What's this I hear about a Mission Editor? Does this add any new abilities when modding the game?

Features - Planet RainbowSix
RSE has included a Mission Editor application with Rogue Spear. This allows you to modify the game without actually having to deal with the specific text files that control certain aspects of the game, thus making it much easier to make changes. However, this will not add any new abilities when modding a game; you will only be able to make the same changes you were able to make before, it will just be much easier now. No.

Q: How can I add new graphic sprites to the game?

D-Mod Author's FAQ Revision 1.3
A: This isn't hard to do, but it's difficult to explain. First, draw your graphics using the program of your choice. I use Paint Shop Pro 4.0, but a rendering program like 3DMax would be much better. Anyway, draw them on a white background (white will be invisible when used as a sprite). When done you must save them using the Dink Palette as a .BMP file.

Q: How can I add new background TILE sets to the game?

D-Mod Author's FAQ Revision 1.3
A: You can't really "add" new tile sets, because Dink expects to find exactly 41 of them, named TS01.BMP to TS41.BMP. They can be as large as 600x400 but many of them are not this big. You can load any of these tile pages (found in your main Dink Dir's DINK\TILES subdirectory) and edit them with your graphics program. Save them back in your own D-Mod's TILES directory (so you don't mess up the original). I did away with the existing TS39.BMP set and created my own TS39.
