You're narrowing your focus too much on the problem. Abstract what exactly you're trying to do to figure what you need to search for in order to engineer a solution. Obviously the server tool is a command line application so you'll probably want to search on how to interact with such applications using C#/.NET. You'll also need to figure out what exactly you can do with the server tool as-is, and create features from there. More advance features will require interfacing with the application's memory which you'll have to reverse engineer yourself.

Ok, the things i do know are those:
- the very basics of C#
- the server tool "as-is" standard, the things like banning tags, put up Vip and stuff

And what i want to achieve is this:
- making my own tool with extra functions, like the most important one for me would be automessaging

And yeah the "interaction" with C# and cmd is the main thing i want to understand.

but like i said before i got no clue where to start, or where to search for it or who could help me explaining things.

Why not start at the main thing you want to understand? I think it's a good start and you should be able to find info on the net about consoles (not game consoles :P).

yo vicky make your servertool work on vista

But yeah a good spot to start is making the basic servertool, then after that is done and you learned the basics of it start adding the advanced features that you want.

[Xtreme]

okay but how do i do that, making the basic server tool? XD
