Useful RuneScape Functions

So I know here at Sythe you have this rule about posting project files, but the only way for some people to learn, is to see it.
I've been sick so I quickly whipped together a RuneScape client for the beginners to learn from. It wasn't made out to look pretty, just to work.
Uses a ListView for worlds, and loads all directly from RuneScape.com at runtime.
I've used only 1 INet for the whole project, which takes roughly 3 seconds to load, but I wouldn't do this if you chose to use some of this in a project.

Functions/Subs included:
switchFrame
getWorldInfo
getType
getLocation
getHighscores
getRSNews
getBestWorld
getTotalPlayers

It uses quite little amounts of code compared to other functions I've seen, like a whole class file for highscores lookup.

I tried to keep the code as readable and clean as possible, but I wrote it fast so try to bare through if you disapprove of it.

Don't ask for a scan picture because this is source code. No pussying out here, you can just look through the code yourself.

 

Everything works.. Expect 304930593059034590 downloads LOL.

 

Lol that'd be nice.
Thanks

-Mh

 

Error during load refer to form1.log or something =/

 

Holy shite...

 

Don't work for me... got only the nice screen from the project1 but cant see the forms or somehting...

 

Very nice code,1 error though =/ im trying to fix it atm =p

 

"Error_loader_crash - The program has crashed whilst loading.
RuneScape has encountered a problem and cannot continue loading.
You may able to resolve this by upgrading to a newer version of java by going to www.java.com and downloading and installing the latest version from there.

If problems persist then please refer to our technical FAQ which can be found in the FAQ section of our website.

uhhh, what the problem is?

I have an updated java platform, the thing compiled flawlessly, it loads the runescape applet, says "checking or updates" in the little runescape loading bar, then blam, error message ^^^

 

I fail to see that has anything to do with what this thread is about, or anything VB related at all... So, unless it doesn't, maybe you should find the right Forum. -.-

 

Umm it has to do with this thread because the client is pulling this error everytime, and FF isn't, any idea what the problem is Monster Hack?

 

I've had the same error don't feel bad. It is merely the way that the StealRS2 in this one works. It takes the runescape applet and loads it into the webbrowser and it takes away everything else. Well the easiest way to put it is. Runescape doesn't like it, so it dies.

 

If you're using Vista i know what the problem is.

 

Sorry covey, i'm using the good 'ol' XP. Anyways thanks for the help, other than steal RS this client is good for beginners, shows the basic layout, good job!

 

Nice,
I love it! :love:

I going use it in my Programe THX !

 

Updated this old thing.
There is no longer GetTotalPlayers sadly

 

You could always calculate that by taking the sum of players from each server.

 

That's actually a pretty good idea...
Thanks!

 

There is no longer a total hmm? what is this?

 

New since yesterday I'd figure.
The older version of getTotalPlayers still works, but it wasn't yesterday because the text didn't exist. Thus the newest one is born, which I like more.

 

um... It used to work for me but not it does not.
I don't know why... I downloaded a few times but still it did not work. Is this problem following to anyone else?
