Ok, so I've been a bit lax releasing this version (I'm lazy, what can I say?). It's here, it works, and it looks prettier.
You need .NET framework 2.0 (of which everyone was required to update too a few weeks ago when MS released it) to run the program, and winrar to extract it (www.rarlabs.com).
Prestige Calculator.
Report any bugs to me via /send or PM.
==========Update==========
Prestige Calculator now has an automatic stats grabber (by Antdizzle).
Simply follow the instructions upon loading and see how it goes!.
It's been uploaded, so all you need to do is click the same link above.

It works great. Found out that I still have made no progress in this game on this account. One thing I don't like is typing in my prestige. Maybe you can make it to where it graps the values off the page and does it for you.

Next to impossible, DS security is too high, and implimenting a grabber in a low language VB app would just be too high-risk.
I might work on a copy and paster though (I hae no idea how I'm going to do that though)
See how that fares...

Couldn't you get the HTML page and find the values from there? I can download the HTML pages fine and open them up and get my values.

It'd be hard crawling the page for certain parts... Unless you want to write the code 0.o

Include a cut and paste box which allows you to just paste the profile info and it will parse that data for the stats.

That would be easier, but it would also be more work for the end user. The only thing you should have to enter is your User ID and your stats should show up magically.

If either of you two are VB savy enough to do that, then go ahead

I'll make a plugin in C# since I have never used VB. You should be able to use it in VB though.

Just need to add some xml feeds to the website...
Then you can use the magic of PHP SimpleXML and grab your stats simply! (and there's probably something reasonably analogous in some other languages like C#)

Aha! But the trick is getting Shig here to actually do this for us

I have finished the plugin! YAY!
Open up the readme.txt file and follow my poorly written instructions.
The application in the file shows you that my plugin works.
If you need help implementing it, just ask me.

Ace plugin!
Trouble is, I see no way of moving this into VB :/

If you're using VS .Net it should be easy to add it all into a single project.
As a rule, any compiled executible/library/add-in should be fully available to you.
