Also these require Service Pack 2 if running Windows XP. Which you really should be running already.

Very Interesting, but off-topic for the AC Utilities Board.

I am not sure how you see getting free programming tools to write plugins would be off-topic.


If you are planning to write any .Net compatable plugins, this is definately a way to go. It however is not complete enough to create as distribution files (.msi) Other tools would have to be used for that.

Just seems that making annoucements about Decal is off-topic, ditto for asking about plugin authors.

Ciper,

I copied and pasted a line from a reply I got on another thread, attempting to be funny. I could pose the arguement that is IS off topic, and take one of many tangents with it.. but I'm not really in that kinda frame of mind today. Besides, if I want to purposely tick off a mod, I'd wait for something I could really have some fun with.


I actually went and downloaded a couple of these tools myself, ty for posting the link.


Seeing as I have virtually no programming experience, this could be fun.


I can't write a macro script, but I can take someone else's and heavily modify it to suit me. ( well can't is the wrong word, I never tried from scratch )


I can't do HTML from memory, but again I can look at examples, and do my own pages, if needed.


I can't program, but I can point and click, so I figgure with Visual Basic I should be able to do well enough to totally freak up my computer.


SO far I have a window that pops up when I click an icon, and my computer doesn't crash... Later I`ll try and make it do something. I'm thinking try and figgure out how to add buttons, and link them to something, possibly games on my computer, just to see if I can figgure it out.


Then when I get frustrated and am too lazy to do a little research, I`ll probally end up crashing my computer. Which is ok with me, since I've been crashing machines for years. =)
