First you need a tutorial, this useful Scripting tool comes with a guide to DinkC

First you should read the tutorials that come with Dink Smallwood (in the develop folder), then if you need more help check some of the good tutorials here in the dink network. The best way to learn scripts and how they work is, by far, to check scripts in other dmods and the original game. The tile editor is pretty easy to use. If you can't figure out how some complex scripts work or you can't figure out why some of your scripts don't work, the easiest and fastest way to find out is to post them here on the board.

Mmmm, pizza. 
Also EasyDinkC is a good thing to use. It's the also a text-editor, but with different features than CEdit.

Another question.
I let my brother play the computer and he kind of screwed the first tile of the main game so now ther is not much left. Is there anyway of reseting the one tile?

Is there anyway of reseting a tile back to its original form. And im going to break my computer because it doesnt let me do anything for example i cant do anything with the skeletons or files becasue it doesnt give me option to unzip them. Also it randomly chooses to change webpages and close them but that is a different problem. Is there anywhere that i can download the files that i dont need to unzip. If you cant tell i dont play much computer because I prefer Xbox. But since my brother has lost halo 2 i am playing computer games.

Calm down.

First of all, don't expect an answer in an hour. Especially not at 1:30 in the morning. Second, proper grammar ensures a quicker reply since people can read your post easier.

I'll be nice and answer your questions (if I can find them) even though your post makes little sense.

Is there anyway of reseting a tile back to its original form

-- Yes. You can either force the editor closed if you haven't saved it or use a different copy. No for your case. You'd have to redownload the map.

i cant do anything with the skeletons or files becasue it doesnt give me option to unzip them

-- How so?

Also it randomly chooses to change webpages and close them but that is a different problem.

-- You're right. You're on your own on that one.

Is there anywhere that i can download the files that i dont need to unzip

-- No.

I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to.I guess.

Ok this is very confusing to me. Is there the complete guide to DMODing for dummies available?
I have gotten the skeleton running but i have no idea about what to do next.
