Do you have Visual Basic? if not, try hitting Alt+F11 in any MS Office ap, you'll have a small environment you can try to learn in. It's not exactly like true VB or VBscript, but it at least helps you find some errors and makes it a little easier. Other than that I suggest just messing around, I took a class in high school, so I had to do a TON of small projects with specific purposes...other than that, I don't know what your skill lvl/understanding of programming is so I'd need more info about you

yeah i dun some shit step by step build ya own calender note pad and timer none of it sunk in cause it was a step by step ive probably learnt more in these 2 weeks from trial and error than i did when i was buggerin round with those crap tutorials on the net

Trial and error is the best way to learn I think

Rather than a "general" tutorial, it's far easy to find something on specifics (i.e Winsock control, reading/writing files)...as you write more code, it will get easier.

And to answer your other question...

Code: Select all

'Get a description for a bot!
'This has NOT been tested but it should work

Dim sMyINFO, sName, sDesc, sConn, sEmail, sShare
Dim iNameLength

Sub Main()
  sName = "Bot"
  sDesc = "Nahhhhh - I'm too stupid"
  sConn = "VERY Fast"
  sEmail = "[email protected]"
  sShare = "1024"

  iNameLength = Len(sName)

  sMyINFO = "$MyINFO $ALL " & CStr(sName) & " " & CStr(sDesc) & "$ $" & CStr(sConn) & Chr(1) & "$" & CStr(sEmail) & "$" & CStr(sShare) & "$|"

  frmHub.RegisterBotName(CStr(sName))
End Sub

Sub DataArival(curUser, sCurData)

  If Left(sCurData, CInt(iNameLength) + 9) = "$GetINFO " & CStr(sName) Then curUser.SendData CStr(sMyINFO)

End Sub

Oh and a few links I use....

www.developerfusion.com
www.vbip.com
www.google.ca

I found the first helped me a lot in the beginning, and it has a good link section / forum....vbip was good for internet programming (what gave me that idea...?)...google I use constantly!

if you are looking for a book you can get O'Reilly Visual Basic books, they cover VB, VBA, .Net and VBScript. I use the VBScript daily along with some other O'Reilly books, i highly recommend them.

another hting gadget genral bot v.24 doesnt do pm in new window it jsut says private message in the hub main chat anyone knows what line i have to change to make pm come in a new window??
with all my vb knowledge i cant figure it out

Gadget · Post by **Gadget** » 2003-02-18 20:32

If you want answer as private message in separate window, just send question privately to generalbot.

If you want to change that feature, edit the line 1045:

Code: Select all

      If Left(sCurData,1)="<" Or iSecurity=2 Then

to

Code: Select all

      If Left(sCurData,1)="<" Then

If you want VBScript ref, it's in VBSCRIPT?.CHM if some MS soft using vbscript is installed on your system.

Your right its on the Win2k Pro Install CD (i know for sure) and i beleive its located under the "support" folder. The MSDN is also a good place to look for definitions on different commands and for some snippets of example code.

http://www.devguru.com/Technologies/vbs ... intro.html is a very good site for VBScript reference too
