Hello, I'm interested in writing some of my own scripts for Demonbuddy

[Trevor1]

What's the best way to get started?

Are there any tutorials on how to do stuff?

Also, what code is it written in?

Many thanks

There is no reference or documentation that i think is worthy. Best to take a look at some of the code for Adventurer, Trinity and other plugins. In VisualStudio You can create a solution from existing code on any plugin and add DemonBuddy.exe as a reference. I'd also recommend some form of decompiler like dotPeek to look at what methods DB is exposing as its 'API'.

There is no API, not even unwritten autogenerated API? Just with public access and so on? I've been wanting to ask this question for a while. I wanted to sort of make my own combat plugin for personal use. Its interesting that there's not much in the way of documentation. Although, just referencing the exe should be enough for most experienced programmers to figure it out, as long as there is no obfuscated method names.

as long as there is no obfuscated method names.

They do have obfuscated stuff but its mostly the lower level memory reading things, nothing you'd want to use until you knew everything. At which point you could work around it.
