The Dink Network

I'm not going to make a news post, because reDink only potentially effects a very small percentage of the Dinker population.

Anyway, I updated reDink to v0.03. Here are the changes:

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug with changing palettes (before they had to be 640x480 otherwise screen-scoll problems would occur).

General Improvements:

• Experimental support for 10 times as many SET_SPRITE_INFO lines.

DinkC Additions:

• clear_editor_info(); //Erases all editor information (i.e. editor_seq, editor_frame, and editor_type)
• load_map(string map.dat, string dink.dat); //Loads the map/dink.dat you specify.
• sp_blood(int sprite, int seq, int num); //Changes the blood sequences for the specified sprite. seq is the starting sequence, num is the number of sequences to randomly choose from (i.e. sp_blood(1,187,3); would choose randomly amoung the three default blood sequences)

Note:

• load_map() information persists even after you load the game. The D-Mod author will have to keep this in consideration, so map screens with savebots should exist on *all* maps. This may be fixed in later patches.

Future Plans:

• Fix variable bug so &something will always be called, even with an &some declared before hand.
• Fix variable scoping bug where some variables are discreetly 'shared' between two instances of the same script.
• Add optional extended save game support, supporting much more global variables, more weapons/magic slots (combined with custom inventory screen), and editor information for multiple map files.
• Add interface ini file to define strength, defense, magic, life, current weapon, etc on the status bar.
• Add inventory ini file to customize inventory screen.
• Add a bunch of cool shoot.

Edit: Whoops, I forgot that I added var_used() which returns the number of variables used.
