In my d-mod I'm using alternative dink graphics. Everything works except the death sequence. When my character dies it shows the old dink sequence. I used sp_base_death but it doesn't seem to be working. Help!!

One way to do it: Don't modify the code, just make a folder in your D-Mod's graphics folder named "Dink". Then put another folder named "Die" in the Your_DMod\Graphics\Dink folder. Put your alternative frames there and name them to DS-X3-## where ## is the number of the frame in the sequence, eg. first frame would be 01, second 02 and so on.

Do you mean to replace the old dink graphics? I can't do that because I you start off as dink and turn into another character later.

What you need to do is modify dinfo.c. This is the script that is called every time that Dink dies, and this explicitly tells Dink to do the fall-down-and-die animation. Just add if (&character == 1) or whatever, and put in your own sequence.
