is there anyway to get more than the 796 screens, so that i can make the d-mod even bigger, or will i have to have a part 1, and part 2 d-mod? I just wanna link 2 796 block maps together b/c my current one is full, and i got a lot of story left to go!!!

Download Friend Beyond 3 (Legend of Tenjin). It has 2 map files. You can try to learn from it if you can.

In the Friends Beyond 3 that Mimifish mentioned, at a certain point in the game, the game told you to swap map files, and referred you to a readme that told you how to do it. basically you copied the map1 file to a safe place, and then copied the map2 file to the correct folder. I don't know how he coded it to work.

I didn't look at the codes myself, but I believe that the basic idea should be as followed:

1. Dink finishes all actions(or at least main plot) in the first map and comes to a place to save a game at ceration screen. (say screen #400)

2. You exit to the window and do map file swap manually. Move Dink.dat and Map.dat files (as well as all saved files except the one you saved for the second map) to a safe dir. Move the Dink.dat and Map.dat of second map from the sub-dir to the game's main dir.

3. Go back to the game where you saved last time.

4. The only thing you need to take care of is the second map should start at the exact screen # you ended the first map.

If you still have troubles with this, I suggest you contact the author of FB3 at wesleymc@iwon.com
