Hey everyone, I am in the middle of making a mod maker for tribes2. I am doing it with Microsoft Visual Basics(I tried C++ but its too hard). I got done all the "Forms" and just need to edit it to make it insert the "mod" code. It will hopefully be done within 3 weeks. Just wanted everyone to know!!!

I have just added the edit window, and the load and save windows are not hooked up yet. I will post a version that you can check out... It will not put any code into a mod, it will just let you see kinda what its like. Thanks

When you get a working version, make sure that you run some sample code output through a syntax checker before you release it.

Ok "na85". For "Geno", Well i am just using a bunch of regular "Forms". I am kinda new to VB, but it is working pretty well so far. I have everything set up cept for what button enters what code... I will be emailing a "Modder" soon asking about that(i know nothing about modding). I will ask my dad if i can compile it tonight and post it on a FTP site so you can take a look. Thats all!

Toolbar's work in cahoots with the ImageList control.
If you view the Toolbar's properties, you will see on the "General" tab, it allows you to set a specific ImageList Control to that Toolbar, enabling Icons/Graphics to be used on each individual button on a Toolbar. If you click the "Buttons" tab, you can add each button individual, and for each button you have to assign a "Key" Property, as you will see an empty field next to the word 'Key:'. "Key" allows you to set an indentifier for that exact button, easiest way is to letter them a-z (ie: First button is 'a', second button is 'b', third is 'c' etc.) through however many buttons you use. By doing this, you give Visual Basic a way to identify each button as individual. Now, how to code each individual button. Double Click on the Toolbar on your Form, and you open up your Code Window. Your Function should look something like:
Private Sub Toolbar1_ButtonClick(ByVal Button As MSComctlLib.Button)
End Sub
(This is off my head, it may vary)
Start by simply typing the word "Button." in the Function. You should receive your available Properties in a list. Scroll down to "Key" in that list. By adding the code Button.Key, you've now just allowed Visual Basic to give you the Key Value of the button pushed. What I mean, is when you press the button that we assigned to "b", the "button.key" code filled in will have the value "b". Now, how to track each individual button used:
Private Sub Toolbar1_ButtonClick(ByVal Button As MSComctlLib.Button)
Select Case Button.Key
Case "a" 'this represents: If button assigned to 'a' pressed.
Msgbox "You pressed the first button"
Case "b" 'this represents: If button assigned to 'b' pressed.
Msgbox "You pressed the second button"
Case "c" 'this represents: If button assigned to 'c' pressed.
Msgbox "You pressed the third button"
End Select
End Sub
I hope you've learned Select Case Routine, is much more rounded and fast than using tons of 'If Then' Statements.
If you need more help, or need me to send you some example code, I can throw some together quick for you. Let me know.

Now... I am trying to use a regular command button for making an armor. When you click it i want the script to work, but i also want it to update a rich text box with spaces between armors. Like this:
Scout
Assault
Heavy
I can get it to update but not like that... Thanks

RichTextBox's work almost like an HTML webpage. Everything has to be formatted, but in Visual Basics code. In order to enter new lines into RTB's, you need to use either Chr(13), vbNewLine or vbCrLf. Something like:
RichTextBox1.Text = "Geno " & Chr(13) & "Little Pike " & Chr(13) & "Nate."

Hey, I mean it updates to that. Like they click New Weapon. Then it puts that in the Rich Text Box. And when they do it again it just adds another line down.... Thanks but that was not quite what i needed.

RichTextBox1.Text = "Geno"
... will take everything out and just say "Geno".
RichTextBox1.Text = RichTextBox1.Text & "Geno"
... will take the current contents of RichTextBox1 and add 'Geno' to the bottom.
RichTextBox1.Text = ""
... will clear the RichTextBox1 entirely.

Just add two Return Functions (Chr(13), vbNewLine or vbCrLF)
RichTextBox1.Text = "Geno " & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & "Pike"
