I wanted something new with Dink. I'm playing it for a couple of months. I need a new thing. I have thought about what I can do? THis is what I want. Making my own dmod.

I've asked a fellowmember on this board which programs I need to make one.
Last night I have opened a few dmod to see how they wrote the story map, sound map etc.

My fellowmember said you need dinkedit to make one. I opened dinkedit and tried things.
But now I want to know what the following order is for making a dmod. Because you can save in dinkedit but where does it save?

I'd like to make a romp dmod first, because I was told that making a GOOD dmod is hard so when you have never made one start with a dmod romp.

And when I start to make one does I have to make a file where I can put the story file, sound file and mapfile in it. Or how does that work?

I would get Windinkedit. It can start a new dmod ( File/New, enter name ect...)
If you must use Dinkedit get a 'skeleton'.

I have started with making a dmod. I am just started and I really like it to do. It's a new challenge. But I have a story but now I have to come with a good title.

But I will come to that.

LadyValoveer was kind to send me a file I needed. So I use this topic to thank here in public.

I'm using dinkedit for maps.

When anyone know a good title? Tell me it can give me inspiration for creating one or to put a surpise thing in the dmod.
