The Dink Network

Ok, so I started making a D-Mod. I'm a newbie. But when I came to the point in Tut1 tutorial they say "To try out your work type :
DINK -game ATEAM. Now where do I type this command?

I will be thankful to the person who helps me out

You can type that into the command prompt. But you're probably better off wielding the powers of dink v1.08.

Just fire up DFArc2, select your DMOD in the list to the left and play!

Also, you might consider trying my own tutorial, it covers about the same things that tut1.txt covers, but it uses more modern DMOD making tools. (Tut1.txt was written over a decade ago)

'An introduction to dmod making' really is priceless, and we can't thank you enough for it, metatarasal.

Also, get WinDinkEdit+. It's here on the DN, too lazy to put up a link, also, welcome to the forums, DinkDoodler.

Also, check that sticky topic close to the top of the forum list.

Thanks all of you. I want to specially thank metatarasal. "An Intoduction to DMOD making " was very useful. And I use the actual DinkEdit cuz windinkedit crashes

try windinkedit PLUS tis different to windinkedit and for me personally it doesnt crash like the other one did.

Welcome to the DN

Thanks but WinDinkEdit Plus also crashes. Looks like I'll have to stick to the real DinkEdit. Or please tell me a good download link for Windinkedit plus
I have downloaded as many DMOD help files as possible but I like An Introduction to dmod making most
Look how much blood I sacrificed making my 1st DMod!


Sorry, just love the blood format
Thanks for welcoming me to DinkNetwork
And plz tell me if it's my computer system that desnt support WinDink EDit
Pentium 3 500MHZ
Windows XP SP2

Do you get a specific error message when it does crash? If so, post what it says.

Probably not, I have a lot of crash problems with WDE too- WindDinkEdit is a sucker for Skeleton B, if your dmod isn't using that as a base, chances are it's crashing because WDE doesn't like the order the graphics are loaded in dink.ini, or something in that vein.

But never despair! Dinkedit is supreme; do not shirk at it not being all point-and-clickety, endure the trial of the learning curve, and you will master the true power, keyboard control.

I've never used WinDinkEdit for more than 30 seconds. I hate it.

Ain't that the way it should be? I hate DinkEdit. No way to undo since it saves instantly.

DinkEdit is superb.

Sure, but I hate it anyway.

My precious...

Dinkedit sucks in my opinion...
Windinkedit+ is much easier to use and I've been using it for a while and it's never crashed...
maybe your graphics Isn't up to date or something...

My precious...
Lol.

I use both Kung Fu style, seamlessly jumping from one to the next as I use each's strengths for the tasks I need.

I now get the hang of it. Thanx for help everyone. I am starting to make my dmod with windinkedit plus v1.1.
Plz give help and ideas

Well,I have to say that programming a dmod is interesting,but what's hard is to come up with a good story...and to find someone to help you with it...

When I started 'The Bomb' I just started making something and after like half the game a came up with a story witch resulted in me rewriting like 50 scripts. So... Take time now to make up an interesting story...
