Little idea

Hey all,

Its prob been suggested already, I just havent seen it.. How about using the "?" in the bottom left of your Conquer screen to provide links to various guides in epvpers ? maybe you could do it so if you go to a certain area, say Ape city map, and the question mark could blink, giving you a guide to titan/ganoderma, or if you go to metzone it could provide you with a link to the metzone map threads ? if your in tc it could tell you not to listen to anyones socket ideas ;) sadly I'm no programmer, but it would be a nice little tool if someone could do it.

actually, its not such a bad idea, but it prolly couldnt change based on what map your in. I would rather have it in a "help" function, which isnt hard to do.

easy text box code... just have the button open a text box, inside the text box have the nice info (can copy/paste content or depending on your proggy you can have the text box be a web viewer that just opens page... but that my cause some lag for pplz) :)

EDITTED. Sorry for the double post, on my first post I got an odd flood control message and just backspaced and posted.

Err, wha?
Open a new textbox..??
You feel like explaining it a bit better, because I dont get it at all :S

Why open new textboxes and such jibberish when all you could do is edit in "Tips.ini" to whatever you want it to say, and voila.
How to get it flash for corresponding "tip - map" is a bit harder but Im sure it's possible.

Great idea/.

Well if it were part of a bot... I thought that might be easier because not everyone is comfortable with editing the game files. Also if it's an external proggy, the proggy can read where you are to correspond to the info you'd like. (for map related info, just read the mapID)

The exact line of code i refer to is when you press a button, it opens a message box, or a box containing text... in this case the text is the tips you want... just one way of doing it, i did think of yours, i was just thinking of keeping it external for mass distribution and you can make it more complex.

i hope that cleared it up. if not, i'll try to reword it :)

Now that cleared up alot more, gj.
I thought of it aswell, something similar to reading mapid, or hell it is actually simple memory reading.
It's also possible via editing in some of the .ini files, im sure of it. Just make it flash at every map and that's it.

But yeah, your way is a bit more complex but also gives you more to work with I guess.
I like to keep it simple :cool:

off to schoolz now, bai;_;

ok good i'm glad i could clear it up.

and yeah... i prefer more working room. also, if you use VB 2005, all the background coding is done for you... so simple can be done :)

again, glad to clear it up for you. have fun at school.
