replicas now on the replica thread so brace yourself guys!

BFE is a lot tougher to do as a guide - I know Sonny is working on one but I wouldn't be surprised if it took a while due to the complexity. Try following tips posted in the other thread.
