ARMOR IN TNH??? yes!
Now you can wear armor, dink with chain mail, or leather or plate. It will be a great dmod, I swear.

Have you made it for more weapons and such? Sounds cool! :o

Yes: you can wear armor and a weapon, so there will be LARGE number of graphics, btw.

Leather armor = sp_timing(1, 0);

Chain Armor = sp_timing(1, 33);

Plate Armor = sp_timing(1, 66);



so, if you need to escape somewhere, dont use plate armor :) or else!

Re: ARMOR IN TNH??? yes! Escape... NO!

Escape? Dink always stands tall and fights! ;)

That sounds interesting! I'm looking forward to TNH!

Re: ARMOR IN TNH??? yes!
Wow! that will be cool!!!

But what's that timing thing??? (I still don't don't know DinkC by heart!)

the timing thingy means:



sp_timing(1, 0);

play all frames of dink with NO 0.00 second delay

sp_timing(1, 66);

play all frames of dink with 0.66 second delay

If you want to actually change Dink's speed, you shold use set_dink_speed(x) and sp_frame_delay(1, y) instead.. the herb boots, f.ex., have set_dink_speed(2) and sp_frame_delay(1, 30), instead of the common set_dink_speed(3) and sp_frame_delay(1, 0). the "0" there doesn't mean it takes only 0 milliseconds before a new frame is shown. You can probably do some cool things with sp_timing() too, though.. :)

Hmmm... I think I get it, the armor will seem more heavy that well right? :)

yes, if you use plate armor you will move slow, you use chain, you move normal, leather you move fast.

Wait a second.. won't that mean that if you don't wear ANY armour... you're moving superfast?

You haven't thought of that, huh? ;)

Here are the types of armor:

If you use hard leather or royal leather they will look the same :( if I change that, the graphics directory will be 1000 mb!!!



+# means + defense :)



Leather:



Leather +2

Hard Leather +4

Noble Leather +10

Royal Leather +16



Chain:



Old Rusty Chain +8

Fine Chain +12

Noble Chain +18

Royal Chain +24



Plate:



Rusty Plate +20

Splendid Plate +28

Noble Plate +56

Dragon Plate +72



You need armor to survive, some enemies do 100 damage ( ouch )

Hrm...I have armor implemented in my game, though i never thought of having heavier armor slow you down...i simply had different types...for instance, magic giving, defensive, etc...Good idea, really..i'm not sure the change should be too drastic though...chaging dinks speed from 3 to 2 or 4 is a HUGE difference..just changing the frame rate of the attacks a bit would be a good idea.. i was going to have bigger slower weapons also, but ya, armor that changes speed, great idea ;)  If it turns out good i might yoink the idea and credit you a bit..hehe
