So, are these server plugins or just another kinda generic plugin mod?

[MTK5012]

oh finally an auto updating mod

[notajf]

So, are these server plugins or just another kinda generic plugin mod?

Generic. Later mod versions will include some client-specific and server-specific features. Plugins are for both.

Plugin Files

A plugin is composed of two required files, plugin.gml and metdata.txt located in a directory. The directory may also contain a subdirectory named data containing additional files used by the plugin.

plugin.gml

plugin.gml is a GML script which is executed when the plugin is loaded.
metadata.ini

metadata.ini is an INI file containing metadata about the plugin.
This is automatically generated when a plugin is downloaded, however, you need to create it manually for testing.
Its format is as follows:

eh...? Have you done a typo or am I just dumb?
_{inb4 I'm dumb anyways}

[Phantom Brave]

it's a typo
"I'm dumb anyways"

[notajf]

Typo. I originally used INI, changed to TXT then back to INI, missed that. Fix later.

Currently uploading a couple of plugins.
I don't like it that you get 2 messages for every plugin you download, maybe you can make some sort of console window that shows the messages so you don't have to press 'ok' every time?

also make it work with pictures and sounds nao

Yes the two messages are irritating, I'll see what I can do about that. I can't offer any indication of process with the current download system though, hmm.

also make it work with pictures and sounds nao

I'll work on that.

Maybe make it an ini option to automatically download and update without asking?

... it actually asks so it doesn't appear GG2 froze up for no reason. Same with the messages.

I'll think of some solution.

Use io_handle(), it'll make Game Maker continue to move the mouse and stuff. Put it inside the loop.
Then maybe make moving dots:

You know what I mean

io_handle() doesn't help really.

Release 2 [mostly bugfixes]

• Delete button actually disables plugin as well as remove
• Download activity visible (so it doesn't look like it's frozen)
• Less messages when downloading
• Better internal plugin existence checks when downloading

Download

P.S. Lorgan, for the moment no bundled files. I'd suggest you upload to imgur.com instead, then do:

Code:

if (global.SMOKE_pluginupdated) {
    SMOKE_http_file("i.imgur.com", "/iJh76.png", global.SMOKE_plugindatapath+"myFunPicture.png", true);
}

That will download files when updated (or installed). The true argument makes it display activity (the "Downloading - 23827B" banner) to make GG2 appear less frozen.
Edit: OK that code doesn't work
