I have a very limited knowledge of programming, in fact the only time i've ever properly used it was using Delphi at college some years back and Basic on my Spectrum haha! Anyway the point i'm getting at is I had an idea of a plugin and was wondering if it would be difficult, or even possible, to make.

A lot of my contacts, including myself, play the very popular (and very addictive) Football Manager 2005. I was wondering if it would be possible to create a plugin to put the latest scores in the screen name or personal message space. I think this would be cool, but wouldn't know where to start (the obvious answer is to learn VB, etc in more depth) so I was just wondering if it was a feasable idea?

Thanks for any feedback.

I have no idea how to program, but I think this could be fesable, as its a siular princibal to the keeping up to date and chaing ur name / personal message with the name of the song ur listening to.

I guess that's possible if the scores are accesible by the plugin.

Like are they saved in your computer, in what format?
Are they saved online, where, are they downloadable, are they readable?

I suppose that could be a stumbling block, while Media player reads the ID3 info from the file it plays (am i right? lol) these scores would be saved in memory while the game is being played. As far as I know, they're not stored in a file, so the plugin would have to read it from the memory.

You'd have to figure out where in memory those scores are, and I don't think you'd be able to do that in VB or in C++ tbh. Although the scores might be stored in the registry, try looking there.
