i have a suggestion.
those sideways tabs honestly suck they take up too much space and put a crick in your neck.
i suggest that a "view" menu be put at the top like where "file" would be.
this would save space and make it just as accesable

Quantos · 09-28-2003, 05:19 PM

Here here, Yea Leet!!!

GoodVillain · 09-29-2003, 02:31 PM

I will have 2 versions. One with a tabbed menu and the other with a drop down menu. This is because some people perfer tabbed and some perfer a more space saving method like a drop down menu.

Why don't you have a launch menu that determins the look :-)

you could easily put IF ( something ) { AddButton ) in the code.

GoodVillain · 09-29-2003, 04:09 PM

After I posted that I started to think about putting that in the options menu. Thanks.

Phantom · 09-29-2003, 04:12 PM

GoodVillain · 10-01-2003, 08:15 PM

If anyone wanted to know you must have Windows 2000 or XP. I will make it more compatible in the future.

sh1ny · 10-01-2003, 08:18 PM

i've sent you a pm GoodVillain

GoodVillain · 10-01-2003, 10:44 PM

Thanks for the PM

For those that ask what the tournament feature is I will explain.

The tournament tool is really useful for shard admins that like to hold tournaments. It supports up to 16 players. It has a bracket which you place the players name in. When a player wins youll click a button next to the winners name. That will place them in the next round and broadcast a message on the server declairing the winner and who he beat.

Here is a screenshot at http://koyrith.seanchen.net/overlord/screen6.gif

**Zippy** · 10-01-2003, 11:15 PM

Why don't you use Ultima.dll rather than all of those other things (uoart,uomap,etc)

GoodVillain · 10-01-2003, 11:44 PM

I havent really messed around with Ultima.dll much to be honest. I got it downloaded a while back but I havent had the time.

Ill play with it tommarrow.

Also am using VB6. (And it works great so dont complain.) Isnt the SDK for .net?

Phantom · 10-02-2003, 12:23 AM

Dude...

At least use VB.NET

If you need help, I can work with VB.NET enough to remember stuff.

ALthough I am busy with Factions so it will be a little awhile.

Perhaps I can work on a VB.NET version, up to you.

Would rather have C# actually.

GoodVillain · 10-02-2003, 12:32 AM

I have all ready got much done in VB6 all ready. Like I said, on a rainy day ill try to convert it or give the source to you and you can mess with it. Its not bad and it gets the job done.

Wolverana · 10-02-2003, 02:02 AM

Dare I suggest a horizontal setting also if it's not there already that is?

GoodVillain · 10-02-2003, 02:17 PM

Sorry. That wont be supported but its not a big loss.

Oleric · 10-10-2003, 03:36 PM

is this still in works or is it finished?? site or anything?

i'll beta if you would like....i am new to the shard emulation thing so it would show a n00bS perspective on things

EDIT: after reading, i guess i am supposed to PM you if i want to beta lol

oh well you'll see this prolly

Luminous · 10-13-2003, 11:52 AM

I've sent you a PM.

Neonbox · 11-05-2003, 06:39 AM

well you should keep this updated because i have 98se (i wasn't fond of xp) so please post in here when or if it is posible

11-05-2003, 11:44 AM

Looks nice. Probably wasn't much use in me updating FrontEnd... oh well

Philantrop · 11-05-2003, 03:40 PM

I beg to differ, Sno. While one monolithic tool might be good for some I don't like it. I like to keep different types of tools apart.

And: The updated frontend actually exists. This new GM tool so far isn't downloadable anywhere I'm aware of.

warlocke · 11-06-2003, 09:05 PM

here's an interface idea for ya:

take a look at flash mx, dreamweaver mx, not sure what other programs are similar. docking tool windows that can be collapsed and expanded. depending on one's desktop real estate and how well the tool windows are designed, you could have 5 or 6 tool sets open at once, the ultimate gm tool w/ high customization.

yup.

GoodVillain · 11-17-2003, 03:33 AM

I am doing other projects that I can profit from or rather do. I also pretty much lost interest in RunUO tool development. I am going to clean up the source a bit and finish parts of it and then I am going to give the source to Phantom because he said he will be happy to finish it.

Thanks to those that have had an interest in the past.

Tylius · 11-17-2003, 10:53 PM

Well thanks for letting someone continue the development of it, and thanks for your work on it so far

GoodVillain · 11-19-2003, 09:03 PM

Yeah. One problem. I was reformating my harddrive so I move the source code safely to my schools student file server. The server went down due to network problems and has been offline for about 2 weeks. I cant get the source back till the server comes back up. I requested to the school if I can get my files back directly but they said since its not "important" I will have to wait for the server to go back up to get it. Lucky for me I know the server operator very well and I help him with his VB.NET homework for college so I think if I ask him he will glady give me access.
