If that doesn't solve your problem, then give me an email. I'll try to help. I didn't distribute the program as an installer with all the support files because I'm just a lazy bastard. :) It's possible that you'll need to get a copy of that ocx and put it in your windows/system directory (or...

Most programming issues that I've seen people complain about (here and elsewhere) have nothing to do with the programmers. They are marketing and business decisions. When a video game is released that is full of bugs, I would guess that it rarely has much to do with the quality of the...

Doh! I forgot to mention, you can either post the file back up here, or email it to me at towngen@yahoo.com Thanks!

Gamers, Attached is the prototype of a file that I plan to use for my town generator program. Being rather unfamiliar with FRCS, I would like someone who is familiar with the pantheon it uses to help fill out the necessary information. I would also like some more input on the standard...

Thanks for the compliment! The more ideas the better! :) Step 6 was an oversight. I will probably make the app show up as a single entry on the task bar, but I didn't feel messing with that until I got further along. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one that thinks people that...

For those of you that don't look at the software forum very often and might be interested, I've just posted a new beta version of my Town Generator program. Thanks! Walter

Well, I've been really busy at work so I haven't had a lot of time to work on this. This new beta version should have most of the GUI complaints addressed from the first release. I'd love to hear any comments, criticisms, complaints, rants, or whatever related to this program. Feel free to...

Do they work underwater?

fdisk Just kidding :) Go to www.altavista.com and type MSISAM11.DLL and click search. There are several FAQ sheets in the results. I didn't go read them. But hopefully they will help you. Whenever you get a weird problem like this, almost always, someone else has already had it and found...

hehe... GUILDNAME:Punk-asses That's definately going in the generator! :) Cool. Thanks for the tips/advice! Give me a bit to digest this and think some. I gotta figure out how this is going to fit in with my ideas about other stuff in the actual generator part of the program. Walter

hehe... It's so funny to me that I spent hours tweaking around with probability distribution curves to get the randomize to do what I wanted and ZERO time on minor simplistic user interface stuff. Ok, Ok, I hear everyone. Fix the minor GUI stuff then we can comment on the contents ... Oh...

I'm just bumping this thread in hopes of getting a few more reponses on the poll. :) Thanks again everyone that has commented on my first run GUI. Walter

JAVA?!?! Uggg... :) Actually, I considered doing it with MFC in C++ instead of VB, but the extra development time wasn't worth the extra control. In reality, I spend most of my time programming in LabVIEW at work, but that language is REALLY not suited for this kind of application...

Thanks all for the helpful comments! There is a front to back progression in the screens. Certain things depend on other things. Such as: I can't decide how many churches and what alignments they are until you pass the second screen. Because until you do, I don't know if its a village or...

As for mastermind's question on would it include huge cities... Yes. The slider for town size on a metropolis currently pegs out at 200k. To me that's pretty dang huge! I know there is a 1 million city in FRCS, but I'm not worrying about such absurdities just yet ... Information overload...

Thanks so much for all the responses! The link Olive sent is really nice too, you guys ought to check that out if you haven't already. When I didn't get any reponses to my original post, I figured it would be for 1 of 4 reasons: 1) The GUI I posted sucked so bad it wasn't worth a comment. 2)...

About a week ago I posted a beta version of the GUI for a new town generator I am making in the Software forum. Since I haven't gotten even a single response, I am wondering if perhaps not very many people like playing in a the town setting.

The attached file is a zip containing a beta version of my new town generator program. This version contains the GUI only! It does not actually output anything yet. I am posting this in hopes of getting some intelligent feedback on the GUI. If you are interested in a program that will...
