Analysis: ;)
a. The "excuse me for maybe impoliteness" in the beginning is good :)
b. Usually here, we don't use mail or so, we just post replies on the forum, so that everybody can read them (and so learn) :)
c. Always add a "thanks" somewhere ;)
d. Maybe be more precise (see below).
Well, enough chit-chat, let's reply:
0. (in the previous post)
Hey I know! I've made a long reply about that a while ago, let's copy it :)
Lots of cool DMOD tutorials here:
http://dink.telefragged.com/down_auth.shtml
(Dink Network, Author Files part).
You have also a fiel called tut1.txt in the \develop dir of your main Dink directory, which will teach you the basics.
And to finish you have the list and the description of all DinkC commands in the dinkc.txt, still in your develop directory. This file is also available in .hlp format (usefull).
You can also get helped by Easy DinkC, a text editor for DinkC script which allow you to select and configure commands you want to add (eg add a dialog in "dialog-o-matic" (or something)).
But I recommend you to learn the basics before to use it though, you'll understand better what you do.
At last, if you have a script problem click the link below, it's Prowler-Pro DMOD forum, where you probably find someone who has the answers you need (don't spam though).
I'll add that the DMOD skeleton is intersting to begin a DMOD with it.
But I recommend reading tut1.txt first.

1. Make sure the two screens are side-to-side. It seems strange...

2. Read tut1.txt: you need to attach a script to them, and add a talk(void) line, then add some lines for talking then...
Yeah, well explained the tut1.txt ;)

3. Oh, didn't I mentioned Mike's neat FAQ?
You'll find a link to it here:
http://www.prowler-pro.com/dmods/resource.html
I'm quite sure it's explained here :)
4.a) Reply here (question #1)
http://dink.telefragged.com/author_neat.shtml .
For the picture, copy splash.bmp in dink/dink/tiles/, then put it in /tiles/, and modify it.

Lots of this can be learnt in tutorials. Be sure to read them before to ask here :)
I've replied to all so as to make you know how to find all what you need.
If really you don't find, then feel free to post, there's (almost) always a guy/a girl to
help you :)
And good luck ;)

I'm on my way to creating my own DMOD, and though I'm not particularly familiar with C, My background with PASCAL in Highschool makes it simple enough to get by. The language might be different, but procedure based programming is procedure based programming, however you look at it..
And now for the point of this:
...but a translator is always appreciated.
TIA for your Easy DinkC program.

Here you go again, answering to an old post. Well, I don't REALLY bother. ;)
Anyways, I notice you write something about my program, and in case you want it...The latest released version is here: Easy DinkC v1.3, and I'm working on v1.4, thou it's going slow because of school, and other projects and all...
Oh, BTW, sorry if it looks like I'm doing promotion, but the version of the program on this old post is old. Just updating. ;)
