The Papyrus Adventures is a pretty big D-mod.

The plot comes when Dink's son, Vink has took a decission to go on holidays at a Greek island with his friend. As he was travelling, his ship got sunk by a storm, and the 2 men were now on an island. As Vink wakes up, he founds his friend dead. His problem now is to find a way out of his island. But he's all alone...and he has to worry for much.

...But maybe again not!

[hr]

The Papyrus Adventures will be entirely made by 4-6 parts (depends on what comments i will get and how much time i will have).

I will edit this post as soon as new stuff comes out.

Also on this thread i will post code problems, questions and other stuff so it'll make the development of this D-mod easier.

Thanks for reading, i hope this Dmod will become a success, Mkbul.

Ok, so the first thing that i need is a boat without dink in it, so i can make an easy cutscene with DInk and his friend at the boat... Does anybody have it?

Let us save our effort and just lie down and die. 
What kind of boat are we talking here? if you're after fullblown ship, try the one on Mystery Island. otherwise, check out the boats on Dink goes Boating (by Simon Klaebe?)

Here is an image of the TPA village which you get there, exactly 7 hours after the earthquake. Houses have fault and everyone wonder how they will get out of there.

In the image some cracks are visible, and also there are bushes, mushrooms (Including the red dot ones that are pickable), gardens and other stuff.

I'm pretty sure the .ini lines are included with SimonK's graphic packs.

EDIT: By pretty sure, I mean I vaguely remember that might be the case.

Do you still have hard.dat in the main folder of your D-Mod? If not, copy and paste hard.dat from the main game into yours.

Yeah, It happens all the time. While I work on my DMOD suddenly hardness disappears and I have to paste over the original hard.dat over the one in my DMOD folder.

It could be because you have too many D-Mods already. I sometimes had this too with my old comp. I never found out why it did it.

Wait...do you have the original Dink Smallwood downloaded? DFArc won't work without it. If not, just back up your D-Mod's folder and re-download Dink, then paste your D-Mod folder into the original Dink folder. Then DFArc should work OK.

EDIT: I missed the part where you said the D-Mod worked ok, and that probably means you have the original Dink installed. I have no idea then :\

I think it's something to do with Vista, or some random bs.

Whatever the cause, my Dmods get installed and run fine, but the folders they're in don't always show up, and none of them do in the Dink directory, they just go straight to "C:/Dmod Folder name" sometimes or just vanish but run fine.

Windows 7 is the best, I think... It got the features that made vista good but it isn't as slow as vista, it's really fast.

Old code:

		if (&gold => 250)

	{
	say("`8here you go, have a nice day", &var);
	add_item("item-longsword",438, 7);
	&gold -= 250;
	}



New Code:

if (&result == 1)
{
	if (&gold => 250)

	{
	say("`8here you go, have a nice day", &var);
	add_item("item-longsword",438, 7);
	&gold -= 250;
	}
}


Try that out.

What Marpro said... but change that whole bit maybe to make it nicer

From this:

    if (&result == 4)
{
    choice_start();
     "Longsword -- 250$"
     "Nevermind"
    choice_end();
 
        if (&result == 1)
        if (&gold => 250)
 
    {
    say("`8here you go, have a nice day", &var);
    add_item("item-longsword",438, 7);
    &gold -= 250;
    }
 
        if (&result == 1)
        if (&gold =< 249)
    {
    say("`8You dont have enough money to buy longsword!", &var);
    }
}


To this:

if (&result == 4)
{
  choice_start();
  "Longsword -- 250$"
  "Nevermind"
  choice_end();

  if (&result == 1)
  {
    if (&gold >= 250)
    {
      say("`8here you go, have a nice day", &var);
      add_item("item-longsword",438, 7);
      &gold -= 250;
    }
    if (&gold <= 249)
    //or 'else'
    {
      say("`8You dont have enough money to buy longsword!", &var);
    }
  }
}

Not sure if that works. I'd really recommend removing that comment from there, or at least move it up or down a line. Also, it is a good idea to check if Dink has enough inventory space left, just so he doesn't accidentally waste his money.
March 4th 2010, 04:19 AM
spike.gif
It might be crashing because the name of the item is too long. Since the original script is somewhat broken, Dink will get the longsword regardless of which option he chooses.

Try changing "item-longsword" to something shorter, eg. "item-lsw".
