Help! I want to make a dmod, and i've looked at all the text files in the develop, but I can't figure out how to make a dmod. In Tut1.txt, it says "To fireup the editor to edit in ATEAM, do this:

dinkedit -game ATEAM" I don't understand! And what is the map selection screen? All I have ever seen is a title screen, which displays for a few seconds and then disappears.

Frankly, Tut1.txt is useless. Here's how most peopel really do it. They get Skeleton B (copy and past URL below intro address bar) and extract it to a new folder in the Dink Smallwood folder. Then start up Dink Front End (it came with the game) select the skeleton d-mod click edit. (You'll also want to edit dmod.diz in some kind of text editor and put your own title in there.

Skeleton B:
