June 2, 200521 yr Im looking for a way of looking up every member of my clan and then having them compared to make a top 10 list for every skill. Any1 have anything like that lying around their computer?
June 2, 200521 yr While we're at it, how would I go about putting this feature into a VB .NET program I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
June 3, 200521 yr That'd depend on how you want to do it. Let me tell you one thing - if you want to look it up whenever someone loads your website, or uses your tool, be prepared to get sued by jagex (since you're leeching off their bandwidth majorly). Instead, keep a database of your own and update that every 2-3 days. For php, you probably want a MySQL database. For VB.NET, I'd say you'd probably want an xml doc, or if that's too hard for you, plaintext. Getting the stats using php should be a piece of cake - if you don't know how to do it, then don't start at all (or try reading some php guides). As for VB.NET... hrm. I think you'll be best off (aka easier, safer, and less failures) using an XMLHTTPRequest object. Use the MSDN library (should be provided with VB.NET, otherwise it's on http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ ) to find out more.
June 3, 200521 yr Author I think i'll take the VB route, can it be done in VB 6? I havent done any .NET . I'll go take a look at that link anyway.

Bleh....took me a whole hour to install that :shock: I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
June 3, 200521 yr yes, for php, i would use xml commands to grab information out of the runescape highscores and then, place it in your mysql database, and then run the top score from that.
