1) Mob statistical profiling

2) Vendor and Tradebot scanning


Personally wouldn't care if these ever made it back in...

With ground scanning the pluggin would be complete as far as I ever use it.


Thanx for taking the time to bring this wonderful Pluggin Back to Us Faile.

Update on the status:


As of yesterday morning BS2 was requesting IDs and scanning everything. Last night I brought all the helper VB6 code that does evaluations, view handling, saving/load profiles, etc. Now its sitting on 10,000 compile errors. When those errors are fixed, I will be able to say that Im 70% complete.

Sure am looking forward to this, Faile, and thanks for all your hard work. IMHO this was always hands-down the best tracking plugin available.

Man I've done those vb6 to .net converts a few times now and it usually makes my hands ache. It's so tedious. These days I usually prefer to reimplement functions one at a time by hand. You think it takes longer but I find generally you get cleaner code in the end and it is a little faster overall. Of course I suppose it would depend on how messy your vb6 code is. Good luck. If you want help (and are willing to send out chunks of code) send me a pm.

I agree Kyuzo... When I converted ACDualClient, I started with a dump and then went from there.. I soon realized that it would actually be a lot quicker and easier to just start from the bottom up again... get my foundation built, then convert functions over AS NEEDED... I realized that I had a lot of functions I didn't even need anymore, and I cleaned up a LOT of my code.. something that wouldn't have happened with a normal dump.


I have learned a lot about programming and my programming style since my initial versions of ACDualClient, and I was able to use that in the re-write to clean up the code and fix a lot of mistakes I made in the past. A lot of the old code was based on samples from things online and things I had found other places... now that I actually REALLY understand what was going on, I was able to fix it and clean it up to work in .NET and work efficiently.
