I'm very new to this site, I'm a new dinker, I'm new at playing dmods and I just made my account about a week ago.I have never made a dmod in my life. I want to learn. I've never scripted, never programed, or anything like it!! If any one could give me advice I would be very thankful. I need to know where to start. When I say start I mean from very very scratch. I want to join and become part of the Dink communitie.

Start out in X:\Dink-folder\develop\tut1.txt. After that, download the Dink Goes Boating T-Mod (Tutorial mod).
Happy Dmodding.

*pokes the noob with a stick* Haha! 
When I first started making dmods I didn't know anything
about scripting either.One of the things I found really helpful
was using the 'Cedit' program and opening scripts from the
original game.Then I could see what needed to be written in order
to make certain things happen.
After that I downloaded a 'skeleton' dmod from the development
section.And the rest was history...sorta.
P.S. Oh, also I did end up having to read the tutorials that
came with the main game.It sucks, I know, but some things just
have to be done.

I suggest you read the ruidiments of scripting and looking in the Development section of this website first. You will learn alot.
THX carrie, but i need the VERY VERY VERY basics step by step. what the heck is X:\Dink-folder\develop\tut1.txt.??? Explain to a noob lol. I also still need my other question answered
Well, go to the folder where you have Dink installed. Then open the folder 'development' then open tut1.txt for some reading.
Oh, and if you didn't get that. Don't even try Dink goes boating, it's quite complex.

If you need some MIDI,s sprite's etc go to this topic
"what the heck is X:\Dink-folder\develop\tut1.txt.??? Explain to a noob lol."
That's common computer knowledge. Drive X on which Dink is installed, then the folder in which Dink is installed, and in there, the develop folder, and in there, tut1.txt.
EDIT: look for The Rudiments Of Scripting. It's quite a good DinkC tutorial D-Mod, and easier than Dink Goes Boating.
