MHFU Guide Application

First topic message reminder :

Not sure how useful this will be for everyone (as in everyone plays MHTri) but I am making it anyways!

I am currently in development of a application that will display information about creatures, weapons, and quests. Possibly an item Database. It is being developed in C# It is actually being developed in Visual Basic now due to ease. I will release a beta when I complete the monster section for anyone interested :3

I am developing it as an alternative source to the MHwikia website. So people can easily access monster info without an internet connection

Wanna Help

Submit data with this template and post here on this topic if you are gonna code a creature, that way no one else does the same creature

Code is in the language VB/.NET

Code:

Public Class #MonsterName
    Public picString As String = "#MonsterName"

    'Carve Names - Like Rathalos ruby, Kut-ku scale, etc...
    Public lowCarves() As String = {"Low Rank Carve 1", "Low Rank Carve 2", "Low Rank Carve 3", "Etc..."}
    Public highCarves() As String = {"High Rank Carve 1", "High Rank Carve 2", "High Rank Carve 3", "Etc..."}
    Public GCarves() As String = {"G Rank Carve 1", "G Rank Carve 2", "G Rank Carve 3", "Etc..."}

    'Body Part - Like body carve, tail carve etc...
    Public lowPart() As String = {"Low Rank Carve 1 Carve Area", "Low Rank Carve 2 Carve Area", "Low Rank Carve 3 Carve Area", "Etc..."}
    Public highPart() As String = {"High Rank Carve 1 Carve Area", "High Rank Carve 2 Carve Area", "High Rank Carve 3 Carve Area", "Etc..."}
    Public GPart() As String = {"Low Rank Carve 1 Carve Area", "Low Rank Carve 2 Carve Area", "Low Rank Carve 3 Carve Area", "Etc..."}

    'Rates - the percentage of getting the carve, make sure the order of the numbers matches the corresponding carve in the array
    Public lowRates() As Integer = {37, 34, 18, 8, 3, 55, 45} 'so the first number would be low rank carve 1's chance and so on
    Public highRates() As Integer = {33, 25, 15, 12, 7, 5, 3, 40, 40, 20}
    Public GRates() As Integer = {33, 25, 15, 12, 7, 5, 40, 40, 20}

    'General Monster Info
    Public mInfo As String = "#MonsterName's description, I generally use the description given by MH Wiki"
End Class

Try to get as accurate data as possible replace any term with a # sign in front of it with the appropriate data, Here is a list of current monsters needing data.

Spoiler:

Wanna code a little better? Well nothing can replace experiance in code but you can use Notepad++ to help with the syntax, if you use NP++ be sure to set the language to VB

^this

sounds about right

/yes/

(Last post I will make before releasing the program)

I have uploaded an image on the first post of the new main menu screen. Other than that you should expect the program in about a weeks time.

EDIT:
I will now make updates through the first post

and... ABOUT TIME YOU SLACKER ;)

EDIT: eye gasm :0

I apologize for the long hiatus but I have been having extreme difficulties finishing up the beta -_-, I honestly have no idea when it will be finished >.<

np.... it works without internet right.. cause my parents are turning mine off forever...

yes it does, that is why it is taking so long, all information is hard coded

Why /versad/

cause they are jerks.... only problem is they didnt relize they told me their password so when they turned it off through parental settings it wasnt that hard to turn back on xD

I know it's maybe a little bit early, as version1 isn't even out yet. but as you are getting all your information from the wiki, I wanted to ask if you could include the G-rank carve rates that aren't in the wiki in Version 1.1/2.0 (however you gonna name it). I put a link in here where you can find all that:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/psp/943356-monster-hunter-freedom-unite/faqs/55031

Woah, I just saw this and no words can explain how happy i am O w O
keep up ze good work! /yes/

Why thank you ^^

This is going to turn out very nice and I will use it a lot :D
Thank you!

not sure if i should label this as an abandoned project lol I haven't touched it in months /: I still have the project laying around somewhere but idk if i should pick it up lol

added a download to the alpha 0.1 build I think i'll be starting back up on this project

hurry the motha truck up O.O jk lol

lol xD i'm working on it. I'll release updates every now and then. I'll soon make an updater to check the version and update the program automatically

what da folk! why did no one tell me it twas released! and neo this program doesnt happen to be malicious does it? cause my computer says it is

just Downloaded the Alpha-version. looks great. hope to get the next version soon.

PS: if you need help, like filling in the information for the monsters in a default formular (if something does exist)... I feel smart enough to do that and I have the time.

nice job so far dude. it would be nice if you could get rid of the scrolling laggy thing or whatever because it drives me crazy ._. but otherwise you are doin good
