The Dink Network

Many people may not know this, but it's easily possible to change the default things Dink says when you press 'talk' at nothing or try to use magic when you don't have any.

Scratcher has now made this even easier by releasing the two scripts you need, ready made!

Just add them to your favourite skeleton and Bob's your uncle.

Bob actually is my uncle.

More pointless trivia:
When looking at scratcher's profile, I got led to this profound discussion. It's an interesting read.

"Hamster should not be able to be stepped, for they dabble in the darks of illusion with the little bead eyes of evil!"
This is now my motto.

I did it about ten years ago, I'm not sure exactly, when just for fun I wanted to translate the original Dink Smallwood, which I partially did, but abandoned that work, maybe the file is still somewhere in the depths of the hard drive of my PC. I simply did it by editing the main program file with the usage of good old Norton Commander and it worked perfectly

It's definitely easier than the way I first went about doing this, using an outdated method.
Was glad to learn about it, and I'm glad to see a file like this.

Don't suppose this could be patched for the noobs, and given the scripts for leveling up, pressing Escape for the menu, and dying? Took me ages to figure out what I was looking for back in the day when I first wanted to change those (before I eventually started asking people via Skype or Dinkchat).

Is there any dnoweapon/dnoitem script? Like if there's nothing in the control slot?

Is there any dnoweapon/dnoitem script? Like if there's nothing in the control slot?

Don't think so. But I guess you could always script an "empty item" yourself, and equip it whenever you unequip/use an actual item.

I don't need it. I was just curious.

I'm gesturing wildly to no avail has too many spaces in it.

Oh, that's annoying. The extra space is there in the Dink source, too, but it doesn't show in-game in that case.

Did you copy it from the original source? They fixed it in 1.08, I believe.

You're right, of course; I was looking at Seth's old source. (Outdated files seem to be my bane lately, lamely enough. }-- --> )

Updated!

One space was removed. This has to be the smallest update ever...

Four screen dmod contest!

*edit*
Ups, I planned to post this here.

If this makes more people replace the default sayings, I'll be glad. That was one of the first things I did when making Malachi.

I think a four screen dmod contest is a great idea.
