The Dink Network

I've changed the frame delay on Dink's walkcycle from 43 to 100, but unfortunately, his walkcycle still has the same framerate. I'm not looking to make it slower, I just want there to be more time between frames of him walking.

Any help?

Hmm.. if you shared your code it would be easier for us to help!

Did you use:

sp_frame_delay(1,100);

?

Oh and you want to change the speed temporary, right? Ptherwise it'd be a better idea to change the animation speed in the ini.

This is my walking portion of the ini.

Where should I put the "sp_frame_delay(1,100);"?

Thanks,

Nevermind, I thought you were trying to do something else!

Weird, I tried using you ini-lines and it worked for me... Try cranking the delay up to like 300 and see if you notice a difference..

If that doesn't work, try searching the file for ds-w and make sure you don't load those things twice (the second time restoring the delay)

I made it 300, still no change.

I've also checked the ds-w and that's it.

Just make his legs move slower? That's easy! If you actually wanted to make Dink walk slower or faster, it would be a little bit more complicated; unlike other sprites, sp_speed doesn't work on him (nor sp_frame_delay, if memory serves), so you instead have to use the specific set_dink_speed command, which only works with numbers from 4 to 1, with 4 being the slowest and 1 the fastest.

Anyway,

load_sequence_now graphics\dink\walk\ds-w2- 72 100 37 69 -13 -9 13 9
load_sequence_now graphics\dink\walk\ds-w3- 73 100 38 72 -14 -9 14 9

load_sequence graphics\bonuses\bottles\botl-b 75 75 13 43 -12 -9 9 7

the part in bold is the line that determines how fast each frame of the animation plays. You can also change the speed for only a few frames in a sequence, like in Dink's punch animation:

set_frame_delay 102 2 100
set_frame_delay 104 2 100
set_frame_delay 106 2 100
set_frame_delay 108 2 100

EDIT: I see you already did that! I should try that reading posts thing sometime. It's a script problem with Dink, since some scripts overwrite the default delay in his walk sequence. See item-fst.c, for example:

init("load_sequence_now graphics\dink\walk\ds-w1- 71 43 38 72 -14 -9 14 9");
init("load_sequence_now graphics\dink\walk\ds-w2- 72 43 37 69 -13 -9 13 9");
init("load_sequence_now graphics\dink\walk\ds-w3- 73 43 38 72 -14 -9 14 9");
init("load_sequence_now graphics\dink\walk\ds-w4- 74 43 38 72 -12 -9 12 9");

init("load_sequence_now graphics\dink\walk\ds-w6- 76 43 38 72 -13 -9 13 9");
init("load_sequence_now graphics\dink\walk\ds-w7- 77 43 38 72 -12 -10 12 10");
init("load_sequence_now graphics\dink\walk\ds-w8- 78 43 37 69 -13 -9 13 9");
init("load_sequence_now graphics\dink\walk\ds-w9- 79 43 38 72 -14 -9 14 9");

init("load_sequence_now graphics\dink\idle\ds-i2- 12 250 33 70 -12 -9 12 9");
init("load_sequence_now graphics\dink\idle\ds-i4- 14 250 30 71 -11 -9 11 9");
init("load_sequence_now graphics\dink\idle\ds-i6- 16 250 36 70 -11 -9 11 9");
init("load_sequence_now graphics\dink\idle\ds-i8- 18 250 32 68 -12 -9 12 9");

init("load_sequence_now graphics\dink\hit\normal\ds-h2- 102 75 60 72 -19 -9 19 9");
init("load_sequence_now graphics\dink\hit\normal\ds-h4- 104 75 61 73 -19 -10 19 10");
init("load_sequence_now graphics\dink\hit\normal\ds-h6- 106 75 58 71 -18 -10 18 10");
init("load_sequence_now graphics\dink\hit\normal\ds-h8- 108 75 61 71 -19 -10 19 10");

There are also a few others, mostly load game related scripts. start-2.c and escape.c, at least.

Item-fst.c

I never would have thought lmao, it makes sense!

Totally works, thanks!

I guess you like the Golden Age.

Nah, it's more of a "This dink-replacing sprite's walk animation looks too fast and rediculous so i'll slow it down to reduce the amount of stupidity"
