    Just this summer, I started to learn Visual Basic and stuff (sorry if this is gonna be in the wrong forum), then I hated to see that I always have to go the Wiki and stuff to find common things (like specs, materials, etc. nevermind the tuts)


    So, I decided to make a Program that would be a compilation of the things in Wiki for easy access. (That's because of my darn internet connection) Please test it out and pm me about your comments or post it here.



    NOTE: This is still a prototype.

    For now, there will be no Tutorials included in the Program. Once, I have finished the main stuff, I will put in the tutorials.


    Please test it!


    EDIT: THE TRICKS doesn't work out yet. As I said Prototype. And also, I'm still up to the ARMX

    Tricks doesn't work?

    Anyway, this seems stupid. I can click 'wiki' and then 'pen mods' or I can click on your program and then pen mods. It isn't helping me out in the slightest. The wiki however, is searchable and far more comprehensive. It also doesn't require anything to be downloaded.

    Perhaps you should put your VB knowledge to use in creating a pen spinning game? There was a thread about that a while ago in off topic. I'm sure you can find it by searching.1

    too bad for me. IT was already about 13 forms and stuff....



    Anyways, thanks for the suggestion.

    yea i think it's got limited use but if you don't have internet then its useful, although you can also download a dump of the wiki

    good job anyway

    I think the downloading of the dump of the wiki may take much longer compared to downloading a 300kb full guide of the Wiki, you know.

    once you start adding pictures to your guide it'll increase teh size a lot.
