Dink Smallwood v1.08 has withstood yet another round of testing, and is a bit stronger from the ordeal. As before, this is a release candidate, which means that if no bugs or errors are found in the next week or so, this will be the final version. So, if you find something that doesn't seem to work quite right, and it isn't listed under 'Known Problems', please post a reply to this thread, even if you've told me about the same problem before. This will hopefully be the final version of 1.08. It has been used for a month with only minimal problems, and unless I botched this version, I think this is it. Full Install - RC6 (15.3 MB) Patch - RC6 (1.5 MB) For a full list of changes since Release Candidate 5, please view the comments. ( Read More ) |

It's been a long while since I've done an interview, and with the return of one of the old Dinkers I got the opportunity to do another one. One I've been trying to do for a while: Wesley McElwee. He has released 3 DMODs (Friends from Beyond 1, 2 and 3) and a trailer (Beginnings of Sorrow) over 4 years ago and has come back to us (hopefully to do another great DMOD  ). Head to the comments section for the details...

Dink Smallwood v1.08 has been sadly plagued with many, many, many problems. Performing 'simple' updates created submarine bugs, which caused unexpected ripples. Additionally, some of my changes weren't of the best quality. Yet, throughout it all, there have been a few Dinkers who spotted these problems, and helped make 1.08 seaworthy. I truly thank everyone who reported any issues, even if they turned out to be nothing. As before, this is a release candidate, which means that if no bugs or errors are found in the next week or so, this will be the final version. So, if you find something that doesn't seem to work quite right, and it isn't listed under 'Known Problems', please post a reply to this thread, even if you've told me about the same problem before.
