Unfortunately, Seiya, that sort of generalistic question is not going to get answered on this board. This forum is designed for people who have specific bot-related questions - and there's plenty of experienced programmers here who will be willing to give their advice.

Here's your first piece of advice: Go and get yourself a book (C++ is used by more experienced programmers, you would find Visual Basic 6.0 easier to learn), pick a language and learn it before even thinking of coding a bot.

[EDIT: damn typo]

just buy one of them books for like $20-30 in a bookstore... get a 'for dummies' to start, then work upwards ;).

Also, just a C++ question (im skipping here and there and stuff). How do you make an interface for it to be used in? do u use dll to send code to vb interface...?

Wow, that would be a horrid waste of time :P

You either draw it with the code itself, or a form editor.

I actually found a rather good C++ book for download, instead of having code throw at you *everything* is explained. Free AND legal :P

Yes, it does help...it teaches you an understanding of visual basic...which is required to make a bot. Using the information at that website you should be able to make a bot, if you use the information correctly that is.

C'mon man...  You can't just sit down and expect to program a bot.  Programming is not "natural language."  You're going to need to put some kind of effort into it.

You're talking about a slash screen, right?

Assuming you are, you have to tell the program to start at "sub main()" instead of "form1" or whatever it is now.  It's in project properties or something.

Then add a new form to your project, with the template "frmSlash" or whatever it's called.

Then put a "Sub main()" inside one of your modules that looks like this:

sub main()
    load form1
    frmsplash.show vbmodal
    form1.show vbmodeless
end sub
