I didn't know about this website, it's great!

Can you prepare compatible WAV files so we can try them in the game?

Feel free to use the soundtest D-Mod to test the sounds. Not all

Yeah I want to do it, but I'll need guidance. I found <http://www.freedink.org/misc/soundtest.zip> but the makefile doesn't do anything and I can't figure out how to install it. I have installed freedink-dfarc.

Compatible wav means as listed on http://files.dinknetwork.com/dink_sound_reference-v1_00.html , right? I'll feel bad about downsampling some high-quality sounds but oh well. :)

Here's for me to remember: I edited some sounds to sound like an arrow hit: http://opengameart.org/content/arrow-hit-twang
 

sounds are present, but you can edit it with FreeDinkedit ;)

Actually freedink.org is the up-to-date page, and the gnu.org
one... we should update it.

Right, I mixed up my clipboard. :)

That sounds like a good idea.  Do you want to prepare the rating?

<table><tr><td><a href="" href="http://www.tigrs.org/rating.php?data="">http://www.tigrs.org/rating.php?data="">" target="_blank" style="cursor: hand; color: black; text-decoration: none; background: none;" title="Click for more information about this rating">    <div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold;">        <div style="float: left;"><img src="" href="http://images.tigrs.org/ratings/tigrs-horizontal-adult-black.gif">http://images.tigrs.org/ratings/tigrs-horizontal-adult-black.gif" style="width: 76px; height: 128px; border: 0px;" alt="This game has Adult Content.

I used http://www.tigrs.org/?page=generate . Perhaps it would be better if you make your own, since you know the game better.
