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.Brody Craft wrote: ↑17 Jul 2017, 15:20To see the tutorial, theres a Tutorial forum in the plugin forum group

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

Wouldn't I still need to learn how to code?Brody Craft wrote: ↑17 Jul 2017, 15:25Its actually pretty easy for basic plugins, non basic ones are a bit hard

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.

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 TrainCode: Select all
[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 JsonLobby wrote: ↑19 Jul 2017, 10:37Exactly, @Bearbear65.
