Hi there, its snak3.
Ive been working on a remake of gsupport for around a month now, and things are starting to take shape. It is a command line app right now, and it has the function of reading the news, plus surfing directories. I am still working on recognizing whether a file is empty, or out of bounds... but that will come later, I would also like to make an uploading app as well, so it could be a fully fledged network of developers but first I would like to focus on downloading. I can't release it quite yet, as it still has a few bugs in it, but here are some screenies:







please tell me what you think This is my first real program, so keep the crit constructive

the old developer (warship45) made his version in darkbasic, for darkbasic. I intend to make it for darkbasic, but I'll use vb as thats what im most fluent in...

ok here is a preview version of gsupport... it isn't even alpha so don't be too dissappointed. Right now there are no files, so if you actually want to download something, when it asks you to name a file type in "files.rtf" and that will download the text file with the status of the dir.

** important **
you must - I repeat - you must extract gsupport main folder to C:\ in order for this to work... other wise you will get loads of errors... and it just plain wont work.

why? what made it unattractive? I can't see why people wouldn't want free media for they're games...

This is just temporary, as I didn't want to go that far into the code until I got some interest, which by the looks of things, I havent. So i might as well hang up my hat... unless someone is willing to disaggree...

Hmm, I like your use of MY, but there are other objects available in .Net

What you want is

System.Environment.GetLogicalDrives()

e.g.



That bit of code in English is saying

For Every item (named 'drive') In System.Environment.GetLogicalDrives()
{
Rem Do something with it
}

I haven't got my VB hat on, so it may be slightly different.

thanks john Y That really helped

[edit] I've ironed out some bugs with the gsupport newsreader (which i decided to treat as a standalone app as i had already made something like it and all it needed was a little adaption ) so here is the download just put it in the #your_drive/gsupport/newsreader/ folder It should work fine as long as you have a news.rtf file in #your_drive/gsupport

[edit *2] oh yeh and dont forget to delete all the files in #your_drive/gsupport/newsreader/ folder

Very rarely do you have to code things where it's one if after another. Especially with .Net, everything is usually in an array or arraylist.

I think the reason why people aren't posting as much is because, as a VB program, this really doesn't have any place here, being a DB forum. Looks neat, but this really should go in a VB forum.
