Ok, I really really really want to make my own D-mod, (and not one of those lame ones where it just sucks,)but I have absolutely no programing expirience, (at all.) What tutorials do I need, what programs do I need, what files do I need? Any help would be great.

Thanx,

I downloaded Windinkedit (for the map), and look at some of the tutorials in the development section... particularly the Rudiments of Scripting... also, if you look through the files in the 'develop' folder that came with Dink Smallwood, you'll find some useful files.

I hadn't done any scripting before I started the d-mod I'm working on at present, and the files mentioned above really helped me.

Good luck!

You're very welcome. Let me know if you need anything explained in beginner's terms!

I didn't know any scripting before I did my D-Mod, either... but I was able to figure most things out by looking at the source code from Dink and from Cast Initiation. Plus I read through most of the DinkC reference... that document is a lifesaver! No, I didn't use any tutorials at all, even though I usually do. I guess that makes me a bit of a masochist.

I looked at most of the tutorials, but the only one I really used was rudiments of scripting... and then with trial and error and looking at other d-mods... I managed to get a grip on things (of sorts!).

Well, Thanks for all the help. It seems like it probably won't be easy. But I'll keep on truckin'.
