vectorman Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Are there any plans on bringing some sort of plugins/extensions support to LaunchBox? I have created some libraries (once used in my unreleased and discontinued launcher) that I would love to plug into LaunchBox in the future.

Jason Carr Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hi vectorman, welcome! I do have plans to add plugin support, but they are pretty ill defined (I haven't thought about them much, as of yet). It might help to know what your plugins do, so that I could better figure out how to support them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vectorman Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hi, and thank you! All that is really needed for the plugins to work is: * Access to a game's absolute path that is being launched. * Ability to temporarily override a game's file path being launched. This would occur right before the game is run, and would not permanently alter the actual path settings. * Ability to add a context menu item when right-clicking a game (or any sort of menu item/button, etc). With those three things, I think it will work perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Wow, that's pretty simple. Okay. Hopefully I can add that soon. What functionality do your plugins add? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vectorman Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Thanks! Here are the functions of each: The first one adds game/ROM "launch with patch" patching support (IPS is currently supported, but I'm working on adding more formats.) Another adds a "search game title in Google" context menu item. The third shows details such as game checksum information (CRC32, MD5, etc.) The one I'm concentrating on for now is patch support.
