That's because BotDK apparently wasn't able to load the plugin. In this version, BotDK won't display an error when it didn't succeed in loading a plugin. The next version will display an error message when it can't load a plugin.

Edit: When a plugin can be loaded correctly by BotDK, the checkbox is supposed to remain checked, also when you close and reopen the configuration window.

wow man, thats impresive
you did a great job, and the docs with pics and everything
looking forward to try it. as soon as i finish mine i will, but after seeing this one mine's gonna look lame

Thanks for the compliment Hilikus!

I'm thinking about changing the way BotDK works a little. Actually I think it would be even nicer if you could turn MsgPlus! plugins into auto-responders or bots using BotDK.

My idea is to make BotDK a DLL which you can redistribute with your MsgPlus! plugin. In your MsgPlus! plugin you would need to create an object which implements BotDK's IPlugin (as it's called now) interface (in VB/C# .NET plugins you can just let the MsgPlus! plugin object implement BotDK's IPlugin interface as well). Then the MsgPlus! plugin would need to register that object with the BotDK DLL, which will then generate the callbacks on the IPlugin interface.

This way, the features of MsgPlus! and BotDK can be combined into one MsgPlus! plugin.

Please tell me what you think about this idea (I hope I've been able to explain myself properly and understandably).

do you need vb expirience? ( i dont have a clue how to work it! ) can anyone help me?

the sample plugin doesnt work for me

Yeah, could be... I've forgotten to create the plugin object in the sample plugin as a COM Object. I've attached a corrected version of the sample plugin to the opening post.

You need to have experience with a COM-compatible programming language.
However, you can't use Visual Basic 6, because VB6 doesn't support Free threaded COM objects. You can use VB.NET instead.
Documentation on how to create BotDK plugins is located in [install folder]\Documentation (for example: C:\Program Files\BotDK\Documentation).

This plugin sounds great at first, but it's too difficult for the general public to use so in my opinion it isn't that great and won't be too popular. But that's just my opinion.

This isn't made for the n00b people in the first place....

This is made for those who want something "extra" to develop plugins; It is made for those who also create normal Plus! plugins...

Agreed.
The plugins created using BotDK should be for the 'general public' .

Is there a way to send a message with the same font as a normal message?
