I presume Java has already been ruled out?

Not to be a bastard about it, but If someone writes a program in Java, I'm sure I would use it. mcmackie and the guy who wrote the Shop simply knew how to write VB code, and they have given hundreds if not thousands of hours of their time to make these programs for us to use. I don't think anyone has ruled out using any language to write these programs, they are just not being written.

VB is not my choice of language either, but since I'm not willing to put in the time to rewrite it in my own language of choice, I won't complain. It does suck for those non-windows users out there, though.

PS: If someone is willing to pay me, I will rewrite this program in whichever language you choose.

Dats are coming along nicely. Sometimes I wish I were unemployed so I could finish off projects like this.

The dat effort isn't dead though.

You never did email me... If you need help, I can probably still help some.

That's weird, I distinctly remember PMing you back... I'll try again, let me know if it works.

Where are you at on the DAT? What do you want me to do?

I have absolutely no coding knowledge, but I'm very intersted in a Shop R3 release. So if you only need people to put Rigger3 datas in .DAT files, I'm your man! Just tell me what and how

Come Nov 8 this will be in full swing again. If your interested, PM me.

Cool! Thanks, Looking forward to it.

Up !

Sorry, aforementionned free time on my part has evaporated... don't count on me

I'd be glad to contribute some of my free time to converting dat files.

Things are still moving slowly but getting there. Found the R3 to R3R conversion guide so going through that at the moment. Powerplants almost done.

Great! Happy to read that

Let me know how far you are and what still needs to be done, I'll have a whackload of free time in a week and a half (finals are over then) so I could probably get all the stuff out of the way that was handed to me. Nothing like sitting in front of the christmas tree programming on a laptop with wireless. mwah.
Once this project is finished we should have a more or less complete suite of programs for SR3. I've noticed a spell generator, from somewhere, an old (not sure if it is complete) gun generator, the character generator, the cyberware thingy and the cranial cyberdeck calculator. All that's left is a standard cyberdeck calc (i'm not sure if there is one) and that is it. Good work everyone!

Just out of curiosity... what's the status on the shop?

Slowly but surely coming along. It would have been done by now but I've spent the last two weeks in New Caledonia.

Hey let me and 3278 know when this is ready to roll. He may even be intrested in helping.

- Could you give me permission (and dat files) to translate shop into polish? (EDIT: mail: mattness<at>op.pl )
- And when we can see beta / release version?
- Any web page of the project?

Sounds good, looking forward to seeing the shop hit the light of day. It'll be super useful... no more long hours building, tweaking and rebuilding vehicles! whee!

I just stumbled across this project. It sounds cool. I loved the Shop for second edition, and would love to see a 3rd edition program.

Is there still a link to an operational version of this program? I can's seem to locate one.

You could follow the link that was supplied in this very thread.

Sweet. Must've been a connection problem before, because I kept getting a page not found error. (But my system is like that some times.)

So is this project dead now? If not, I'll be happy to help. I'm not a programmer, but I'd be happy to help out with .dat files.

One would imagine, with SR4 inbound.

I was the last coder to touch this project. The project owner was waiting for the DAT files to be finished before he posted the edition to his website. There was a couple of kind volunteers who were going to try to fill in the DAT files, but it looks like Real Life claimed them before they got finished. As they didn't post back any progress, I would guess that anyone who can put in the time is welcomed to go through the books and update the DAT files. Post them back here or at least post back here that you've got them ready and we will see about getting the package completed and out on the main site.

Of course when rules for SR4 become available, I'll look at coding up the version changes for that and a new round of DAT files. Unfortunately, we rely on volunteers for the time consuming DAT files.

If you are intersted in working on the DAT files, please look back in this thread for info on how to get the modified application and DAT files to start on.

Sorry all, I got claimed by real life. Got offered a job as an investment banker so I've had to accelerate my degree by a year, causing me to pull 100 hour work weeks consistently. If you email me at luke.harwood |at| gmail. com I'll forward what I've done.

Bit of a moot point given SR4 will be out soon.
