It's great to see such a dedicated Dinker, that after all these years, he still decides to come back and finish his D-Mod.

EDIT: Oh, and look at that. The second screenshot has my cousins in it.

Well, Dink is simple an unforgettable hero.

I like the house-buying thing you did for Historical hero, I think I will copy that to the second part.

Cool that you liked it.

On a side note, I know this is your thread, but you should probably use the "modify" button instead of replying many times. It can cause some trouble, especially with people who don't use nested views.

Well, I have made a new stackable system that don't use global variables so Dink can have a lot of ingredients for potions, which is needed for the potion making that will be important in this part, I made some puzzles, mapped ~ 250. I took the windmill and a lot of other graphics. The plan is to bring in all new graphics that has been made from dink development file section in this part.

I know the first part is too hard. I made an update of the first part but I am note sure it is bug free, so I will test it some more before I upload it.

That's what I'm doing too, it's very possible, though you need to plan it out I think the more people use the dev files the more people will be inclined to create them, which is a win-win situation

All new graphics = Insanely huge file-size = Modem explodes = No internet = Less people playing Dink

Nah but seriously, if the file size doesn't become 50Gig-ish then that would be awesome. New graphics always give a DMOD more of an atmosphere, in my opinion. Stops it feeling like "Just another DMOD".

Well, I will not use each and every thing in all dev-files, but take some from each that fits the game and looks good:

The graphics folder is 140MB now.
April 10th 2011, 12:56 PM
peasantmg.gif
Raven
Peasant He/Him Sweden
 
Yes, I read your post about this idea before so I copied it

Actually a good idea would be to make a new graphics base folder, as the one with the original game, but rearranged to include the old and the best of the newly developed graphics. Re-write the dinkini and make sure no space is wasted. Some sequences in the dink base graphics only includes a few sprites and could be moved togheter with other sequences to save space, etc. Then add a new option in DFArc for running the DMOD with the new base graphics folder, for new DMODs that can use this folder as the base graph folder instead.

I just uploaded an updated version of the
Reply to The Green Voice in my Head - Part I - Hangover and Agony.

version 4.0.

Changes between version 3.0 and 4.0

Total rewrite of all scripts using notepad++ with dinkC mode. This should have removed some bugs.

Changes to the game play:

The main idea of the rewrite was to assure that player can not get stuck in the game without realizing this. Now, failures either leads to Dink dying or that the player has to solve more sub-quests to get further in the story. There are no dead-ends (without dying).

The extra graphics in frame 50-70 (in lands/garden ) are moved to lands/grass, (~ frame 6-25)
because only up to 50 frames are allowed in a sequence. For some reason the dmod worked anyway
before in some versions of Dink, but not in all. The hard boxes of some sprites where also adjusted.

The Green Voice in my Head - Part II - The Siege

"In the end of previous part, Dink and Desert Rat traveled back to Stonebrook, just to discover that an Dark Lands army has attacked his old kingdom and laid a
siege on GoodHearts Castle. Without any hope at making it into the castle, and to get hold on the prince of Niv, Desert Rat argues that they should immediately travell back to unoccupied land. Dink agrees to follow only if they also take the injured back with them.

While Desert Rat revive the injured and prepare for a mass-warp out of Stonebrook, Dink has to fight off the invaders."

Update for the second part.
Since finishing my research studies, I have had some free time to work on The Green Voice - part II.
I have made much progress the last weeks. But I am a bit that I have introduced to many threads in the story that must be closed in the end.

Current status:

* 317 Screens used
* 788 scripts
~ 40 puzzles / missions.

Just like in the first part, I tried to make the puzzles independent of each other.

It would be even better (assuming anyone could successfully contact him) if he would upload an unfinished dmod that represents how far he has gotten with this project. Although I'm currently working on my own (small quest to romp sized?) dmod now, I'd be very pleased to take it on as my next effort and give it the same treatment I gave to SabreTrout's Valhalla, assuming that he (and others) would want me to do so.
