The Dink Network

I'm called magicman here, but my real name is Joeri van Eekelen and I'm from The Netherlands.

I'm 37 years old and currently being a programmer who's involved in social housing software.

My interest in Dink goes off and on. It is currently off. Check back later. I kinda like sourcediving into the Dink engine, which is an awesome way at figuring out why some unexpected behaviour occurs.

Scripting techniques rant
Some Notepad++ Python scripts
Error in map_tile(); documentation.
Why void touch( void ) freezes, void die( void ) fails to complete, and you need wait(1) in loops.
About external(), spawn(), procedure calls, run_script_by_number.

For those interested, you can read my Dinkerview from early 2014.

Mass-deleting is impossible, though you can use [ and ] to browse through the sprites on the screen, then press enter to select it, and then press delete. Press ] again, enter, delete, ], enter, delete, etc... Or you can use SpriteReplacer . The basewalk (and base-whatever) works like this:

In the sequence selection screen, you see a lot of monster/NPC walking sequences. And if you look closely, everytime the sequence is for the down-left-direction, the number ends with a 1. If it's down-right, the number ends with a 3, etc. This last number is the direction. You can look at the numpad on your keyboard to see what number corresponds to what direction. Now, if you take the sequence-number, and substract the direction, you'll have it's "base" number. Sprites with brain 9,10 or 16 will add the direction to this number given for "base-walk", "base-idle", "base-attack" and "base-death" to form the sequence needed for the animation.

So, for example, if you want a guy to look like the sequences 381, 383, 287 and 389, you give it base-walk 380.

EDIT: Of course I mean 387 instead of 287... silly me
