The Dink Network

My brother and I are making a D-mod, and we are having a few problems.

1. We want to use the dark dink graphics pack and we can't seem to get it to work.

2. We have insreted the fireball and ice-orb into dink's inventory, but when we press shift, they don't work.

3. We can't Get the Elemental Sword dev graphics pack to work take effect...

PLEASE HELP US!!

Try to be more explicit. What have you done, and what is happening when you try?
To totally replace dink to darkdink, copy the darkdink folder into the graphics folder of your DMOD, then change the name form darkdink to dink.

Well we fixed the problem with the fireball and ice orb thing but
we can't get the elemental swords to work...is there a certain weapon number for them???because they just wont work...

The problem with the Elemental swords is that Bruce did not include scripts to go with them... which means they would be very difficult for a novice dmod author to impliment, as I am sure you are experiencing. Pretty much all of his graphics lack scripts or decent help files on how to use them.

Hmm... maybe I'll write some scripts up and include them in a compilation of various cool spells and weapons I've developed in my spare time. I was hoping to include them in Once a Hero, but I've been away from my computer with all my graphics editing tools for almost a year now, which has greatly impeeded my ability to aid Sabre in developing the more complicated aspects of it.

you can email me at Runemaster245@yahoo.com on how to put the elemental swords into my game...

I like helping people here, but believe me... it would simply be easier for me to write the scripts needed to use the swords. And that itself is more time than I'm willing to spend on solving that problem at this moment.

could you give me a base of the script?like what i should put in it?

Well, essentially, you'd be best to base it off of "item-sw1.c" from the Dink source, though, you'd have to come up for a way to script the after effect as well. Bruce did a pretty poor job of setting up the graphics and, from the looks of things, I doubt he even tested them inside the Dink Engine.

Tell you what, I'm going to go try putting the firesword in the Dink engine and see what I can do with it.

ok

It has come to my attention that redink1 has already implemented the Firesword in Initiation, so you can try bugging him... or better yet, just look at Initiation's source.

would that be in the download-development section?

Nope, just dl Initiation, it's all there.

sorry im kinda new to dink network and c scripting and internet lingo... where would i find dl initiation?

The link that says D-mods under downloads.
