how about adding an Examples or Tutorials category so the new people who want to make their own script could look at some examples/tutorials

yes, that would be useful, if there was anything useful on there. Sadly, there is very little content. I agree that it would be helpful, but I get more by browsing / searching the forum and looking at other scripts

Maybe if people started participating (again) and put stuff on it? Dempsey is updating the site, surely there's some ppl about here who can help with the content...

(don't look at me...if i could i would...)

I would help on those forums if it was active... and also maybe make some tutorials for windows =\

Agreed. Originally the Scripts DB would have had a tutorials section, but because Dempsey already made a good place for it and i don't want to do things double. All developer resources like tutorials, classes, editors and such should go to mpscripts and i'll happily link to there.

The scripts forum here and the forum on mpscripts.net are a bit double though .

If everybody thinks like that it'll never get active

Besides it's not forums only, the website needs more content. Once that's there the site can get promoted more and forums will become active automaticly.

There's plenty to do for those who can write Plus! scripts...like submit snippets, write tutorials..

well people should make a list of what things they want tutorials for I would write a few if there was such a list

The biggest problem with trying to write tutorials is we are being asked so much already how to do stuff that we don't get much time to do it.  Either that or we are too lazy.  I can give some code snippets and that, but there has been some great posts on this forum that need to be collected and just written up I think rather than re-writing the info.

EDIT: Thought I might include my list of bookmarked pages if someone feels like taking the info and putting it up. I do realise that this is a big list and you might not find half this stuff useful but I bookmarked it for some reason (I never checked them before posting) so I hope someone else can gather the info from it all.

There have been way more than this which should also be cataloged too but I cba looking, maybe other people can share their lists too.

I dunno, I guess starting from scratch simple stuff like:

• how to do show a Hello World window
  
• how to catch menu events
  
• how to do stuff based on commands
  
• etc
