Q: All my trees (or whatever) turn into pillbugs when I play! How can I fix it?

D-Mod Author's FAQ Revision 1.3
A: It's important to always keep in mind that DinkEdit remembers all (or most) of the properties of the last sprite you "touched." Basically, that means if you add a pillbug to the game and set its properties for Basewalk, hit points, and so forth, the game is going to remember all of this because it's the last sprite to touch. Now, if the very next thing you do is go add a tree to the game, DinkEdit is going to create those trees using all these properties of the pillbug.

Do the leaves of trees that have been tapped turn before those that haven’t been tapped?

Should I top my trees?

Topping creates many problems for trees including insect infestations and diseases, weak limbs, shock and starvation to the tree and poor aesthetic qualities.

Q: How can I fix the hardbox around houses and other big objects?

D-Mod Author's FAQ Revision 1.3
A: You'll notice that the hardbox around things like houses just doesn't do the job. Hardboxes have to be rectangular, and things like houses are too complex for this to work. There are at least three methods to "fill in" the hardness around a house. It's probably best to set its hardness type to 1 (not hard) and totally draw the hardness yourself as explained below. I use a combination of the first two usually.

Q. How do I turn in my work?

Q | How often do you prune trees?

FAQ - Pepco
A | Pepco’s scheduled tree maintenance is based on a two-year cycle, such that half the public-space trees in our District of Columbia and Maryland service area are maintained each year. The types of trees in our area generally need pruning every two to five years. Each tree’s size, shape and growth rate are taken into consideration. Maintenance may include pruning or removing branches that are too close to power lines, or in some cases, removal of entire trees.

Q: How can I block passages and make Dink turn around and say something?

D-Mod Author's FAQ Revision 1.3
A: Place something to block the passage or the door or whatever it is, such as a table (pick something that's just the right size). Use SHIFT-5 to set the script on this thing (I usually name mine BLOCKER or BLOCKER1 or something). Now, you need to CLIP the sprite away to nothing (sometimes making it invisible using the "2" option will cause it not to run the script correctly, so I just clip them).
