[Potential Project] PI Plugin System Based Server

**mikelmao** · 03-23-2014, 01:43 PM

So i was thinking of making a plugin system for PI so people can just download that PI base, and add plugins for functionality to allow for easy sharing within the community.

I was thinking of like a zip file or folder with Java classes in them which will allow you to hook in to the system and add functionality.. In theory, you would just have to upload that folder/zip file and someone else would have to put it in their /mods/ folder and it the then the plugin would work for them as well..

I havnt looked in to it much but i think it wouldnt be too difficult, you would be able to pretty much add anything you would want, or manipulate some systematic functions which would be provided by the plugin system

So is there such a thing already? And if not, you guys think people would benifit from such a system?

Also, does anyone recomend a good PI base? One which has dupes fixed and preferably good networking?

Apollo, it's not PI but that makes it even better.

Why not use the base that was _made_ for this kind of thing?

It looks interesting, but its project from back in 2011 and it has many incomplete features. Im not interested in writing parts of RSPS's atm, i just want to make the plugin system. So id like to get a pretty complete base and just work off that. Dont feel like investing months of my time again in a server..

Once i complete the plugin system ill release the source and people can update it, and release it again if they please.

Project Insanity is from 2010 so older then Apollo. And what does age matter? Apollo is and will always be great.
And you most probably don't feel like working on Apollo because you don't have sufficient knowledge.

Lol, claiming someone (Probably) does not have sufficient knowledge based on absolutely nothing. Look at threads iv started.. As i had claimed before i dont want to go through the entire process of making the server (skills and what not).. And Apollo only has some of the basics such as movement, inventory handling but i would have to put too much time and efford in to it which i dont want to do.. I just want to make the plugin system for learning purposes..

Also PI is still in development ATM by the community, while apollo stopped developing in 2011 there for PI is currently still more up to date. I did not do the research to backup this statement so my apoligise if there are still being sources based on Apollo being released.

EDIT: After doing some reasearch i noticed that the most recent commit on github for apollo was 5 days ago.. So im guessing it is actually still in development? Iv never used a github

EDIT2: Based on the post above me im guessing apollo is more advanced then i orignally assumed.. But it already has plugin system so would be no point in working on Apollo from a learning POV

To make a plugin system one cannot simply throw something on top of PI... Plugin systems are usually event based, so you would have to almost rewrite everything anyway...
If you want a plugin system use Apollo, trust me it doesn't take long to learn Ruby.

I dont think i would have to re-write much code. Just have to add methods to existing functions to run some methods in the plugin system. But like i said, apollo already has a plugin system and the reason i want to make a plugin system for a RSPS is to learn.

Then do it, if it's good then people will use it. You don't need our permission to do something you're going to do anyway...

edit: if you want to do something good for the community add a good combat system to Apollo.

With sufficient knowledge I didn't mean sufficient knowledge in webdesigner but in Java developer, and since I don't see a good Java project of yours I doub't the amount of Java knowledge you have.
