The Dink Network

Anyone hear have windows vista other then me hear im haveing scripting a error (read topic tread scripting error for info) do you have simulor problems if not what updates do you have on your computer. iv only had it for a mounth.

Are you sure it's just not a mistake in your script? Seems a bit weird if Windows Vista was at fault for not reading your DinkC file correctly here...

ya im sher even if I go to edit if you dont have the file usualy it would make a new one under the requested name

im thinking mabey vista isnt compadibal enough yet with dink to make d-mods ill just use my sisters lap top till i see any postings that say vista is mor compadibal

I'm having the same problem. Vista doesn't even let me save scripts. Sucks!

umm it works fine on my sisters xp lap top if you still have a computer thats not vista i'ed suggest useing that untill vista is compadibal enough for dink to make d-mods

I doubt anybody will ever make Vista more compatible with Dink (or who knows, maybe someone in Microsoft is a true dinker)

From those of my friends who have used or tried using Vista, I've gathered that it's so safe that it doesn't let you use it at all. Apparently it deems that any software that is non-Microsoft is lethal, so it mustn't be allowed to save, write or create anything.

I use Vista with Dink, no problems so far.

There was a topic about Dink in Vista.Go and find it.

I have windows vista. The main game works fine. The dmods don't.

O rly?Cloud Castle 2 works in Vista.(I don't own Vista but in that topic that i said says that CC2 works)

all the game play works for me i just cant make d-mods

Well, the game was made for Windows 95/98.

Stupid Vista!!
Anyways, a mate of mine got me to go round to his house one day to see if i could get Dink to work on his computer. After hours of (nearly) random registry tinkering, I stumbled apon a registry key that said something along the lines of "WDE Scripts=0" I changed that to 1 and it worked. Not sure if that'll be the same fix, but maybe worth a shot.
!! Vista Stupid

And then fixed and recompiled to work well in XP and fix tons of bugs.

If Vista has problems running the exe, it's probably Vista's fault for having such a shootty security system.

lol i bet that vista is so protective it wont even let its ownfiles work right lol it is way to protective is what im saying

Yeah, well, it's what you get when you assume that the average user is dumb.

I have no problems in creating or writing scripts for Dmods on Windows Vista. I just create a new.txt file and rename it something like home.c etc and it works every time.

Yes, but the problem probably lies in Windows Vista not allowing Dink to read and/or write files, which is a big problem for any game.

I say stick with the older versions of Windows. You know, 95/98/2000/XP. Not ME though, ME sucks balls. Uh... not literally.

Or even better, go with Linux. I don't know if Dink's configured to work with that, though.

Haha, you don't know anything about Linux, do you? The whole underlying architecture and communication with the hardware is different, so it won't run Windows exe's (unless you use an exe interpreter/recompiler like Wine).

Also, don't go with 95/98. The architecture of that is outdated and somewhat crashy. Your best bets lie at newer versions of NT, or XP (which is basically built off of NT).

Yeah, well, it's what you get when you assume that the average user is dumb.

True enough though, when it comes to security or anyting vaguely technical.
For the "average user" Vista is probably fine, I haven't heard any complaints about normal basic usage.
