[QUOTE="booyakasha, post: 104888, member: 16900"] Are you well-versed in vb.net or are you at the beginning of the learning curve in it? If you're new to vb.net, you may be better off learning C# as that's what MP is written in. As for the compiling of the source code, I've never actually done it (nor needed to), although I use the source code for tutorials all the time. I use one folder for the normal MP install and then have the source in another folder for tutorial purposes. Then I use the release version DLL's as references for my plugins. As previously stated, the best way to learn is look at other plugins. Many are already in the MP source code. Looking at and understanding the current source code is probably the best solution. I'm not sure you can do this entirely without C#, or at least understanding C# and perusing the source with your favourite text editor, then translating the code from C# to vb.net. Seems like double the effort imho [/QUOTE]
