New D-Mod Demo: Dink's Short Adventure
Posted by redink1 on Monday May 5th, at 07:32 AM
Jeremy Moore has released a demo to his D-Mod Dink's Short Adventure. It seems like a pretty short demo, and there wasn't a description included. Perhaps Dink accidently shrinks and becomes short?

New Epic D-Mod: World of DinkC
Posted by redink1 on Monday May 5th, at 07:35 AM
Simeon has released a new epic D-Mod by the name of World of DinkC. Apparently, a scripting error messes up Dink's world, and he has to try to figure out how to fix it. Its a rather large one (hence the epic designation), and should take a good 4 hours to beat.

New Misc Cheat: Unlock Fiat Secrets
Posted by WC on Thursday May 8th, at 02:18 PM
Listen up all you cheaters and hackers. My boy DuckLord has just relased a new file called 'Unlock Fiat Secrets' which does exactly what it says, it unlocks the cheats menu in FIAT. Which is acctually a good thing, since you more than likely can't beat the game due to redman's bugs.

Site Updates: Messaging System Active
Posted by WC on Sunday May 11th, at 10:28 PM
The messaging system has been added. You can access it in the account page. If you have new messages, it will tell you on the board. Thanks to my boy SuperwolfMan for the graphics. If you notice any bugs, let me know. I will probably be making changes over the next few days, adding things here and there, so if you notice something, post in this topic, message me, something.

Also, with the messaging system, you can add people to a buddy list, and block people from messaging you. If someone spam’s you or breaks the rules, just block them, do not complain to us. If someone causes a lot of trouble on the system..well, you know what will happen.

Last but not least, I have loosened the grip on the swear filters a bit. A few of the words can be used in common conversation so I unfiltered them so you may use them. The rules for flaming still apply's, do not take advantage of my kindness.

Have fun kiddies!
 
New Dev Music: Midi Meyhem 1.0
Posted by WC on Monday May 12th, at 02:24 PM
That Crazy Drunk Josh Riot has made some great quality music to put in your d-mod and has called the creation Midi Meyhem (Not to be confused with Midi Mayhem). I must say these are rather good midi's, there is 10 in the pack, and several uncompleted songs.
 
New D-Mod : Eternal Suicide Chapter Zero - Wasted Life
Posted by Kyle on Friday May 16th, at 12:35 PM
Nitronic has released his very first d-mod : Eternal Suicide Chapter Zero - Wasted Life.

I've tested the d-mod myself and I must say it's rather good. It should take you at least 1.30 hours to complete and it's filled with interesting cutscenes. It's very difficult however and it may take you several tries to get through.
Anyway, enjoy it.

Hey guys, sorry for the delay, I am here after coding for a for hours and I have the results. This time around, not only do we have a winner, but we have two, which makes up for last times mistake of no one getting the award. Our winners are FireLake with Dinkablo II: Shadow and Flame Demo and Lancemads with Dink's Father. Congrats to our two winners.

Fun Fact: The only person to review the two winning files is Kat. (hint hint)

Site News: File Updates
Posted by WC on Friday May 23rd, at 03:58 PM
Due to author demand 'Eternal Suicide Chapter Zero - Wasted Life' by Nitronic and all the files by Morpheus have been moved to "Neglected Status" which means they are now not available for download but you can still review them and ask question in the file forums and such.
 
Recondite Twenty: Contravene All
Posted by redink1 on Saturday May 24th, at 06:38 PM
Recondite is my article, and is supposed to be weekly (though it is never released on a schedule) and is usually a whole lot of crazy rants, stories, poll comments, and links.

This week I delve into the whole bizarre WC vs Nitronic vs Eternal Suicide vs Midis of Doom scenario, a small low-budget film by the name of The Matrix Reloaded, and the new Forum I'm coding. Oh, and of course some Poll Comments and Links. My apologies, as it is quite long, though spliced with some pitiful attempts at humor. View the Comments to read it.

A Happy End For Us All
Posted by Kyle on Sunday May 25th, at 04:27 AM
Yes, this is about Eternal Suicide. Guess what? It's back, so go download the infamous d-mod.

I was wrong to accept the midi pack back then, because I hadn't thought about the rule. All that followed is history by now.

I talked to Nitronic and Redink and straightened things out. ES is back, Nitronic is NOT giving up on all of his projects and his account won't be deleted. I hope you'll all let it rest, it isn't exactly a moment that makes the community shine.
 
New Misc File: Tripple Triad
Posted by Dukie on Monday May 26th, at 10:27 AM
Yes, I still haven't been kicked out as a staff member and therefore I can present to you, the Dink Network visitor, Gustav's latest and first creation, namely Tripple Triad. It's a card game from Final Fantasy VIII in a non digital form. I personally never played the game, so I can't jugde it, I leave that up to the people!
 
Tripple Triad going down!
Posted by Dukie on Wednesday May 28th, at 07:11 AM
Gustav asked me to take down Tripple Triad, so down it goes! Read Gustav's explanation here.

Just a friendly reminder: the deadline for the Evil Hero D-Mod Contest is June 1st, 2003 PST (GMT -8). That means your D-Mod has to arrive at redink1@rpgplanet.com before the deadline. If it arrives at 11:59 PM on May 31st, 2003 PST then it will be accepted; a minute later and it would not.

As of this news posting, there are about 40 hours and 30 minutes remaining.

For the other rules and regulations, check out the original contest announcement.

Updated 4:08 PM PST, May 31st 2003: So far I've received Binirit's 'Twins' entry, as well as Magicman's 'The Beginning of Evil'. I'll try to check again in a few hours, and update here if any more have arrived. If you *really* want to be sure that your D-Mod arrives, feel free to send a copy to WC (wc@rpgplanet.com). A little less than 8 hours remaining!

Updated 8:10 PM PST, May 31st 2003: Just to let you know, I haven't received any other entries, and there are just under 4 hours remaining! Good luck, if there are still people working on their entries
