The Dink Network

how do i start a new map? every time i open dik edit i get the map of the main game. i can edit that but i dont want 2 so can you help me out?

well you started a new folder with dink.ini and hard.dat right? well open up DinkFrontEnd and select your dmod, then click on edit

ok ill try it

ok wut exactly do i need to put in my file, death day [my d-mod] cuz i thought i hav everything but every time i try to edit it it comes up with an error like this:
file missing: dink edit only works on full versions of Dink. wuts that mean? oh, an' im also able to work on already made d-mods but thats it.

What version of Dink do you have? See the bottom of the screen when you start a D-Mod (not in the editor, in the game). It should be either v1.06 or v1.07 to make sure that's not an issue. Then you need a directory in the Dink Smallwood directory with your D-Mod. In that dir, you need Dink.ini and Hard.dat (the required files to start making a D-Mod). Then you can load the game in the editor by doing:

Start>Run
"C:\Program Files\Dink Smallwood\dinkedit.exe" -game [name of dir]

If that gives an error, just let us know by replying. If it works, you'll notice you get two new files in the directory, Dink.dat and Map.dat (the first one is about which screens are connected and the second one is the actual map).

it still comes up with that error is it wut im using easy dinkc v1.4 to get started or wut?

Easy DinkC v1.4 is a program to write and edit the scripts for the game and not to edit the map of the game. Are you having trouble with editing the map or getting Easy DinkC to work?

editing the map. and i use easy dinkc to get started cuz it gives me the dink.ini and hard.dat all in a folder. [of course it gives me the sound folder and the other folders]

Start Dink (the game), and look at the bottum of the screen. What number do you see?
