Marty... Tom's RSS Pro Tutorial: Design, Procedures, Forms...

Hey gang...
Long time no hear.
About time for another series of tutorials on RSS Pro...
Ohh.... no... Not another series? LOL 
Yeah... I reckon it's about time for another one.
With everything I have learned to date.

I think those that have this software should enjoy it.
Going to try and make it as easy as possible to understand.
With lots of pictures.
Videos, explanations, examples and whatever else I can think of.

Those that are interested.
Should learn a lot about coding.
Or how to code.
Or how I code to be more specific.

On the way. You should learn how to understand some of Silver scripts.
How to make scripts work for you.
How to write scripts that do something.
How to do error checks.
How to think about what you want the code to do.
And a range of other things.

Blah, blah, blah...
All words and no action...
Show me...

LOL...

Ahh dear...
Your gona have to forgive my jibes from time to time.

Anyway...

For those interested.
I hope you follow along.

Why I like using RSS Pro.

Description: If you are looking for the software that will allow you to make your own roulette robot or roulette software then this is it. RSS Pro will allow you to build an user friendly interface for your own roulette strategy also to build even roulette tools that will be able to generate unlimited numbers of roulette strategies and the best news is that all will be in an open source format.

[ThomasGrant]

Things your gonna need...

Tools.
Notepad++ best text editor there is. And it's FREE.
RSS Pro... err. Yeah. Your gonna need this for the scripts to work.
Get RSS Pro for Playtech. It's the easiest to work with.
And it's the one I will be using.

Scripts.
Ohh there are a few of them around.
Ask Silver for one.

Design.
Forms.
Procedures.

We will get to those.

[dchq_bam]

is ALL this your talking about free

[ThomasGrant]

is ALL this your talking about free

Errr... sort of.
LOL

It's a tutorial.
So yes the tutorial is FREE.
As for the software.
You can get it from here.
link:://:.money-maker-machine.com/forum/downloads/?sa=view;down=76
The scripts should run.
However they may not be able to spin the wheel of the casino.
As that you will have to pay for.
You still can download the software.
And install it.
If you wish. You can follow along.
The software as I understand it. Cost some $150

Here is what you may need to get you going.

1. A folder to put stuff.

2. marty_folders_setup.zip
Extract the file into the new folder you just made.

3. Run marty_folders_setup.exe
This will create some addition folders for the storing of information.

You can view the video to see how all of this is done.

[ThomasGrant]

Next step is to create some units and forms.

You have your basic forms.
Unit 1.
Unit 2.

Unit 2 is the basic form that we will be working on.

Then we make Unit 3 and Unit 4.
These will be used to put procedures.

One more Form.
Unit 5.
This will be for our Dialog objects.
OpenDialog
SaveDialog
FontDialog
ColorDialog

Great place to keep them all and access them all.

Here is the link I used to convert the .jpg image over to a .ico image.

And here is the video for it.
link:://rouletteprofesor.com/rss-pro/marty_vid_01/marty_vid_01.html

[ThomasGrant]

Ok, I have decided to add one more Form, Form6.
Form6 will be for Casino Config.
Where I will go through
"How to set up a Form for your Casino information"
Adding in a Casino.
Testing to see if it will spin.
Putting the Casino into a menu.
And a few other things.

So, all you those that are following along.
Open up the Project we are working on.
And simply add another Form.

Save your work.

You should now have Unit1, Unit2, Unit3, Unit4, Unit5, Unit6

This is what Form2 code should look like.

Code Select Expand

{$FORM TForm2, Unit2.sfm}

uses
  Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs, Unit3, Unit4, Unit5, Unit6,
  Menus;                                     

var x:TForm; {Main Form2 Location paramaters}       
var Form5:TForm5; {Dialog Form}
var Form6:TForm6; {Casino Config Form}

begin
end;

Here is the next video in the series.

[ThomasGrant]

Ok, in this next video.
I go trough doing a group move.
Adding in a Panel and move it.
Check it out. It's so cool.
Really neat thing to know.
Adding in fields.
And buttons.

link:://rouletteprofesor.com/rss-pro/marty_vid_03/marty_vid_03.html

I have also added the zip file of what I have done to date.
Just replace the files you already have.
And open the project again.

[ThomasGrant]

Now, since we are working on Unit6
We may as well get it open when we run the script.

Here is the standard Unit1 script.

Code Select Expand

uses               
  Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs, Unit2;

var         
  MainForm: TForm2;
begin
  MainForm := TForm2.Create(Application);
  MainForm.Show;
end;

Now all we do is change 2 to 6

Code Select Expand

uses               
  Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs, Unit6;

var         
  MainForm: TForm6;
begin
  MainForm := TForm6.Create(Application);
  MainForm.Show;
end;

So when we press run.
It opens up Form6

We will change it back to 2 after we have finished coding Form6

[ThomasGrant]

I was thinking of making From6 a Database.
But I do not understand how to create databases in Delphi or in RSS Pro.
A Database would be a lot easier to work with.
Ohh well...
If I can get a database example for RSS Pro.
Then I will redo this part of the tutorial.

[ThomasGrant]

Hmm....
I was going to continue on with this tutorial.
I seem to start things.
But rarely get them finished.
I have asked Silver on help with explaining to me how to make a database.
As I was intending to add that to my portfolio of things I know how to do.
But it seems that it may not happen.
I have other things I am involved with now.
Other things I want to spend money on.
And break free form the chains of poverty.
I may or may not update or do more scripts.
I have no idea.
Depends on how motivated I am.

Anyway...
It's been a hoot.

Will keep in touch.

[ThomasGrant]

Here are some pictures of what I had in mind for the tutorial.
Notice in m3 where I have a tab with Systems on it.
You will see that this has another PageControl that has side ways tabs.
Or Tabs to the left.

Picture m5 is for Manual input.
I thought I would give that a go.

Picture m6 is for Casino Config.
I wanted this to be a database.
But that does not look like it is going to happen.
So I will make do with what I have on screen.

This is my own project now.
Just showing you what I am up to.

[ophis]

What sort of DB you want to use?

So you have access to mysql?

Or do you want to use Borland DB... if yes then do you have access to Database Desktop app which is included with delphi7?

[ThomasGrant]

What sort of DB you want to use?

So you have access to mysql?

Or do you want to use Borland DB... if yes then do you have access to Database Desktop app which is included with delphi7?

I don't know what database to use.
That is why I asked.
Or I don't know how to make one in RSS Pro.
Or how to use one in RSS Pro.

Thing the database needs to be.
It needs to be simple.
And it needs to work.
So I can do a video tutorial on it.
That is, as soon as I understand how to make one.
Or use one.

So everyone else can follow along as well.
And create their own databases.

How to create a database with RSS Pro.
Using ... what ever software, database creator there is that can make databases easily.
And is free to use.

How to use the database so it does things for you.
Or saves info for you.

For instance.
Click on the name for the roulette table.
And it will make that roulette table playable.
Double click on it maybe.

Lots of options.

Only problem is.

I don't know enough about Databases to get them to work.
Especially when it comes to RSS Pro.

So any help would be appreciated.
