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

(2/27/2012)
:chag:
This is the result of 6 straight hours of programming

Spoiler:

wow...a nice project...anything i can do to help? such as data entry or anything easy to help..just let me know..i have a lot of free time next week :D

Thanks

Development has been a little slow because I have been working on my website recently, as you probably have seen blackice I no longer have the forums. I'm working on making it an actual website. I will be hosting my videos, flash. and my programs on there. It's almost done.

BUT I am still working diligently on the application. So don't worry I am still working on it I didn't just die off haha. or did I O.O

are you dead??? 0.0 jk lol

who the folk gave the original post a minus?!

probably someone who was pissed that the program isn't out yet or something haha

who ever it is needs to die.

thats too rational, whoever it is needs to have their marrow sucked from their bones and forced to listen to Justin Bieber haha

or have the marrow sucked out of thier bones by justin beiber /scar/ while his mom sucks the marrow out of my bone :evil:

Giggity

ikr :D

Keep up the good work there mate. Its really uplifting to still see people working on increasing the accessibility of the monster hunter games, esp. someone from the West . BTW, don't worry about us getting impatient, I'm keeping busy trying to work myself through HR8 with my trusty Shadow of the Moon. Good Luck anyway mate, sorry I can't really help but your clearly way out of my league /yes/ .

EDIT: Just realised my use of the word 'mate' reminded me of Trenya... damn you Speech>Text mental conversion!!

im impatient! if you dont finish in 3 hours from this post im gonna capture you put u in my trunk and drive you to Canada where you will die cause its Canada!!!!! ;)

Calm down blackice :P I'm working on it as hard as I can but keep in mind I have other projects as well. I have videos I work on for my youtube channel, im still developing my website. Plus I just started up classes again so i'll have even less time to work on it, but I'll work my hardest

I was kidding lol xD

then how do you explain me blacking out and ending up in Canada somehow?

What about their hitzone?

a hitzone cahrt. to find their weakspots.

like the ones here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/psp/943356-monster-hunter-freedom-unite/faqs/53339

Hmm, I could simply state where the monster is weakest to for slice/impact weapons? I'm trying to make it simple as can be so I could do all the calculations then put them up as the monsters weakest spots are?

back to topic:
are you planning to build in an armor set generator? that would be really great because I wouldn't need to work with 3 different programms/websides and the game to make a new armor set

I know this is from a while ago but that's not a bad idea. Have you select the armor pieces and gems then have it keep a tally of all your stats automatically and also tell you the definitions of the skills. goin in :P
