Plugin Developer Reference [What to use]

[Bluscream]

Hello, this is not a tutorial, just a list of recommended applications to write a plugin.

C/C++
If you want to build a C/C++ plugin you should use
Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Professional [Trial] [Mirror]
Teamspeak 3 Plugin SDK
The reason for this version is that Teamspeak was build upon it so you have no external dependencies that you have to ship with.
You can find some example sources on GitHub.​

QT
If you want to extend your C/C++ Plugin with Inputboxes/GUI Elements you need to include
QT 5.5.0
in your project.​

LUA
As you don't need a compiler for LUA scripts i suggest either using
Notepad++
or​

Sublime Text 2
cause they have proper syntax highlighting for LUA.​

PHP
If you want to access the serverquery shell with PHP i suggest using the
Planet Teamspeak PHP Framework

If you want to access the clientquery shell with PHP i suggest the
Clientquery API + Examples​

A tutorial may come in the future.

I think a solid tutorial for developing TeamSpeak 3 plugins is long overdue. There is not a single good resource around, the documentation is horribly shit quality. This would be extremely useful, I think.

Edited the C/C++ IDE because of this thread.

PHPstorm is actually very good for PHP development.

By the way i try to keep an up-to-date online version of the PluginAPI docs here: https://teamspeakdocs.github.io/PluginAPI/

PHPstorm is actually very good for PHP development.

Atom too.

this is not a tutorial

Precisely the problem!! I'm new to Teamspeak development, and while I have a fair bit of knowledge and I'm getting surprisingly far, there's a lot I can't do (probably because I can't find proper documenation!!!). Could you do a tutorial on some stuff because the other R4P3 tutorial got stopped?

If not, at least let me know where I can find the correct docs.
