Easy DinkC is an easy-to-use script editor specialy designed for DinkC.
I use this program daily and this is why:

Easy DinkC has many useful features which make dmoding simple. A new dmod is just a click away... Click on the bottom... name the folder... and there's your dmod! Same thing with dmod.diz files and readme files.
When you have started or loaded a dmod you can see all your scripts to the right with some information like the comment for each script and the size of each one. This programs also auto TABS inside If-commands and inside voids, you can also colour the text to make it easy to read.

One of the best things with Easy DinkC is the menu at the bottom where you can choose different commands. This is very useful to new dmod developers as it takes some time to learn all useful commands by yourself.

It actually even have some tools for making dialogues and shops, I've never used them myself though so I can't tell you if they are good or not.

The list of features and functions of this file is endless (well, maybe not endless, but it sure is long) so I can't write everything here. But no file is flawless (cept' "Chickens!") and this program do have some bad things.

The Error check for example is not very good. I think it only look for missing {, } and ;. Quite simple, but still useful? Well it could be, but it isn't updated for the newest dink-version. Let me show you what this can result in.

[code]void main(void)
{
If(&something == 4)
{
say("something is &something", 1)
//The error check will see the missing ; here which is good.
}
else
//But it will also see this as a mistake
//As it isn't updated with the newest dink version
//where else where introduced
{
//so it will always stop error-checking at else
//and never error check whats after.
say("It wont see the missing ; at the end of this line", 1)
}
}[/code]

There are more flaws. you can only have a number of projects in the "current projects" thing, this isn't a big problem though as you can remove some and then add new, but it's annoying. As shown in the part about the error check this isn't updated with the newest dink version and therefore miss some of the new commands.

Overall:
This program is easy to use and very useful if you forget commands as you can select them from a list and they are added to the script. The program isn't updated with the current version of dink and some commands that was introduced in this version isn't included.

A must-have for both new and old dmod-developers!

I mainly use this program to write dink c scripts anymore. It is so amazing. I like the colored text it makes the code easier to read and write, as well as find out what is wrong if you make a mistake. Make no mistake about using this editor it's very good, you'll be glad you did.

This is a very good and easy program to script dinkc in, it have helped me alot. Before i used this i used Notepad, and that Is a hard place to script in. you can check your script for bracket errors and such, autoindent your script, choose different text styles and it has a shop template too that helps you to make a shop script. The norwegian language is good for me because i live in norway, but it has a lot of bugs. Pheonix Did some good work making this dinkc editor. It is very good for beginners since it is so easy.

Fit for:they that aint so good a dinkc scripting

This DinkC editor is very easy to understand, before i started to use Easy DinkC i didn't understand! but this DinkC editor has helped me alot!
You can see your bugs in the scripts by colors.
And you don't need to remember it all in your head, sins it is buttons for about everything there, i'am gonna give this 9,2!

I do like this DMOD authoring tool, although I still use just plain old notepad - but that is only because I first started doing DMODs that way.

The coloured text option is great, as is the indentation. The checking for errors, while not completely exhaustive, is still handy.

I did discover it didn't handle DMODs with lots of scripts properly (which will impact on those authors who are making epics) as it doesn't see all the scripts once the number of files gets too large. Not sure what the exact number of max files is... But for those authors just starting out with a romp or quest it's great.

8 out of 10

Ok! This a very good and very easy DinkC editor to use!
It needs you quite long to make a script but with this editor it's super simple you can create an dialog script within 2 minutes. Phoenix has made good work! So please every Dink Network member should have this handy-dandy DinkC editor and it's cool for beginners.
It has very much commands and it's very easy to understand!
The end word: i will give it a good "little" 9.0! Maybe it has few bugs but, HEY! Keep it real! It was really hard to make it!
And as his friend i say to you all guys: Download it, Use it or prepare to be killed by me! Muahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
Peace

Even though stuck to my habit of not using dinkc editors, I tried this one, and I thought it was very cool. The color function was more than just nice, you could easily spot the bugs you scripted
Plus I also like "Sharp Style" option there.
This one should be very helpful for one who doesn't know much about dinkc yet, cause everything is explained in the program. I'm gonna give this 8.5.

This is a very good DinkC editor, though especially the norwegian version has a lot of bugs. The colored text makes it easier to find bugs, and the scripts look much better too... It's possible to automatically check a script for the most common bugs, like missing semicolon at the end of a line, and there are a lot of other features, but i have never used them, because of the bugs. Phoenix says that the next version , 2.0, will be a lot better, so i won't give this one more than 7.8...
