setting panel prototype

alphaex32 · 01-19-2002, 12:46 PM

hi, I was looking at some of the settings panel ideas in the settings panel poll and decided to make one myself. To download it, use the link: http://zimdoom0.tripod.com/settings.htm

I think the biggest problem with it is its file size because of all the graphics, so something like this would probably not be used.
You might notice that the program loads all of your settings. I did this by saving them in an INI file called aquasetup.ini in the windows folder. There are probably some problems with it, so post any suggestions (I realize that the autoscroll thing on the first settings page doesnt work). Hint: you can make all of the fish slots random by double clicking on the random fish icon. Btw...I made this using a program called multimedia fusion by clickteam (www.clickteam.com). Tell me what you think!

None of us can download that file.

Since Tripod sucks, you're going to have to create a website with a link to download that file and put it up on your site.

ok, click on the link...you can download the file there

Once I renamed the DLL from Cncs32.dll to Cncs232.dll, I got it working.

That's darn skippy. I am afraid to ask how much work that was!!

Hopefully Prolific will do a Settings panel like this one day. The only real problem I found was no way to clear out a fish slot once you've put a fish into it. Also, there will probably be 10 fish slots and 4 special creature slots.

Good work!

sorry about the dll thing...you can clear a fish out of the slot by right clicking on it. And as for how much work it was....I finished it in about 2 days.

I downloaded it right away the first time. I made a link for it in my start menu along with the fish guide I saved to my computer too. I think it's great. I keep playing with it just messing around. Nice Job!!
