The Dink Network

The other day I opened up WDE to edit my DMOD (About 60% done BTW), and there were no map squares. I looked in the folder, and everything seemed normal. Upon further examination, I realized that the dink.dat file was 0 kb! I copied the folder to experiment with, and I tinkered around a bit, but nothing seemed to work. What do I do?

Panic?

Sorry that's not a very helpful comment, but I haven't a clue what could have happened.

Dink.dat *just* stores where the map squares are... if your map.dat is fine, then it should be possible to recover everything.

My map.dat file is normal, so how do I get the new dink.dat to work correctly?

Replace it, unless you modified it

You can't simply replace the dink.dat file unless you had no map squares. My idea is to possibly modify a new dink.dat file to add in blank squares, and then swap the files..?

Sorry for not responding earlier. That should work. Good luck!
