How to update outdated plugins for new versions?

[panzer1b]

Hi, i have a very old plugin i want to make functional in a newer version

i have the source but i want to know specifically how to compile it for the new version, or perhaps if necessary what to edit/change in the code file to make it work again.

any help with this is appreciated

im pretty new to actual plugin work, so i dont really know how to do this

Well, as for the compiling question you could try to compile it against the most current libraries. If you're using a dedicated development environment it would give you clues on which parts of the code are no longer up to date. However, even if the code is compliant and therefore can be compiled, there might be other changes to make in the code to make it functional in the current version.

It would help if you gave more information, like which plugin you are trying to revive. This would allow others coming across this thread to give you specific advice on what it might take and help you with problems you encounter.
