I have the helm3 program, for sailing ships.
For some reason it stopped working, it says I am missing a file. I deleted the program & reinstalled it. I'm still getting the same message. Is anyone else having the same trouble :?:


Thanks

Hey Joc,
Not using it but.. what is the file it says it is missing? Also, where does it say it is looking for it?

kinda related question can the program be modified? So I could change what is said when the buttons are used, make it like a quick macro lisk for things like .door and .loot?

Kinda Like the old ColecoVision controller? :)

the file is a .dll file, MSVBVM60.DLL

Thanks for the help

Ah, thats the visual basic runtime library (or one of them anyway).

You can download that from here:

I wrote the program as one of my first tries in Visual Basic, so it will require the VB runtimes be installed to operate.

The program is hardcoded for the WoD tiller commands and so can not really be changed by the user. I had not thought of making one for all the common commands, that might be good. On the other hand, I am part way through writing another one to control tamed pets (my wyrm) that you are hunting with.

Would you be willing to share the source? I write in VB, and could use it as a shell to make things easier for me to do some stuff with UO. Just a thought :)
