Hi guys, this was just going to be a modified main.htm file containing a link to more than 30 video tutorials for DarkBASIC Professional integrated into the help file system.

It still is that, however I've also added a link to Tutorial City, and copied the links from Zotoasters helpful tutorial list. This mod adds more than 60 new tutorials, which users can read or watch within DarkBASIC Professional directly.

Even better, I've fully tested the DarkPRINCIPLES Video links, so you can now view these directly within DarkBASIC Professional's help system.

To install it simply locate your DarkBASIC Professional folder, go into the help folder and replace main.htm with my modified verison

As I get more free time, I'll do a better job of this, but for now, just copy it into

Windows 32-bit (2k, XP, Vista, Seven)
C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark Basic Professional\Help
(please note DarkBASIC Professional folder names does vary)

Windows 64-bit (XP Pro/ Vista/ Seven)
C:\Program Files (x86)\The Game Creators\Dark Basic Professional\Help

DOWNLOAD

Be sure to backup your old main.htm just in case you don't like the mod.

The source code of that is ridiculous. You must have used a WYSIWYG editor...

Anyway, I love the idea. I cleaned up the source quite a bit (from 43kb to 10kb) and added links to all my plugins as well (Matrix,Styx,Extends,DarkNet,etc). I will most likely spend all of tomorrow searching those tutorial links for hidden treasures.

Thanks!

lol, welcome to the wonderful world of Openoffice web edit. It loaded quickly, visually looked in keeping with the original style. I rarely worry about the source code unless there's a reason for it.

I'm afraid that's down to the webmaster of that site. There are still several tutorials worth looking at.
