Heya! If you haven't checked this topic, do it now!
Download rudiment of scripting, read ALL OF IT! Then look through the source of any D-Mod(I preffer Mystery Island for newbies) and change a bit and see what happens instead! SimonK has made some great video tutorials, I recommend that you watch them carefully AFTER you have read Rudiment of Scripting and got an insight of DinkC.
Also download WinDinkEdit. Thats the original WinDinkEdit, there is another called WinDinkEdit Plus but I've allways used the original and it works great.
Also have in mind: Your first D-Mod is not a D-Mod, it's a TEST. Make a small D-Mod with some lousy scripts and see if it works, then you can start making a real one. Otherwise you'll end up like Skull and get very low score at your released D-Mod and therefore get a kinda crappy reputation in D-Modding... No offense Skull, it would be nice to see your D-Mods with a little higher standard.
final tip... Don't try to add new graphics 'til you got the primary skills in WinDinkEdit/scripting etc.
When you got the basic skills in scripting, focus all your energy in your story and the environment of the D-Mod and you'll end up with a D-Mod grade 8-9+
Good luck! Remember to ask us when you get stuck
