The Dink Network

Absolutely positively nothing.

Then why doesnt it work?

What are all the random ' doing there?

My

void talk(void);

has a ; after it is the only difference

Edit: darnit meta always faster the ` is a different colour I thought

That's wrong, MsDink.

Edit: you've probably forgot to place the sprite which the script refers to, lol.

@ Marp, how come ? It works

If it doesn't work it's probably not attached properly. Or it is not an actual .c file. Copy a script from a different DMOD and edit that to make sure that your file is a good .c file. And double check the name you gave to the script and the one you have in the editor.

Also, make sure the object that the script is attached to is of the person/creature type.

It might mess up, MsDink, even if it works most of the time, so you shouldn't write like that

Yeah it might work, but you shouldn't have them on procedures... Might cause problems (I don't really know the consequences).

Edit: Aw, IPD.

I'm so fast

oh ok thanks for the tip
deletes all instances

Edit dang you beat me as well IPD heh

As I said, Godley. Remove all the random ' marks.

I don't see any ' marks?

I have attached it to a signboard.

the `% is the speech colour as I said before

This is how it appears to me.

void�talk(void)
{
freeze(1);
say_stop("`%Welcome to "�,�&current_sprite);
say_stop("Wow!"�,�1);
unfreeze(1);
}

The boxes are ' to me.

The script seems flawless to me.

And yet it doesnt work.

Try using DSHFN. It highlights most mistakes in the script. Although I don't know about this one. If I'm the only one who sees the ' marks, I can't see any problems in the script.

What doesn't work with it? Does the game crash? Doesn't it run at all? What is exactly the problem?

I attached it to a signboard.

And when I pres sspacebar next to the signboard, nothing happens.

Dink says "I cant see anything here," and all the routine crap.

What is the name and the file extension of the script?

sign2
And the extension it C file

"sign2.c" or "sign2.c.txt"? common noobish mistake.

This may sound like a stupid question, but are you sure the sign has the script "sign2" attached, and not "sign2.c" or anything like that?

lol marpro as well -
is it a person / creature in the properties?
Hard?

Yes, its hard.

did you put the file in the story folder of your d-mod?

The hardness nor the person/creature, nor most of the other stuff in the properties have nothing to do why this script wouldn't work.

This will sound stupid, but check the visions. Maybe only one of the visions has the script attached to the sign.

Or maybe make a copy of an actual working script. Take this non-working script and place it over the working one. Then check if it works in that environment. This will make sure if there's a problem with the script or something to do with the editor.

In the end, it will probably turn out to be something simple, which is always annoying.

I did.

Test it with this if you wanna (it works in mine)

void talk(void)
{
   freeze(1);
   say_stop("Statue of Likeness",&current_sprite);
   say_stop("Gaze into my eyes...",&current_sprite);
   wait(600);   
   say_stop("Stoppitt... you are freaking me out!",&current_sprite);
   wait(300);
   unfreeze(1);
}

Take the waits out (mine is paced for a reason)

edit eww it pastes weird... fixed i hope

um is there supposed to be a space between your ,(space)&current_sprite?
Mine doesn't and still works...
Anyways best of luck

You don't need to have the space there but it's far more clearer if you do.

Okay

someone write a code in which I can say

hey in white
hello in yellow.

DinkC editor gives me the following error report

Line#1 - Warning: This line is out of any function
Line#2 - Warning: This line is out of any function

void talk( void )
{
say_stop("Welcome to Village" , &current_sprite);
say_stop("'% Wow!" , 1);
}

Even this doesnt work.

And a second question.
What is the file type supposed to be?
.txt or all files?

PS neither work

Did you create a new .txt file for the script? Instead you should copy another script and overwrite it with your own script, cause .txt files don't work.

Upload your d-mod on megaupload or something for us to check it out. It's fine if you strip out most of it if you want to keep it secret, just leave in the part you want fixed and we'll probably have it fixed in no time

All I have is one screen.

Deleted the almost complete D-Mod, just to vent out my frustration.

Now that you've vented your frustration, see if you can undelete it. I'm sure it'll save you some work.

What is the file type supposed to be?
.txt or all files?

As someone said, it needs to be a .c file... Even if it says just "script.c", it might still secretly be a text file, because Windows likes to hide useful information from the user. To make sure you can see the correct extension,

go to Tools -> Folder Options, and uncheck the "hide extensions for known file types" box.

If after that the script shows up with a .txt extension, you need to rename that to .c.

As someone said, it needs to be a .c file

Oh, I said that, I said that! *Jumps in the air waving*

Hey wait.

Notepad has no tools.

Settle down, boy... I mentioned that ages ago.

Try Notepad++. It has syntax highlighting and stuff. It's very popular.

Lol, I was just joking at how Scratcher doesn't dare to mention anything positive about me, cause he's got his "problems" with me.

What the...? You didn't even mention .c files, so by your logic, I have "problems" with Marpro and Metatarasal.

Rest assured, if I don't say anything positive about you, it's only because you're a ducking retard and there's nothing positive to say.

Godley: Sorry, that was unclear... Go to My Computer, and look for Tools on the menu bar.

You have problems with me?

Doesn't everyone?

It worked.

And, I, for one, have no problem with meta.

Yay!

Was that yay for my not having a problem with meta, or for my being able to run the script?

Actually, I don't see anyone mentioning about .c files and .txt files not working, before me. Not Marpro, nor Meta.

And your post kinda proves you have some silly "problems" with me, and with life. xD

EDIT: Wait... Metatarasal did. Rofl.
