Good tutorial, but what if we just wanted to load a singular tag? Like say, just bipd?

then just change the loop so it loops till it finds it

yes but alot of converting and its not very good

you could probably make your own to do the same thing but better

You Don't need to convert anything. You just need to decare variables and your good to go!

i know this topic is a few months old, but could someone please tell me how to get the actual tag names? like vehicle/warthog (you get the point)

I Know A Lot Of People Use Visual Basic 2005 (Express Edition)
I Converted The Codes From VB6 To The Newer Version
( I Have Only Finished The First Little Bit So I Will Edit The More I Find Out)

Code: Select all

Dim ByteArray() As Byte
            Dim FileName As String
            Dim SizeOfFile As Integer
            Fno = FreeFile()
            FileOpen(Fno, "C:\Zanzibar.map", OpenMode.Binary)
            SizeOfFile = LOF(Fno)
            ReDim ByteArray(SizeOfFile - 1)
            FileGet(Fno, ByteArray)
            FileClose(Fno)

I Think Its Correct

The Fno doesnt work because it says it needs to be declared
you could try

Code: Select all

Dim Fno

i think it should work

Please don't bump old topics, although I'm not sure it even really matters or applies in this section. But, there are wayy better tutorials for VB.Net, newer ones, I'd check out anthonys tuts if you want to load a map. Again, this was originally for VB6 so search around for the newer tuts.
