[Plugin] Bundles

Having mdk's plugins are nice I like them and I appreciate the work
But I have a issue that trying to find the specific thing I'm looking for is sometimes hard
Since I have to scroll down a lot while checking the items and this takes time
So maybe having a "bundle" json will be nice :D

Code: Select all

"bundle":[{"main frame":"example 01.png},{"bmp":"example 02"},{"bmp":"example 03"}],
The main frame will be the icon of the bundle like this ↓ with the golf clubhouse

Something like this for example

I know the amount of entries is not ideal, and I try to avoid it as much as possible, but mostly this is due to the fact that many lots ar rotation aware, so they need their own entry.
But I can see the point in your suggestion. You want sub-menus that open up if you select an entry in the main menu, right?
I'm not sure however that the code would work the way you suggested, or it would become very complicated because of the different frames for rotation.
Maybe the bundle should specifiy a series of IDs rather than frames.

I plan something like nested categories, but I cannot tell when it will be finished. With 337 you will be able to define your own category. I'll write in the documentation forum about it.

By providing a multiple of 4 frames in a rotation aware building you can bundle them a bit. Bad for overview, though.

I can't wait for the tutorial on making our own categories. The first I'll do when I figure it put will be to make a new catagory for my elevated terrain.
