So yea Mayor Welcome to TheoTown Forum

Thanks. Anyways, are there posts in the Tutorial section on how to make an open source plugin, and what programs to use?

[Brody Craft]

To see the tutorial, theres a Tutorial forum in the plugin forum group

Use Pixly or Paint.NET

Yeah, I just checked the "Getting Started" post. That table of contents looks very confusing, but I'll read it and watch some videos. See if I can learn anything.

Its actually pretty easy for basic plugins, non basic ones are a bit hard

Wouldn't I still need to learn how to code?

Coding json files isnt literally hard, its just writing some code

I can't remember everything

The json files aren't really what you would consider as coding. json is just a textual representation of structured data. You cannot use it to write new functionality for the game.

[Brody Craft]

What programming language are you using?

Java

Well, I'm going on vacation, so I'll try to read up on stuff and then see if I can do this. I'll see if I can get help too, when I get back.

I think json is like this
1) add plugin feature in java
2) make json for it in Java
So for example

Code: Select all

[Java]Code for Train

=

Code: Select all

[json]Train;

So if you write [json] train;
It will use the [java] code for train
So I think json is just telling what to do to theotown
Am I wrong?

Exactly, @Bearbear65. All in all that means that you cannot define new functionality without new Java code. That's different from some other plugin systems where you can actually provide some code.

That's very interesting, now I'm curious, I'll do some research on Java and Json
