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

(8/14/2012)
Added a download link to the alpha build enjoy

(3/26/2012)
I have been in a long hiatus due to programming complications and schooling. So I am back to working on it and will hopefully have a beta soon

(2/27/2012)

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

If you think you can do it, in my opinion that will be the number 1 best feature of the application. How far are you going to take this? for example, will we be able to select a few skills that we want implemented and then the armour set generator will pick out the best matches in armour, plus the gems needed to activate the skills?

The selecting of the armor pieces manually and it keeps tally of all the skills will be the first, the whole selecting a set of skills then It chooses an armor for you will probably be a later release

yyyeeeeeeeeessssssssss i neeeeedddddd this cause athenas ass lied to meh /versad/

danny its like this except for unite instead of tri

First things first, I gotta finish the monster database first then I can work on extra program features like the armor simulator

Hmm... if you had an actual program to study, could you devise a way to code it yourself?

There is an amazing armor simulator called Athena's armor set simulator. It lets you search for armor combinations by skills rather than throwing together armor to see what works.

It also shows gems needed and allows you to sort by defense, difficulty (idk... difficulty to obtain?), slots spare, rarity, and all the resistances, as well as settings for your current level in the game in both guild and village.

I could probably analyze one and figure it out but that's the thing, Isn't Athena's a web based armor simulator? Coding capabilities may differ with VB.NET(What I am currently programming it in)

dont ever say that again. it gave me a set and 4 hours and alot of materials later the set doesnt even work.

Funny enough it worked perfectly every time for me...

I also never had a problem with AASS. maybe you missunderstood it.

nope it said somehow this is possible:

lolz...

no wonder. you searched for a ranged skill on blademaster armor.
but if you but both auto reload gems on the mail it should work. so if you find a gunner plate with 2 elementatk skill points it should work.

umm i did 0.0 idk how to change it.... and the conga s mail is pointless cause it doesnt have autorelod or element up points...

EDIT okay so it is my fault just figured out how to switch it to gunner armour. damnit xD

Power of Awkwardness... Activate! Sorry couldn't resist. This is a new discovery for me though and I'm sure it'll tide me over until vers. 1.0 of the OP's app is released. /yes/

lol i feel stupuid

very close to beta 0.1 being released. But I just went through a breakup and im not much in the programmin' mood right now -.-

I guess I could try to program to take my mind off of things
