Hey it would be cool to make an access database of all the commands and sysvars etc and then use VB to loop through the records and display them. It would make adding or changing commands much easier.

I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

Great!

Sounds cool  B)

Why not make one and the add the code to implement it to the 2.37.2 source code. If it works well then we can include it in the next release.

Is there some way I can find out the memory locations of all the sysvars?

[Edit]:
And also the help form has some registry code in it that isn't used locally... is it meant to be there?

Look in the root map of DB, it should be DarwinBotsII or something, a text file called sysvar.txt all the sysvars are listed with the memory location they corespond to.

There should be 182 sysvars, at least at my last count.

So I just want to say good luck with you project, but it is much needed! Maybe a database could be done here? A small program or something? I dunno.... Standalone, so you have access to it, without starting DB? Extensive help program! THIS WOULD BE VERY COOL, also from the newbies point of view, no more scary newbies  :boing:  :D

That is a very good idea! I have started filling out the database now. I am thinking of adding editable queries using SQL so you can search for variables by memory location or view all math operators etc.

I hate Access databases.  :(

I would rather do everything in Excel with a bunch of VBA macros.

:o Sacrilige! I have an obsession with making databases for pretty much everything lol. They are so neat and tidy! And they can be used for sooo many things.

That is just the way I feel about Excel.

Although I really just use the spreadsheets as a visual interface to get into the visual basic. I more or less just store numbers in the sheets and do all the data manipulations/input/output with userforms and VB code.

Simple.

To me the code makes more sense than any design time interface.

I hate to use toolboxes and stuff to do what can be done simply enough in code anyway. I have always been that way. I just like the way it flows in a logical fashion from the formatting code to the output screen.

I guess I just think in code more easily than I do in design time.
