Tontow's MapMaker Tool 2.0

[Tontow]

I'm still hammering the site out. 

[LigH]

It may be a bit unusual that there is a menu on the right side, but there are links like "Screen Shots" and "Download". Visible in Opera 10. Unfortunately, there seems to be no content yet. I guess Tontow is rebuilding the page at the moment.

Heh ... missed page 2 of this thread.

good to see I'm not the only one jumping the gun

[Tontow]

Downloads are up, I'm putting a few final touches on the site now.  I may add more but its up.

I'm debating on weather or not to do a version 3.0 of this....

Dose anyone even use it?

I am new here, and i am interested in using your program but i have one problem.

Input the Full name of your charater’s SYSTEM log IE: tontow_system.txt

Where is my system log?

It's the log of the game? I've looked arround in PS folder and i don't see it.

Can you please help me?

You would have to enable the logging of system messages first in your Chat options, because they can start to contain a lot of junk, especially if you are crafting or fighting. So I'd recommend to enable it not before starting your walk, and to disable it right after.

It will be in the same location as your chat log. Which depends on the operating system you are using. Under Windows, it is usually: "%APPDATA%\PlaneShift\logs" (you can type that in the Explorer's address line).

as a side note, I like to keep the .exe in the same folder as the system log and then make a short cut on my desktop to it.

I've tried using this but get a 'Run-time error 9. Subscript out of range' error as soon as I press the '/pos' shortcut key.

To make this app cross-platform in a simple way, I would recommend using the Mono stack. It have a good Visual Basic .NET implementation, works on Windows, Linux, OS X (and your app could be ported to Android and iOS lately). The only real new thing is a GTK# for the UI, but MonoDevelop / Xamarin Studio have a good visual designer, at least for C#-based projects.

Personally, I have very positive experience with Mono stack using C#. Examples of usefull programs: Tomboy Notes (note taking app), Tasque (simple planner), BlessHex (hexadecimal editor), Banshee (mediaplayer), Pinta (graphical editor), MonoDevelop IDE itself.
