ok i got windinkedit and every time i try to do some thin on it it encounters a problem and needs to shut down I've never made a dmod befor and i need help i have know idea how to do this!!

i know how you feel. some one help us

I have no idea what with your little windinkedit problem, that doesnt happen to me, but for your "I've never made a dmod befor and i need help i have know idea how to do this!!", there are plenty of tutorials you can download that should explain just about everything, I reccomend "The rudiments of scripting 1.1" That kicks ass

yes the rudiments of scripting 1.1 will help me with makeing a dmod but the the problem is that when i go to make a new dmod it says (skeleton directory not found) what do i do?

yes that happens to me too. i think you have to download a skeleton

but how do you do that if thats what you need to do?

well im new to the dinkedit too, so ur askin the rong person. sry

you just download mike snyders "Skeleton B"

I can try to help here. First of all, download Mike Snyders "skeleton B", then unzip it in your dink smallwood folder. Now open windinkedit and press "open". A D-Mod named skeleton b, (or something like that) hsould be there then

I hope this helps

ok ill try it

Yes it worked but one mor thing i have know idea how to get the trees on the screen or dink or monsters pls help me?

WinDinkEdit Introduction video tutorial, by SimonK.

I just got it and now i cant find where to get it I,m leaving soon and ill be back in like 3 hours so i you got till then to anser please I got a ton of good ideas for dmods and i want to use them

Perhaps you may want to collaborate with someone to do one of your D-Mods???

I am not sure why it is closing down... Usually I maximixe it first, before I open the D-Mod, otherwise it has a tendency to mess up... Also, make sure that you have the upgraded version of windinkedit, as it fixes many of the bugs that were in the previous version. If you still encounter a problem try doing this:

1. open DFARC2
2. goto options under the edit tab.
3. Click CHOOSE EDITOR APPLICATION, and scroll down until you find Windinkedit.
4. check the box that says "SHOW DEVELOPER BUTTONS" , and then click OKAY.
5. Click the edit button (next to play), for the corresponding D-Mod.
6. This should launch Windinkedit with the map for the D-Mod of your choice already loaded.

I got the skeliton its working fine i got a vidio demo on how to make a dmod i just cand find it pls list some places it could be!!

for one, I'm having a hard time reading anything you type, and two, when you tell the computer to download it it should ask you where you want it

lol.

Where do i get it?

On this site, under the Downloads>Development link.

I suggest to download "EasyDinkC" it has a nice "create D-Mod" feature. And check if your computer equals to the specs for WinDinkEdit.

I am experiencing some of these problems, windinkedit always crashes whenever i try to start, or edit an existing D-Mod. I HAVE skeliton B, and set it to use it, but it just crashes again. I am running it on Windows 98, would this cause this problem. Or would i have needed to download the first version of windinkedit, then the new version.

Thank ye Kindly,
Echo

No, both versions are different standalone versions that both should work. Just how crashes it? Does it close down? Does it give the windows error box? If so, does it point to some library?

It comes up with "illegal opperation" twice, one when it crashes, then the next time you open it, it comes up again, but windinkedit doesn't close.

It asked for a library at first, but I told it to use Skeliton B, which I downloaded.

Sorry for double post, it was an accident.

Yes, illegal operation. But like I said, does it state any DLL files when it does that? If not, I can't help you any further...
