Implement ManiaLinks in VisualBasic-Software?

Post by Florenzius »

Hey there,

I'm testing VisualBasic a bit and made some things already. Just watch my german tutorial "how to make a tmt-troll". I had the idea to create a ManiaLink-Viewer. I just wanted to open a manialink (interface of it) with a visual-basic-form. So i uploaded my seaside-interface-xml-file to my webhost and had the adress. But does anyone know hot to implement the xml-file into the form and does it work? Or have I to include the maniaPlanet textures in the resources-file?

Thanks in advance,
Florenzius

sorry but I was my idea,
and you said: "you can´t (I can´t) do it because nadeo doen´t allow it" :roflol:

but I like the idea :thumbsup: ,so nevermind ;)


my tip:
-you should try to implement the manialink language into the code
Did I said, nadeo has forbidden it to me? :|

No, I didn't.

And the "language" is XML. And i can't implement it

How the guys from tmladder got it to make a ml-viewer? It's hard, but to do it ONLINE is harder, but they used html and i don't have any html-knowledge. I found a manialink, that works and the ml is showed. It's not the most beautiful manialink but it works.

Here a picture: http://i.imgur.com/AeY2raD.png

So it must be possible in visual basic. I just included the (for example) xml-file from trackmania lake but how to include it in an empty windows form? And the second problem will be: In the xml-file are many names of the ManiaPlanet-textures. But it's only the xml, so if it's in a form no later than then must be an error, because many resources are missing.

So, how they got them? I don't know who made this, but maybe he's on the forum here...

If anyone can help, please write it :thx:

Best regards,

The best and fastest way to only view a local stored ManiaLink XML file is to use the ManiaPlanet game client itself.
Simply enter the path to the XML file into the ManiaPlanet address bar in the following form:

Code: Select all

file://Media\Manialinks\MyManialink.xml

Thanks for the answer, but the idea was, to view manialinks without maniaplanet in a software. Do you think it's possible?

It is possible. Search for Manialink Designer and Manialinks Editor, two WYSIWIG Manialink editors for TM1 as further examples.

But such a project needs a lot of planning. You need to consider how to implement the xml elements, how to translate the coordinate system, implement the layers, support style sheets and so on.
