Title: TOOL for planeshift : Quick Tweak !!!
Post by: Jefka on July 10, 2003, 09:49:27 pm: Well I\'m a french student, and I try to keep some programming training during holidays, especially in visual basic that I don\'t use much....

So it was just the good time to make a small quite simple tool in visual basic for Planeshift, which amazes me...

Moreover, most people don\'t know how to edit commands, change mouse sensivity, put in fullscreen...and that\'s what my small tool does !

So I suggest you download it if you want, and perhaps the developpers may put in on the main site if they enjoy it ; again, don\'t expect something wonderfull, but it works, that\'s enough !!!

Here\'s the thing ( 400 ko )

Unpack in Ps directory and follow the instruction

Thank you very much for putting the effort into creating this tool. This will make tweaking much more hassle-free for everyone. Good work!

Post by: Jefka on July 11, 2003, 05:11:59 pm: Thanks very much ; I hope it\'ll serve the community, especially beginners who certainly need some tweaking, like setting in fullscreen, or showing FPS, mousesensibility and so on

Don\'t hesitate to tell me what you think of it, and if I can improve this somehow

Post by: Jefka on July 11, 2003, 05:58:30 pm: well if you have a problem it would be better to tell which, so that I can help you ..................................

Post by: Wedge on July 12, 2003, 01:18:46 am: Worked fine for me, but do you plan on adding to it? I\'m pretty sure that it\'s possible to deactivate the rain and I think that would be a useful option since it hurts the framerate and isn\'t relevant to gameplay right now. That would be a nice option to add. I don\'t know how you do it but I\'m sure someone here does.

Post by: Kluger on July 12, 2003, 02:20:46 am: cool Jefka...but, um, I use Linux. (apparently, I\'m part of a tiny minority, hehe) do you have some ANSI sourcecode? I use Linux, and I could try compiling it...

Post by: Monketh on July 12, 2003, 04:12:34 am: hmm... \"run-time error \'5\' invalid procedure call or argument\"
I have win xp,

Post by: Jefka on July 12, 2003, 12:37:28 pm: error 5 happens if you click twice on a button, not once

BTW after chages you have to clik apply and quit the program

Eh sorry for linux this is visual basic ; I can publish the source code if you can translate it to C however ; I\'ll be away this week end but when I\'m back i\'ll do it

Post by: Jefka on July 12, 2003, 01:12:03 pm: I forgot : for the rain, as for as I know it is synchronized on the server : when it rains for one, it rains for every players; so the sky colour and lightning, well I don\'t think i\'ll change it, anyway it\'s not this that is making that lag ; so on the contrary I will look how to stop the rain drops from falling, because this is the problem

well i\'m just looking at the files and ...I found how to make the rain drops react as snow...so if we change the texture of the rain drop it\'ll really looks like snow ; this will be put in the program later on i think, it\'s fun

But to stop the rain, I really can\'t figure out right now ; I\'ll keep you informed of what I find

Post by: Monketh on July 12, 2003, 02:09:48 pm: No, unfortunately I mean it won\'t start. Am I missing some files needed to run vb programs?
Title:
Post by: eL_Qadsawi on July 12, 2003, 02:19:15 pm: Well its good to see that your are supporting the linux community ....

Sure will pick up the source code and do some translatting ....

Thanks Man .... Really appreciated ....

Take care and carry on programming...

Post by: Jefka on July 12, 2003, 04:37:54 pm: monketh, if it won\'t sart I mean , read the instructions : copy the vb6fr.dll into windows\\system32 ;
Title:
Post by: Moogie on July 12, 2003, 06:45:08 pm: System32, are you sure? All the system files are located in System. That\'s where I put the vb6fr.dll anyway.

Also you may need MSVBVM60.dll, which can be downloaded here (http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvbvm60) . Put this file in windows/system aswell and you should be able to run the program.

Post by: Kluger on July 14, 2003, 07:02:14 am: sorry it took me so long to reply. I\'ve been away for the weekend...

well, I can compile the Visual BASIC code. there are plenty of VB, OB, and PB compilers for Linux. I *thought* some came with Red Hat 8.0, but I may be wrong...

of course, I always like checking over the code when changing architectures anyway. just trying to compile won\'t be well optimized...

Post by: Monketh on July 15, 2003, 06:12:37 pm: Thanks moogie,
But it still won\'t go :(
must be my win xp

Post by: Talad on July 15, 2003, 06:48:32 pm: I tried the tool, just to see what\'s in it, but it fails with this error:

Run-time error \'5\':
Invalid procedure call or argument

I have Win2000, all the dlls mentioned above.

Post by: Wedge on July 16, 2003, 01:54:34 am: Am I the only person in the world that runs this perfectly fine? I\'m running in on WinXP and have the VB 6.0 Runtimes on and it works. Although it did seem to make the bounding boxes of the sprites on the title screen become visible, although I haven\'t really checked if it\'s a specific option that does that or what.

Post by: Vendiria on July 16, 2003, 10:41:44 am: I have not played the game yet (still downloading it) but if you want help to \"translate\" this software to linux send me a PM :))

Post by: Jefka on July 17, 2003, 11:45:34 pm: Ok i\'ll give the source soon as I said, but I am working during my summer holiday so until this week end it\'ll be hard ; i\'ll add commentaries and so on to undertand it easier
