Plugins editor - Unofficial

Post by SrBolillo »

Hello :D
A long time ago, I used to play TheoTown on my Android device, and it was a very fun experience for me. However, everything changed when they added plugins to the game. Since that moment, my life took a turn: I became passionate about programming thanks to TheoTown.

Now, I would like to give something back to the community, especially to new players who, like me back then, are just starting to explore the world of plugins.

My idea is to create an external editor and plugin creator for TheoTown, similar to what Bridge does for Minecraft Add-Ons. This editor would allow users to easily create and modify plugins, with a more user-friendly approach, like a questionnaire-based system. Although there is already a plugin creator made by a third party, my proposal is to develop a multiplatform version using React, so that it's easy to use on any device. :json

This project has no profit-driven intentions; it comes purely from the love for the game and the community. And of course, if the developers are on board, I would be happy to make it happen with all my enthusiasm.

With love for the community,

I would love to see this, but make sure developers are okay with it!

I think creating a user friendly plugin editor for TheoTown is a great idea however it is necessary to follow the rules from the developer to be safe to use.

Update on the development of the TheoTown plugin creation software:

As I mentioned earlier, I am working on a software tool to make it easier for TheoTown users to create plugins (JSON and manifest). Although my initial idea was to develop a website using React, that option is still on the table, but I’ve decided to expand the possibilities, considering other developers who might be interested in improving or recreating my work in the future.

With this in mind, I’ve created a simple Python library that allows you to generate and read JSON or manifest files from data or lists directly input into the library’s functions. This makes plugin creation easier without the need to handle files directly, streamlining the process for developers.

Currently, the library is in the testing phase, so it may contain some bugs. I plan to fix these issues in the coming days. Later, I will develop a program with a graphical user interface (GUI), also open source, to make the tool even more accessible to all users.

If the developers or administrators of TheoTown decide to reject this initiative, I will unfortunately have to remove the library. However, the source code will still be publicly available on GitHub, so anyone interested can continue working on it independently.

My main goal is to support the TheoTown community, with no profit involved, and to ensure that the software is accessible and useful for everyone.
