Reply to Dink Smallwood v1.08 - Suggestions
If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
Seth has asked me to organize a v1.08 release of Dink, with your help.
The goal of this release is to implement "some bug fixes to provide a smoother experience for new Dinkers."
The current plan is:
* Make it so the frame-rate will not exceed 60.
* Add some (or all) of the changes from reDink
* Install a .dmod file archiver with Dink, automatically associate .dmod files with it (probably DFArc.)
* Use a NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) installer.
* Add Dink Smallwood registry key.
Other changes that aren't guaranteed to appear are:
* High/True Color support (maybe... at the very least it can't affect performance on older machines.)
* Small fixes in the original game (fix where one of the character's says Dink's line, hardness holes, hardness sticky points.)
* A frontend that doesn't crash when you have more than 50-or-so D-Mods installed.
* ffcreate2
* DinkC Reference v3.2
So... anyone have any suggestions?
And remember: the goal is to fix bugs and ensure compatibility on older machines. If you think of something really cool that should be added to the build, you need to justify it.
