When LucasFan (the creator of MM Deluxe) did the first starter pack, he simply took the MMD source and erased all the unnecessary stuff. Since it's not possible to completely remove GUIs or Chars, he renamed them to "dummy".

I'm repeating myself here, but you still don't seem to get it: the people here don't know the inner works of the MMM starter pack stuff (although this particular question probably could've been answered by anybody who took a short look at the pack). And asking this in here is pretty pointless. Why didn't you post this in the MMM forums?

Please at least try answering things like this yourself. How are you ever going to develop a superior MMD-game if you can't figure out such basic stuff??

Sorry for the rant, everybody.

It should not, as it seems they are placeholders... but I could definitly see this being already answered on the MMMania forums.

And now, after looking, there may not be an english forums for MMMania.

Yes. No.

The forum's german, but most of the users speak english.
