I was just sitting playing with my dink when it dawned on me that I sure could use a healing spell from time to time,...so I got an add-on for my dink. A healing spell from dink.net, and was confused when it told me to put the files inot my <story> Yet I've figured this part out in a few moments simply by looking for the story folder, and renaming the files from .d to a .c to make them editable....However now I have to actually edit a sprite (way over my head with dink edit,...all I got was a medicine shop with a grass floor). well at least I'm getting better at it after only a week! Will someone please tell me how to edit the sprite in any shop of potions to sell me this spell?? thank you!

If you're going to use sprites already in dink, all you have to do is open dink edit, then when on the map you wish to place sprites, hit tab to get the mouse. This means you're in the sprite options (the other was tiles) Hit E for all the sprites...err i really don't wanna explain everything since i'm sure there's tutorials :D I'll just go find one...Well, just go to the DN and on the left click development...there are a decent number..i'm not sure which are good, i can't remember when i used em..
Oh, try rtsoft.com
They made the original dink, dunno what they're up to now :D They might have something

Renaming .d to .c doesn't make files editable. Some tutorials are on the http:\\dink.telefragged.com. Try them.

Dinkerboy,
First, make sure your heal script is in the story directory, lets call it "Heal.c" for simplicity.
Next, DinkEdit and go the map screen on which you want to be able to attain the heal spell.
Press tab and the cursor should turn into a mouse pointer. Now select a sprite that does not look important, a chair or a tree for example. (to select the sprite simply press enter or click the mouse button while the pointer is over the sprite, the pointer should disapear indicating that you've got ahold of the sprite).
Okay, press SHIFT + 5, and a menu should pop up saying "script" with a place for you to type in a script name. (if there is already a script attached to this sprite, you probably should put this sprite down and select a different one). Type in "heal" (note there is no .c extension). Now press enter and then press enter again to release the sprite. Press escape 3 times (or until you get back to the map editor screen, with all the purple and red squares.) Now press Q and DinkEdit will quit and save.
Go ahead and atart playing, it should work now, assuming that the script itself is legitimate that is...

Kindanue,...thanks so much for your help!
I'm adding the script today (after my first cup of coffee of course.)
