I wish it could be 3D, but VB.net has its limitations (Funny that C# doesn't have as many and compiles to the same exe type through the translation). For now, I'm trying to make a Data Viewer (Which doesn't work in Kedge Keep without a height filter, the raid had promise too. Thank god for Shadowrest.).
My problem is this, I'm trying to get it to paint it once for zoom level and not for moving it around. I was thinking about using an Imagebox and storing the drawn map in memory and allowing the SQL markers to move with the map (Imagebox), which can be mouse moved. The concept is mind boggling, so much that I've kind of put it on a back burner while I get full item and mob lookup (Which is key to the SQL marks, after all the npc id tells didily squat and who wants to look it up over and over?)
On the flip side, the item desc now used HTML which means colors and tables. However all the added item info kills the load time which is now 1.8 seconds which is an eternity. I think it has to do with reading the spell tables. I figure, get the program finished then optimize
My goal this week is to make the program do most of what allakhazam does. Quest come later somehow :(
P.S. GD Giants drop crappy loot and have poor exp. May as well keep non-KOS faction.
