Neocron Program

[Syntax-Error]

Im writing a Neocron Program to do some stuff. so far i have


Neocron setup
- simple GUI to change colour scheme from presets. add new presets edit presets. add some commands. change controlls.
and anything else you want to see in here?

Resist Setup
- A program that allowes you to add point/imps/armour/buffs and see what outcome you would get from it. anymore ideas?

Skills manager
- Hopefully an updated version of the old one, but ill be adding the ability to check what an imp setup will give in way of boosts aswell.

Anymore ideas?

i writing in VB anyone who is willing to lend support (i only have a city&guilds level 2) please contact me.

I can help with VB until the cows come home.. but don't ask me too much about tech stuff.. I leave that at work.. I lead a double life you see.. (actually. triple).. at work.. I'm goverment computer security specialist and programmer.. at home.. I'm (what did that guy call me the other night?) the Infamous Mr Shadowfall.. ROFL. Oh, and Wraith...

Well i just got asked to add a inventory tracker (basically input what u have and be able to view were abouts it is) will this need a DB?

[Zane]

For something as basic as that, why not run it off something as simple as a MS Access database? As it turns out, I know too much about that.. I've been forced to use Access Databases at work :roll:

ive used it to death aswell.. but i havnt learnt howto use a DB with VB (thats what lvl 3 is about.. im learning that now. and so far aint learn much only had 3 lessons)

Love the last two, would love it even more of the skills manager will be somewhat like that flash one ( looking like all the ingame skill windows side by side )

btw whatever happend to http://neocron.ems.ru ?
Its been ages since the last update, running runners no longer playing?
I could use an alternative, anyone?

Hey.. im not that advanced.. i just wanted to make summat with what i know..

[Thonkus]

yeah, out of curiosity, why are you reinventing the wheel? all that stuff is already out there and works great. If your bored and feel the need to do soemthing, write soem net code for KK to get the synch problem fixed.

[Syntax-Error]

Take a look out there thonkus.. there is no resist program like the one i have planned. no inventory tracker.. the skills manager is outdate to say the least and the neocron setup manager isnt there.

[Zane]

Erm.. well I do have a skills manager that adds the skills up.. and I do have a program that lets me configure the GUI of neocron.

But I will help you learn.. that's what it's all about.. right?

You said you were learning DB's.. so I assume you asked about DB's because you want to learn VB + DB's..

[Syntax-Error]

I know what u mean zane.. but the skill manager is outdated

and what i want it to have a GUI OUT of game to allow you to setup the INI files. and also have several RPOS colour scheme saved and be able to choose (and view) then change to the selected one


[edit] i decided im out of my depth. so nevermind

[HusK]

ALL are oudated, most of the programs even are from the times of BETA.
And there are also very view I like, most of em just don't work how I want them to. ( right now I'm doing with an skill manager which is outdated and then later on count the change in skills up by hand )

In short: Its about time someone made new stuff

The Neocron Setup and Resist/Boost features sounds interesting. When I recolored my RPOS blue, I just used MS Publisher (yeah I know, overkill ) and a bunch of color swatches side-by-side to get the hues right. I can't get an electric-blue appearance due to the way Neocron interprets the colors, but I can get a nice steel-blue (which I'm using now).

While im guna keep chugging away at this. im too far out of my depth so im guna say its not likly ill finish it.

[HusK]

don't try to do it all at once

Choose one of the three goals and persue it till finished, then you can still see if you want to do another...and another
