hey guys, i'm a complete n00b at coding and i searched to see if there was a thread like this and i don't think there is. i downloaded the sdk and i was wondering if you HAVE to have ms visual c++ to do any of the changes. i tried the testmod with borland but i wasn't able to get it to work. any help would be greatly appreciated :)

It's possible you just need a compiler that can do window .dll files. However, it is much easier with VSC++.net because the project files have already been set up.
