I am currently developing a plugin called Mezenger Zounds in visual basic, this plugin will be open source, as I haven't seen any yet, I was wondering if any one does own an open source plugin in vb, as I really need to check some things, and add some things, to make it work completely, Creadits will go massivly to anybody who does help! I am adding a creadits section, there will be a link to there website, and there name etc. Please help me, Im using winmm.dll for the sounds, but I can change if slightly different

What kind of "things" do you want to check and add?

Well its just to do with the sounds, i just want to see how the client recieves them, thats all, just howto get it to play on the clients computer, i know you send a msg like 'sxs56' but im not sure how

Check the MsgPlus! plugins documantension
http://plugins.msgplus.net

in ParseCommand, send a notification message, and a UID for the sound. imo, i would use a 2 char code for the plugin, and 3 to identify the sounds, eg MZ for your plugin, and say hey for a "hello" sound

In receivenotify, split the sNotifyCode into the 2 char part and the 3 char part. If the first 2 = MZ then you know its a code for your plugin, then do a switch case, or lots of ifs, to identify which sound you need to play

There you go...
I made a quick example...

You type /xlolsnd and you will hear someone laughing.
If the other user has the plugin too, he/she will hear the sound too but the user's convo window must have focus!

Btw here is the link i got LOL.wav from : http://www.partnersinrhyme.com/soundfx/human.shtml but be sure to only download .wav sound files because i dont know if it works with other formats too!

If you are gonna add more sounds open "Install Info Maker" and add the excact name of the sound file(include .wav too!) to the ExtraFiles lists and then click save and then click yes.
If you are just going to change the code a bit then compile the plugin and run "updater.exe" .

To install the plugin just run "installer.exe"

Please tell me what you think
