freedink question
I know this may sound like a n00b question, but how do I play D-Mods? I mean, what do I do to extract the .dmod file, where should the folder be copied.
If anyone uses freedink, please help.

If you have Dink 1.08, you can just double click the Dmod file. It will install, and you will be able to play it through DFArc 2, which comes with Dink 1.08.
I'm meaning freedink, the linux version of dink, because the only windows I have is on Virtual Box, which doesn't run dink too well.
As far as I know, .dmod files are .tar.bz2 files. tar -xjf <name of .dmod file> should work.
That exactly. Untar the dmod and move it into a convenient directory, preferably a directory that also contains the original dink/ Dmod. Then run it using -game /path/to/dmod.
Though if you've done things correctly, and followed the documentation and such, you should have the original dink game stored somewhere like "/usr/local/share/freedink/dink" or "/usr/local/share/dink/dink" (I'm not sure what Beuc has gone for lately) and then you can really just place your dmod wherever and just do freedink --game /path/to/dmod, and it should run just fine.
Oh yeah, that's right. Except I didn't use /local/.
Thanks everybody, D-Mods work now. Sometimes tar complains about the archive, but eventually, the files are extracted correctly.
