The Dink Network

Does anyone know how I can edit the escape bar script?

Search at the script source of original Dink game the script called "Escape.c".

But, all the scripts are compiled in .d format.

You could check for the escape source code in FIAT source code or any other d-mod that utilises the escape menu.

That's what the source.zip (or similar name) in the development directory is for.

But aren't there many source releases?

The original Dink has one on the CD-rom. Don't know if the download file on DN has one. And a lot of D-mods are released with .c files.

Don't know if the download file on DN has one.

It does. Where? At the develop dir at the main Dink Smallwood folder.

C:\Program Files\Dink Smallwood\develop\source.zip

Thank you!

I modified one small thing in the script and next thing ya know, it freezes anytime you press escape. Does anyone know what's wrong with it?

//this is run when the escape key is pressed

{
int &old_result;
Playsound(18, 22050, 0,0,0);

You have an if statement before the condition in the first choice statement... that might be it... try removing it.

To expand on that, the (&game == 1) part should be okay, but you don't put "if" before it when you used it in a Choice.

In addition to what SimonK and Paul said. You also should probably fix the following.

title_start()
"You must save your game before continuing!"
title_end()

choice_start()
"Yes, I saved"
"No, I didn't save"
choice_end()

First off the title_start()/end() block should be within the choice_start()/end() block as far as I know.

Second the title_start()/end() functions calls should end with semicolons, just to be safe (for some reason this is not required with choice_start()/end()).

Well, thanks for the reply, but for some reason, only the Continue and Greed Speed choices will work. Am I still doing something wrong?

You need to close if (&result == 7) like this:

if (&result == 7)
{

choice_start()
title_start();
"You must save your game before continuing!"
title_end();
"Yes, I saved"
"No, I didn't save"
choice_end()

if (&result == 1)
{
fade_down();
fill_screen(0);
&player_map = 1;
sp_x(1, 307);
sp_y(1, 341);
script_attach(1000);
load_screen();
draw_screen();
draw_status();
fade_up();
kill_this_task();

}

if (&result == 2)
{
goto HELLO
}

//Closed!
}

if (&result == 1)

Thanks a lot
