my first d-mod
Im nearly done with my first dmod, but a wanted to ask the pros a few questions, I hope redink is listening.
1: How do I screen lock
2:How do I add music
3: How do I makes sprites just all out attack on sight
4:How do I add items (right at the beginning)
5: Tell me how items work and there codes( example fst)

0: Use DinkC.chm. It would have helped you with all of these questions, and solve 3 or 4 of them.
1: screenlock(1) and screenlock(0)
2: Add a MIDI number to a screen's property or use playmidi("MIDIfile.mid").
3: This one is a bit more difficult, you'll have to compare the X and Y positions of the enemy with the X and Y positions of Dink, and set the enemies to attack Dink if the difference between those is lower than some value (like 100 pixels). I'm rusty when it comes to Dink, so I can't really tell you more about it than this (but check DinkC.chm for enemies' functions!!).
4: add_item("scriptfile", sequence, frame) where sequence and frame are the sequence and frame to use for the item.
5: Once again, I'm a bit rusty. Use DinkC.chm for reference.
And if you can't find DinkC.chm... Well, it's right there in the develop folder, with this nice big yellow question mark icon.

What operating system are you using? And have you installed the runtime files in the windows\system folder?
I cannot give you more instructions. Making Dmods comes with the responsibility that you can find out things and learn on your own. I mean, the whole DinkC.chm help file is readily available for you!
What I'm saying is... Try it out for yourself, first. If that doesn't work, try harder, look for help files and documentation. And if you fail after this, THEN ask around. 'tis the way of the game (and mod) creation.

My advice is to use other D-Mod developers work, for beginning. Let's say you want to do something, you don't know how, but you've seen this in other D-Mod. Just take a look in the source of that D-Mod. I think nobody will get angry because you "borrowed" some ideas. Still, it might be wise to mention them in the credits.txt file, or somewhere.
