DE question
I've got another question: Is it possible to delete all the sprites of a screen by pushing only a couple of keys or anything like that?
And another thing: i don't understand the base walk thingie: how can you find the number? I don't see how...

Mass-deleting is impossible, though you can use [ and ] to browse through the sprites on the screen, then press enter to select it, and then press delete. Press ] again, enter, delete, ], enter, delete, etc... Or you can use SpriteReplacer 
. The basewalk (and base-whatever) works like this:
In the sequence selection screen, you see a lot of monster/NPC walking sequences. And if you look closely, everytime the sequence is for the down-left-direction, the number ends with a 1. If it's down-right, the number ends with a 3, etc. This last number is the direction. You can look at the numpad on your keyboard to see what number corresponds to what direction. Now, if you take the sequence-number, and substract the direction, you'll have it's "base" number. Sprites with brain 9,10 or 16 will add the direction to this number given for "base-walk", "base-idle", "base-attack" and "base-death" to form the sequence needed for the animation.
So, for example, if you want a guy to look like the sequences 381, 383, 287 and 389, you give it base-walk 380.
EDIT: Of course I mean 387 instead of 287... silly me

No, it IS possible to mass-delete. Simply press alt-delete
In DE you can set the base_walk easily. Just set the sprites's brain to 9 and voila! DE automatically sets the base_walk correctly. Then you might want to set the brain to 16 or whatever.

Myself, I use WDE definitely more, but DE still has features which beat WDE's. The biggest plus is the accurate sprite placing with the arrow keys and ctrl. It's pretty hard to place sprites exactly in the right spot in WDE when using 1240x960 resolution and you've got a terrible hangover and your hands shake... Haven't tested that hangover though
mass - delete, i like it 
so alt - delete, nice.. (As some of you now i can't run wde properly, so i just us de)but i'm afraid i have no time do dink right now....

What are you talking about? Surely dinking is much more important than any silly exams!
