Starting on plugin

[Nvr87]

Ive been browsing the forum, havent seen anything simular so far so here goes, i'm thinking of makin a plugin but im at work atm so havent got the chance to download the documentation. Even so, ive got some questions. First of i see some plugins existing only out of one classfile, i gues this is no prio? Further im wondering how HB detects the plugin (mayb this is someth wich stands in the docs, srry then), any things i need 2 mind so HB succesfully binds with the class? Also i see 2 versions of docs, i guess i should aim for the newest 2.0 version to make my plugin, of is the older version of HB still mostused?

Just make sure you use the correct imports and have set the overrides for author etc. A plugin doesn't have to have only one file, it can quite happily use multiple .cs docs for example if you want to use a form. Note that HB2 cannot use external DLLs and as I found yesterday doesn't contain everything from .net such as System.Web.

Cool thanks, is there some more info on plugin creation in the documentation?

From what I can tell the documentation is just for the API in that it shows classes, members and functions of HB. The best way to get an idea of what to do is probably to have a look at other people's plugins.

Ok home now so all ready 2 start coding XD hehe, well got a question. Found that for HB to find the plugin the main class is declared as HBPlugin type. I was wondering how ppl start, u get 2 use the references to those classes or do all go with just the documentation? (better refrase i think, those imports, where should i get em from?)

Guess im looking for the styx.dll?

Again answered my own question, im on fire talkin 2 myself! No it doesnt work with the newer HB im using . How u guys work around that?

Ok, to answer my own question, found it in the HB folder. To my defence its not in the folder of the newer version of HB and thats the one im using. This brings another question (Whoehoe, im promoted to dumbass, really srry) but does the plugin then work with the newer version?
