FREEDINK(6)
๐ FREEDINK โ the game, but make it editor โจ
okay bestie, listen up, because this one is a whole vibe. we're talking about FreeDink, a manual page from section 6 (that's the Games section, iykyk ๐ฎ), and specifically we're talking about the editor side of it โ an adventure and role-playing game situation. yes, and an editor. it's giving multitasking main character energy. ๐
๐ธ SYNOPSIS ๐ธ
freedinkedit [OPTIONS]...
that's it, that's the whole entry ritual. you run freedinkedit, you hand it some options, and you're off. ๐ฆ
โจ DESCRIPTION โจ
so what does it actually do? you use it to edit the Dink Smallwood game, or to edit one of its D-Mods. that's the whole thing. lowkey iconic, highkey useful. ๐
here's the full rundown of everything you can throw at it, no skips, no cuts, every single flag accounted for:
-h,--helpโ shows you the help screen. your little map when you're lost. ๐บ๏ธ-v,--versionโ tells you the version. the "who even am I" button.-g,--game <dir>โ point it at a specific DMod directory.<dir>is where your mod lives. ๐-r,--refdir <dir>โ sets the base directory fordink/graphics, D-Mods, and all that whole ecosystem.<dir>is the root of everything.-d,--debugโ explains what's being done while it's being done. commentary mode, basically. ๐๏ธ-i,--noiniโ do not attempt to writedinksmallwood.ini. hands off the ini, bestie. ๐-j,--nojoyโ do not attempt to use the joystick. sorry gamers, no stick today. ๐น๏ธ-s,--nosoundโ do not play sound. silent mode. ๐คซ-t,--truecolorโ allows more colours, for those recent D-Mod graphics that are serving looks. ๐-w,--windowโ use windowed mode instead of screen mode. small and cozy instead of full send. ๐ช-7,--v1.07โ enables v1.07 compatibility mode. yes, the flag is literally a7. slay. ๐-S,--software-renderingโ do not use OpenGL. software rendering only, no GPU glamour. ๐
