First, I apologize if what I'm looking for already exists and I just didn't find it. Please reply with a link if that's the case!

I've got some programming experience and am interested in trying my hand at creating some plugins for LotRO. However, I am finding that the APIs and sample scripts are not sufficient for me to get past the learning curve and start whipping them up. I am wondering if some expert would be willing to make a "for Dummies" type of step-by-step guide to creating a super-simple plugin.

Here are some things I've found that didn't fit the bill:
- API documentation specific to LotRO (I don't even know what to incorporate them into!)
- Sample scripts for LotRO (I don't understand enough about what I'm seeing to know how to modify them!)
- General LUA tutorials on the web (I don't know how they apply to LotRO)

Anyway, I realize this would probably be a big pain for somebody, so I don't have any expectations. I also realize that this is the internet, so I'm at least as likely to get ridicule as to get help. Still, I figured if I didn't ask, then I'd never learn!

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
