Title: VC-MP Gamemode Maker v0.1a
Post by: [LCK]Stoku on June 25, 2008, 04:36:42 PM
Hello!

I've made a program what helps to create own gamemodes for VC-MP 0.3z and LC-MP 0.3z. It'll be very useful and helpful for beginers. It's a 3rd party software, then there are no warranty :).
Please read ReadME file before you launch this prog!

Download link for the last released version: http://lckclan.lc.funpic.de/Downloads/VC-MP Game Mode Maker v0.1a.rar

Informations about VC-MP Gamemode Maker v0.2:
Progress: 37%
Last update: 25.09.08

New features:
- New GUI
- Loading ini file
- Saving ini file
- Coded from the scratch in VB 2008
- New theme. Now you can use normal and negative theme - NEW!


Attention!
VC-MP Gamemode Maker 0.2 project has been closed!
Below are some reasons why:
- I've lost all data from my HDD (including all sources and VB)
- 0.2 version was unstable and crashed a lot
- I had no time to solve all bugs and crashes
- 0.2 source was so "dirty"

Im thinking about continuing project, but not on 0.2 version (cause 0.2 means crashes in my minds), but it will be 1.0 and final(?) version.

Thanks for downloading, waiting or reading.


The VC-MP Gamemode Maker v1.0 development has been started!
...more info soon.

Anyway, looks nice.

Without using OCXs using VB is pointless, since then you could already do it in C++...

I dont know C++ :x. I've learned something in VB in 1hr or less. C++ is much harder for me:(.

PS. I know that on resolutions less than 1440x900 it looks bad. Im working on new GUI.

Please post you comments and suggestions :)

Thank you.

C++ is more difficult to use to program mostly due to the lack of help / pointers *( e.g u type system.windows. it shows u possibilities like forms etc)* 

But its more straight forward, C++ also has minor advantages of speed over VB as it contains its variables within itself( or can) i find that VB is much simpler, VB 2008 express is a bit of an arse, if your using 6.0 stick with it, it's the best of the series TBH

Yeh, VB 6.0 is nice, but i've done too much in VB 2008 and everything works great :). I cant be arsed to move to VB 6.0 again to finish simple project like this.

Thanks for suggestion anyway :)

Cheers!

Is it possible for me to save my current work for later before I close the program? Just asking. :)

Not yet. It'll be possible in 0.2 version what is under construction. 0.1 was made in ~1hour after about 30mins of learning VB and thats why i not added this feature :). 0.2 is harder and at this moment i worked on it about 3hours.
Btw. Progress goes slow because last times im on PC rarely.

Thanks for giving me help, but I'll finish it alone, because I like coding :). At this moment I havent time to code anything and I dont know how long it will take. If I'll not find any time to code, I'll give you a source and you'll finish it if ya want. Maybe tomorrow I'll code something and update a progress on it.

Cheers!
Stoku

Edit:
Progress updated. Added new thing to the features list. Themes are still under development and maybe you will be able to make your own and custom theme.

I assume you use naming conventions if so do you understand loops, thers a very useful method i have been thinking of, but atm iuts theory only, Loop through all your object names and any that contain LST(the listbox naming convention) set to the colour of a selection you wish, this is very usefull because it would allow for dynamic changing of colours.

Just one small but important tip for the future - do not save the config file as C:\config.ini . This file may be used by other applications, but your program simply overwrites it.
Better use your application's directory (".\config.ini" could work).

.\       

? isn't that C#? not sure myself, Anyways yeah it could work i guess, not tried yet myself A simple way to fix such a thing is to make a dir e.g make a folder inside C:\ called VCMP_GMM or something like that

[LCK]Stoku, How about we team on the project, and I also add it to the latest VCMP GRM, This would mean we get double releases, also means you will require only one program to do two things, I will of course give credits where credits are due, and of course I expect the same in return :), I would also like to request your Source if you don't mind, so I can make some Minor alterations, and see if you like them, And then return the source, after an edit :) whatta ya think? I'm offering some free codeing that dnt happen often lol, but its there if ya want it :)

Pm me dude, Laters

In Windows "." is a name for working directory.

Orpheus, why are you pushing your help so much? Even after Stoku said that he wants to do this alone...
atm it looks like you just want to get the source code.

actually stoku Pmed me asking for my input and help... also, I could care less about the Source, I've built similar for SAmp, but its not released and still in the works
