source code

Source code for these plugins and others can be accessed via Subversion or the web.

For subversion clients, use the following URL:
https://server.scottellis.com.au/svn/mim_plugs

You can use the anonymous certificate located here if the certificate request dialogs become too annoying.

You can also browse the repository using WebSVN (which is much more user friendly).

It's normal to get a warning from your browser about the certificate for my site - if you'd like to avoid that, you can install my CA cert located here.

NB: The URL for svn access has changed (as of 16/7/07). You can use the SVN 'relocate' command if you have modified sources you wish to update.

Visual Studio project template

This project template for Visual Studio will do the work of setting up a Miranda plugin project for you, with no coding required. It gives you the choice of whether to include an empty options page, include message filtering code, register with Miranda's network library, include a main and/or contact menu item, and includes a configurable version resource. It creates 4 project configurations: Debug, Release, Debug (Unicode), and Release (Unicode). It was developed with and for VS2005.

help and support

I do this stuff for free and in my spare time, and as you might guess I enjoy the programming part more than anything else. The most helpful place is probably the Miranda forums.. However, do feel free to contact me and if I can find the time I'll do what I can to help. I have a todo list now that might help me to remember what I was going to do next - if you have something to add to it please let me know.
