Reply to Re: Beta Application: dPlay Map Changer

: I finally got around to making dPlay, or Dink++ as it used to be called. After a series of misadventures with C++ (which must be the worst programming of all time), I learned there was a Perl-> exe convertor. And I'm quite skilled in Perl, because Perl rocks.
: Anyway, essentially dPlay allows you to change the map from within DinkC after installing it, without the need to start the D-Mod any differently, run a special application or anything. More functionality will be added in the future.
: The main disadvantage is the map has to have the same exact layout as whatever map is going to replace it... it has to do with Seth doing one single thing in Dink efficiently (reading Dink.dat once when the game is loaded).
: So... I need people to test it, to see if it works.
: http://www2.gvsu.edu/~walmadl/files/dplaymod.zip
: http://www2.gvsu.edu/~walmadl/files/dplayexe.exe
: Try installing the mod first, and see if it works. It should come up with an error message, and an URL that doesn't work. Then install dplay.exe, and the mod should work fine.
: There isn't much to do... Talk to the Duck of Time and Seasons to change between the Winter and Summer maps.
: Soo... let me know if it works, or if it doesn't.
Looks good so far. But you're going to have to tell us how to control it so we can do some more involved tests!
