    • How do you make plug-ins?


      I was just wondering how you make plug-ins because I have an idea but I don't know how to make plug-ins. So learning would be a plus!

      There is actually an entire board dedicated to making plugins (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number;=9&SUBMIT;=Go")here(/url). I can tell you, though, it is a lot of hard work and caffeine.

      That's great. Start on the EVO Developer's board, read the FAQs, and make sure you download RESEDIT. It's the best editor for making plug-ins out there...plus, you can do all sorts of other cool stuff with it! And best of all, its FREE!

      Not to mention tiny. It's around 264k. Also, it's the most stable, and, despite what people say, not hard at all. Also, download the EVO bible. Without it, learning Plugin making is like trying to learn Indian by wandering into a bar there, and trying to order a beer, BY TALKING VERY SLOWLY AND LOUDLY! Plus it includes the Override Templates which without would be like trying to write a 500 page book on Philoligy when you have no clue what philology is (for the record it's the study of languages, ancient and modern).

    • You wouldn't happen to be studying analagys would you?

      I bet it took you all day to think those up, didn't it?
