If there is no script then write one, don't expect that someone else will do it for you.

Mmmm, pizza. 
Or just use item-sw1 (or sw2 or sw3, or copy one of those, and change the stats)

First of all just figure out what the sequence numbers of a weapon are in the dink.ini file. Then go back to you're script and put the numbers in it. But for every weapon you must make a file like "item-sw1" in the source.zip of the main Dink game.

Putting a new weapon in Dink is very very easy. Just make sure you are working in a good order. First begin with you're dink.ini file. Then the script and the the attached scripts.

So it does works with all scripts even for Magic etc.

And by the way the question of a few days ago about the chest. I am just using only the file ch500.c and have no other scripts involving with it. I have no spawn files such as "make" or "gold500". It just works fine for me.

Then change the names in you're graphicsfolder. Make it not to hard for yourself.

Then you must check how the bmp are saved. Or there is a default in the dink.ini line.

The real thing is that for the graphics folders as well as for the bmp's itself, there is an 8 character filename limit.

So instead of:
graphics\elemental_swords\fire_sword\f_d_after\f_d_after_1- 895

You might try:
graphics\eswords\fsword\fdafter\fdaft- 895

this way, the graphics can still be called fdaft-01 etc. and not exceeding 8 characters.

Then there is still something wrong.
Maybe the sequence numbers are not right?
Or there are not saved as a 256 colors bmp?
Or you haven't named the graphics the same name as you're graphics File in the dink.ini file?
It is very easy to put a new sprite in a dmod so when it is not showing up in Dinkedit there is some little bug.
So check all you're capitals and numbers. ANd also check everything again.
It can't be that hard to put a sprite into a dmod. And when you're not able to do it try to read some tutorials. They are quite helpfull.
Especially for beginners.
