First of all, what do you mean by "I copied the graphics map from the original game"? It almost sounds like you copied the all the orginal graphics files into the skelaton folder. If so, DON'T! (sorry) That will make your d-mod huge, and isn't nessesary; the game can still find the original graphics where they were. The same goes for scripts, if you want to use a standard script, say en-pill.c (a pillbug), unless you want to change it, there's no need to copy it to the new d-mod's folder.

Okay,
1. Let's try the most pasic first, you know you can press Page Down for more, right?

2. You need add a line to Dink.ini (in your d-mod) like this:
load_sequence graphics\houses\house- 789
Assuming your fraphics are named house-01.bmp house-02.bmp etc and are saved in the houses subfolder in the graphics folder of that d-mod. and 789 is an unused sequence. Yes it can read both bmp and ff at the same time.

3. People don't normally do this, so ask the author.

4. In the file start-1.c find the line "&player_map = 400;" (towards the top of the file) and change 400 to another screen number.

I realize I gave short and simple answers, you'll probably need more details. There's some good tutorials and guides on this site, or if you can't find the answer, just ask.
