Hello everyone, I have finally gotten around to starting a program I have always wanted to make.
A Standalone DMOD Packager.
What this does is it allows you to make a self-extracting file containing a distributable version of a DMOD so that other people can play it without having to install Dink Smallwood. This means that you can put it up for download on your own personal site so that your friends and admirers can play that ultra cool game you just made.
If you would like to try it out, it's available here. What you have to do after decompressing it, is you run dinkpacker.exe and hopefully it should tell you what to do. If it doesn't then tell me if it throws up an error or if it's unclear what you must do. If you can't decompress dpacker.7z, you must download WinRAR or 7-zip. It may be unstable and it might not work at all, so be warned.
If you're not using Windows, you might be able to get it working by installing the necessary libraries (easygui and Pillow/PIL) using pip or easy_install if you have a Python interpreter. It will only be able to generate a standalone release for Windows because of current technical limitations.
Planned features
----------------
Multiple DMOD support
Sound file compression
Save cleaner
Customizable launcher options
NSIS support (possibly)
