Ok, a while ago, I downloaded joshriot's characters.zip file and I can't figure out how to get them into my game.

to add them you just need to edit the dink.ini to load the graphics. in the skeleton b ini at the very bottom it will have a spot to put new graphics. if you dont already have any graphics loaded you should start loading graphics at 840. you need to understand how base walk, death, idle, and attack work to add new characters. the characters i made only use base walk and death. i will use the floating skull character for example. you will notince it comes in four different angles. base walk will tell the character which angled pic to use when the sprite moves in that direction. add the following lines to the ini like the example shows.
load_sequence_now graphics\SKULL\SKULL- 841
load_sequence_now graphics\SKULL\SKULL2- 843
load_sequence_now graphics\SKULL\SKULL3- 847
load_sequence_now graphics\SKULL\SKULL4- 849
load_sequence_now graphics\SKULL\DSKULL- 851
load_sequence_now graphics\SKULL\DSKULL2- 853
now attach the skull script to the sprite with alt 5. you can changes attributes of the skull to fit your game by messing around with the script. now change the sprites base walk to 840. it will look look at your loaded graphics and script to make the sprite move in the right directions. now give it base death 850 and it will show the bloody skull pic once you kill it.

make sure the skull graphics are still in the skull folder or else change the load_sequence_now graphics\SKULL\SKULL- 891
load_sequence_now graphics\SKULL\SKULL2- 893
etc
to
load_sequence_now graphics\SKULL- 891
load_sequence_now graphics\SKULL2- 893
etc
