View Full Version : Learning Visual Basic... I made a nice tool for everyone
nico2001 02-01-2003, 05:09:AM I made a tool that maybe will be very usefull for all. It's called Raptor Selector and it allows you to open every raptor tool you have installed in your PC, so that you don't need to have too much icons in your desktops.. But it's better to see it than explain it so soon I'll tell you where to get it so that you try it
:)
Hercules 02-01-2003, 05:27:AM A Raptor Raptor, I don't believe it.:rolleyes:
Good job.
P.S. How long have you started learning VB?
nico2001 02-01-2003, 05:33:AM I don't know... 3 days.... 4... I don't remember..
but today I descoverd some bugs that I have to fix
Hercules 02-01-2003, 05:59:AM Look forward to seeing more utilities from you!
P.S. It's great to see you do the same as me, learn from making!;) BTW, do you have previous programming experience?
TODO-FIFA 02-01-2003, 06:10:AM Just what i need . He he , nice Nico.:)
I have also started doing some stuff in vb, stupid programs..but i am sure i will become a better programmer.:D
saurabh 02-01-2003, 04:31:PM Do you know Slovenac------Hrvoje already created this type of utility at his site:p
Hercules 02-01-2003, 08:34:PM Who needs Hrvoje?:rolleyes:
Programming is my second favourite hobby, after Fifa Editing. And for maximum enjoyment, I always mix the 2 together, Programming to edit FIFA!;)
nico2001 04-01-2003, 05:19:AM hercules: I don't have any previous experience. and I need some time to learn more.. maybe you could contact me by icq or msn and we could talk more about it... :)
hmm..finally someone with the same hobbies as me..programming and editing..
i've been programming for about 3 months now...i program with C++ though.. ..made some nice programs..and usefull....but none for FIFA 2003 yet..
nico2001 04-01-2003, 05:35:AM until now the tool only worksfor the people who installed FIFA 2003 in the following folders:
c:/archivos de programa/EA SPORTS/FIFA2003 (spanish version of the game)
c:/program files/EA SPORTS/FIFA2003
do you think I should publish it as it works now or wait until it works with every FIFA directory? (I mean wherever you installed it)
nico2001 04-01-2003, 05:42:AM this is the how it looks
ssorry for the bad quality of the picture..

Hercules 04-01-2003, 05:55:AM You can contact me by:
MSN: herculeszeus@hotmail.com
ICQ: 168437945
(if you can catch me ;) )
Mail: fifadata@yahoo.co.uk (easier to catch me ;) )
Your utility look much better graphically than any of mine, kinda obvious, due to my abysmal graphics skills :rolleyes:
I personally think you should wait till you fix the problem of the utility using absolute paths before releasing it (to avoid some idiots shouting why it doesn't work on their com....which could get very annoying ;) )
You can solve the problem easily if you simply make the install path of your utility to .\FIFA 2003\data\ (i.e. the user MUST install your utility into this path). Then, you can simply call each raptor by relative path e.g.
adboard raptor = "adimporter.exe"
kit raptor ="kitraptor.exe"
ballraptor="ballraptor.exe"
Very simply fix!
Another fix (err...less easy) is to read from the registry where FIFA is installed. Highly discouraged for a beginner!!!
One word of advice: Always use relative paths, instead of absolute paths, unless while testing.
And GH02, I also had a week or two's experience on C++, it was rather tedious, as the syntax was less easy to understand, however, I have to admit it is very similar to Java, which is useful to me. I use C++ mainly for console apps.
Programming and FIFA editing forever.:)
yea..i have a C++ programming book..tells u pretty much everything u need to know about C++ in easy language...some 500 full size text book pages..
Hercules 04-01-2003, 06:42:AM hehe, I learnt C++ the real programmer's way. Do it yourself! (only because I can't find a decent book at the library..... ;) )
hahhaha...u learned by trial and error?...omg..u are missing sooo much..the book goes over every little detail and so informative...everything is useful...if u need any help...e-mail me or something and i'll be glad to help u on any topic of C++
Hercules 04-01-2003, 07:00:AM well, it's mostly trial and error, but I do have quite a bit of knowledge in Java, which is very similar to C++
:mrpimp:
nico2001 04-01-2003, 08:20:AM thanks to Hercules my tools is almost finished.
thanks for helping me with the codes!
tomorrow i'll tell you where to download it
nico2001 04-01-2003, 09:12:AM the tool is finished. Now some guys are testing it and if verything's fine I'll publish it a.s.a.p
This awesome tool is available now!!! Get it from FIFArgentina (http://fifargentina.iespana.es) So, go get it now from FIFArgentina, and get rid of all those raptor icons, by just having one icon!:D (H)
nico2001 05-01-2003, 06:03:AM thanks andy!
