ack! (newbie programmer) I have no idea how to get dink to go from screen to screen! I have a few adjoining screens and all, but Dink cant walk to them when I run the game. How do i get him to be able to scroll from screen to screen?

This is probably in my FAQ:
http://www.prowler-pro.com/dmods/dmod-faq.html
Dink does walk from screen to screen automatically, the problem is that you're starting him out in the wrong room to begin with. My FAQ should explain the changes you must make to have Dink start out in the right room. I think you have to edit the button script, or the script where you set up all the global variables. It's been a year and a half since I wrote a D-Mod so I don't remember the names of the script, but the FAQ should tell you.
Mike.

It was #6 in the FAQ. Here's what it says:
Q: I have two rooms side by side, and I use sp_map(); to start Dink in the right room, but when the game starts, he can't walk to the next screen. What's wrong?
A: Don't bother with sp_map(); I think it's in START-1.C but isn't being used. Instead, edit your MAIN.C and find &player_map, and set it to the starting room. Or, in place of sp_map(); just set &player_map = the room you want to start in.

I ran into the exact same problem.

I use sp_map(); and I never have any problems. Very curious.
