UDTool 101:

1. Use FireFox.

2. Download the UDTool addon, here: http://www.adzone.org/UDTool/

3. Install it (I've forgotten how to do this part - I think you just open the .xpi file with your browser?)

4. Reload FireFox

5. Open Notepad

6. Create your list in the following format:

<Auto-updating lists (ZL, etc.)>
Color,Group
Color,Group
Color,Group
Color,Group

name,Group,comment (optional)
name,Group,comment (optional)
name,Group,comment (optional)
name,Group,comment (optional)

So that it may look something like this:

#00ff64,Zergs
:url(http://zombies.dementiastudios.org/boards/index.php?topic=12.0),start(;Start List One),end(;End List One),group(Zergs),color(#00ff64)
:url(http://zombies.dementiastudios.org/boards/index.php?topic=12.0),start(;Start List Two),end(;End List Two),group(Zergs),color(#00ff64)
:url(http://zombies.dementiastudios.org/boards/index.php?topic=12.0),start(;Start List Three),end(;End List Three),group(Zergs),color(#00ff64)
:url(http://zombies.dementiastudios.org/boards/index.php?topic=12.0),start(;Start List Four),end(;End List Four),group(Zergs),color(#00ff64)
#FFFFFF,SurvivorsINC
#004400,PKersAhNah

Athos,SurvivorsINC
Porthos,SurvivorsINC
Aramis,SurvivorsINC
d'Artagnan,SurvivorsINC,a newbie to the group
Snorkel,PKersAhNah
Shrubbery,PKersAhNah
Jujube,PKersAhNah

This example would make zergs show up as mint-green, 'SurvivorsINC' as white, and 'PKersAhNah' as dark green. Colours can be changed per personal preference, provided you use hexadecimal.

Important: When you write the list, make sure you spell AND capitalise the character names as they show up in-game.

7. Save your list (make sure it's as a TEXT file) wherever. I advise that you call it something generic, as the name of the file shows up when you take an iWitness.

8. Go back to FireFox. Go to 'Tools' --> 'UDTool' --> 'Change/load list', and click 'Open Existing' at the prompt.

9. Find the list you saved, and open it.
