O.P. Making a plug-in
sorta the most important part of making a plug-in is how to get it to work with a program(MSN 6 in my situation) im hoping this forum is right

but i wanted to make a plug-in either like Messanger plus or just one on its own for winamp 3.

when you type "/song" in a chat window or whatever you set it to then it displayus the song your listening to, the length etc. whatever was in the winamp3 info file. if you have the winamp 3 script from Phucknut i wish to make it similar to that

Im using VB to code this i know i can get it to read the info file and such but i dont know how to make it as a plug-in to MSN so it'll work,

Any help is MUCH appreciated and if this is the wrong forum sorry

Its a right forum for plug-ins for MsgPlus! :)

And, the feature is already there -- type (!WAT) in convo, and it will display current WinAmp sond :)

You know what? Better make that add-on for Windows Media Player 9 ;)

Well, i dont know what kind of format it is now, cuz' i dont use winamp ( :P ), but i think its somethin like: "artist name - song title", or other way round.

What you can do is create a QuickText, give it an alias like /wat (or whatever you want of course) and text like "I am listening to (!WAT)". You can also add different colors (ctrl+K), format tags, etc. etc. etc... ;)

You found a way to get the info from Winamp3 through VB? How... There's no VB SDK available on the NSDN page... I've only gotten Winamp2... Read my thread for the Winamp2 stuff. http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=13573
