Resource Editing
Computer programs often store information about their user interface in a special section called the resource file. Below are the various dialog resource numbers to help find your way around the official DMA Map editor resource file.
Many modified versions of the DMA editor are available from the GTAMP forum topic. XN Resource Editor is what I use to make my own map editor adjustments.
