If you have to ask such questions, are you sure you're ready to develop a plugin?


it's not like building a webpage where you just install Frontpage or something and then WYSIWYG it until you get something that works.


Building a plugin takes programming knowledge in at least 1 specific language.


By you asking that question it would be my understanding that you do not know any of those languages.


Learn a language first, THEN attmempt a decal plugin as a project once you've actually learned the language and done something OTHER than decal with it.

What Drakier said...it's not that easy. I've completed beginner and intermediate C and C++ and wouldn't know where to begin developing a plugin.

first thx for the reply's and second you guys are right..im not skilled in any language yet, ive just been fooling around in vb6 and making some small app (not ac ones) but i thought that i might aswell d/l these programs while they are still free.

Im also starting to look at c++ some so i was just wondering if one off the programs would be most likely to be supported with the new decal. thx again

If you're just learning, I would personally suggets VB.NET or C# (if you plan on using C++ or Java ever)


C# is very Java-like and it uses C-type syntax, where VB.NET is a little more VB6 ish (but not the same).


I personally like C# a LOT. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone learning a new language.


All of the languages listed above CAN do Decal plugins (with the possible exception of J#... but I'm not sure).


So ultimately, for plugin creation, it doesn't matter which you use.. I'd recommend getting them all just to have them... but for sure I feel C# is one of the better ones, and C++ after that. (I don't personally like VB.NET)

thanks Drakier ill listen to u and d/l them all ...atleast the c# and .net ones


btw. when i had 2 accounts i loved your dual client...awsome work

anyone got a tutorial site on how to make a simple AC plugin?

How about a site with free video on learning C#


http://www.learnvisualstudio.net/


Price is right. Goes with Visual Studio Express

i wonder... how hard would it be to make a simple chat program where it basically just asks for a user name and when they type it the chat doesn't really use a server program but say a notepad file instead that it writes/refreshes to chat window every few mins.. kinda like a tag board? meh hard to explain what i mean.

Just what I was looking for.


Thanks
