API

This API is the base of our plugins.

Using this manager, you can automatically install, and manage (update/delete/load/unload/reload) any of our plugins with one-click.

Dependencies

SteamWorks by KyleSanderson

Installation

• Download and install the dependencies.
• Download the latest release and install it in the usual way, even the empty folders! If they're missing, the plugin will try to create them, but if it lacks on permission the plugin will be unable to start.
• Use command !eternar to open up the menu

Package Configuration (Beginning of the developers section)

If you plan on writing a plugin that is using our API, and want to list it in the package manager you must .. -> Currently unavailable for the public, it will be available in 1.0.3

• 'main' | Stable plugins
• 'preview' or '84e1a89fe20baed1a4959516f496108225f22ee5' | Dev builds, may be unstable or uncompleted

Example plugin

A base template for a plugin that can be used in the system (Documentation)

};

public void OnPluginStart()
{
	if(Eternar_Available() && Eternar_GetVersion() >= 100000)
	{
		Eternar_StartPlugin(OnPluginStarted);
	}
}

public void Eternar_OnLoaded()
{
	OnPluginStart(); // late load
}

public void OnPluginEnd()
