Making a new dmod with Missdink

We putted new sprites in the dmod.

The sprites that cannot walk are easy to be putted into a dmod.
But sprites that can walk and fight they are though to be putted into.

We can't make them walk or fight. We did put them in the dink.ini file.

How can I make them walk or fight?
In the dink.ini file we putted the load_sequence lines and the preload lines. So what is going wrong?

We are going to make some new sprites too.
Missdink is really good in making detailled screens. So that will be her job. Scripting will be done by me.

Is there a maximum number of sprites that we can put in the dinkeditor?

We are going to create a dmod that contains all the purple blocks in the dinkeditor.

How can we make a map that dink can find and he can uses to see where he is going by
pressing M. Such as in the main game and stone of balance.

I have downloaded almost every file in the development category.

Walking/fighting works like this: you load the graphics in dink.ini and then give the sprite an sp_base_walk(&current_sprite, <the sprite number in dink.ini> ); and sp_base_attack(&current_sprite, <the sprite number in dink.ini> );

Check some of the scripts from original Dink for examples. The enemy scripts are good. (eg. en-bonca.c)

Is there a maximum number of sprites that we can put in the dinkeditor?

Yes, 99 sprites per screen. That makes 73062 sprites for the whole map. Putting too many sprites per screen isn't advisable though. (Over 70 sprites may already cause some problems)

We are going to create a dmod that contains all the purple blocks in the dinkeditor.

Good luck. I hope you'll release a demo for it since making that a large dmod will propably take time.

Check button6.c in source.zip in the 'development' folder.

Glennglenn,

Last night when missdink came home. I stood for her and push the spacebar nothing happened. I took my sword and try to kill her. BUt I didn't had one. I tried some magic but it didn't work.

So yep she is a real person.
