Hello
I was wanting to know what program to use for someone who is wanting to start learning to make basic mods or plugins? I have a really simple thing that i'd like to do and thought i might be able to figure it out if i had some help. Do coders use some kind of program to make their mods that uses WYSIWYG maybe? I'm really kinda in the dark, but i'm willing to learn. Like i said, its only for one small thing that probably most coders would laugh at. Please help. Thanks!

You can read the following articles:

Create a custom page: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228112

Templates and registering variables: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228078

There is an existing tutorial here in vb.org with detailed steps in creating a mod...will post the link as soon as I see it. Though as far as I can remember it is for vb 3

I suggest you also download an existing mod and check how it works.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
