: : Once extracted from the zip file, the d-mod should consist of a folder named after the d-mod in the main folder, and inside that, folders named Graphics, Story, Tiles and Sound (some d-mods may not have all of those) and some files such as map.dat and hard.dat. Sometimes the author will include the outter folder, but usually not.
: : So one thing to check is that the d-mods are installed like that, an extra folder layer is a common mistake. Another possible mistake is extracting the whole mess into one folder, that happens if you don't check the right option in WinZip. I think it's "Use folder names".
: Oh, yeah, and as a second solution for you sound problems, when there is no sound, try to restart the game. Works for me.
:::Thanks for the tips so far, I've followed the steps on the Dink network help page as far as I can tell.
I didn't see on the help page wheteher I should click the open file box or save box when starting the down load. I've been clicking open file which starts Winzip and then I've followed the steps on the help page.
When I do this it saves to Dink/program files. when I open the front to play DMODs the latest DMOD has replaced whatever was in the DMOD front drop down list. My drop down list will only retain 3 items, the Mystery Island DMOD that comes with the Dink download, Edit and the lates DMOD downloaded.
As good as eternity's title page worked fine. Restarting sometimes got me music sometimes not. I played through once to magic valley, although I collected all the scroll never showed up on my inventory in that first round.
The second time it did show on my inventory and then everything else did as well.
In Tejin there is no sound when I pick up the 3 logs and they do not show on my inventory. Should they? I tried talking to everyone first and buying a wizard doll, I also killed all bugs I could. I could not deliver the logs to mom.
Then I tried just doing the things instructed by the mom, no killing ect. just went out and got the logs. Still can't give them to mom. Have I missed something in the game or is this a problem with the game?
