Err... Lots of editing help needed ~_~"
Hey I'm new here on Dink network, and new to dink smallwood itself. So I'm learning how to create my own D-Mods, but its very difficult and all.
I'm quite sure I'll have a lot of problems, so I'll be posting them all here, and please help if you can.
Starting with my first problem -
As given in the stickied thread, I'm goin' through a few tuts given through the game, and understanding most of them, but one thing I don't understand yet - OK, I'll make all the scripts and all, but how do I add them in my Dink game? I know there's a separate file given, dinkedit.exe, and I tried it, but I don't understand how to work with it... There's a screen to add sprites to any part of the map, but when I do that, save and run the game, they're just there as some pictures!! I mean, they LOOK like they're there, but you can walk through them, and can't even examine or use any of them...
Oh and also how do I edit the sprites? i can't find any .bmp files of the Dink stuff in the folder...
~Thanks in advance!

I didn't quite get your question(s). Can you make a clear list?
Vuk he means that:
1.How to make Dink examine,talk etc.
2.How to edit sprites if they aren't in .bmp
3.How to add own D-mod into DFArc.

Err... No, you're wrong >.>"
I meant i wanted to know how to use Dinkedit, and how to edit maps and add all my creations to the game... Like all the new files, etc. Coz whenI try using dinkedit I don't understand how to go in the houses etc. to edit them and how to create my own maps, areas, etc.

Just toy around a bit...
And use tut1.txt, it's a nice introduction to DinkEdit and scripting. It can be found in the development folder.

Oh OK thanks, I'll take a look, but I also wanna know how to edit the sprites, I can't find any .BMP files in the folder.
There's a folder in the Devolopment archive that has all the original bmps for Dink.
