TUTORIAL: The Absolute Basics of Plugin Making

じ☆ve冰风

This will only cover the BASICS of plugin making.  I will add more to this when the video is up ( i.e. how to pull params from the user to use in your plugin)

A video will accommodate this in a little bit.  You will NOT become a level 99 Warlock after this... maybe. a level 5 Wizard?.

Anyways,

1.  Download my template

View attached files.

2. Download an IDE,  or a Text editor specifically for coding  ( I use Notepad ++)  (you can use regular note pad, but that's boring)

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

3. Load my Template and read through my comments.  You can adjust code if you'd like.

Believe it or not,  this is actually a working plugin as well.  Load this to your plugins folder and turn

on your Text Drawing on your title screen.. see what happens!

* I will explain this below for the newer guys later tonight*  Please read through replies on this thread for errors or best practice.

Moving to Learning Javascript, & pinning

I think you should highlight the aliasing and calling of aliased methods more.  First read through I didn't think you had it in there at all.  This should be explained VERY well, and recommended as best practice, otherwise we're going to get a LOT of people writing plugins that just overwrite methods, which is going to give us a lot of incompatible plugins.
