Question for all programmers. L00K NOT A CODING QUESTION

Post by TfAv1228 »

OK. I have done this, but i would like to get your opinion. A DLL(Dynamic Link Library for those whodont know) that you can use to load a map for basic programming with 1 line of code for .net (sorry VS6'rs).

Code: Select all

VB.net
Dim Map As H2.Load.MapStructure = H2.Load.Map(MapFileName)

C#.net
H2.Load.MapStructure Map = H2.Load.Map(MapFileName);

And of course i stuck in a fix encryption function

Code: Select all

VB.net
Dim encryption As Long = H2.Fix.Encryption(MapFileName)

C#.net
long encryption = H2.Fix.Encryption(MapFileName);
If/When i release it i will release a tutorial on how to use it
PM me if u want it pre-release

Hmmm... This is a good idea, mostly because it only loads a map, and signs a map. Then they have to do the rest themselfs. But honestly if you can't load a map by you're self, and you want to write an application, you need help. But I guess it will shut up all the noobs who want to learn how to open a map....

Anyway, good work.

wait modder4321 ur dll is .net 2005 which requires framework v2 alot of the modding community still uses framework v1 and may not be running an xp or an xp that is fast enough for framework 2 i could install v2 on my laptop but it goes slow as hell when i do so i dont and my main computer runs windows 98 which i prefer to xp because it is actually stable (+ i got the comp for free and it sucks to much to install xp ok and i can also make this dll in C++6 so vb6 and c++6 users can use it aswell

lol ur mb latest lol.. looke at Ch2r!!! rofl

*cough*

Anyways.. Its only a good idea if its done really well :p Personally.. I think it would be more helpful to create some programmer-friendly documentation on the map format (The White Paper), and let individual programmers handle the rest on their own as they need it. ;)

I don't consider HTML a programming language because it contains no loop or if statements.... But Java is alright for a beginner.

Anyway age doesn't matter. I've been programming since I was... I cant remember, but I know I was young. (9-ish I think... But it was only in BASIC which is like smashing you're face on a keyboard and writing a calculator, its that easy)
