TShock supports downloading and installing plugins from NuGet repositories.
|
|
This allows it to automatically download the plugin as well as all of the extra things that the plugin needs.
|
|
For developers, this makes distributing plugins easier.
|
|
|
|
This functionality is accessible via the TShock.Server executable used to run the server normally.
|
|
|
|
Under Linux:
|
|
```
|
|
./TShock.Server plugins
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Under Windows (cmd.exe):
|
|
```
|
|
TShock.Server plugins
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The documentation for the commands is included in the help functionality.
|
|
A copy of the help output in English can be found in [packages-help.txt](packages-help.txt).
|
|
This file primarily exists to document the `packages.json`.
|
|
|
|
The file format is currently simple, including only a single object, containing a key `packages` that has a map of package IDs to their versions.
|
|
|
|
An example `packages.json` is shown below:
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"packages": {
|
|
"Commandy.20.10.22.Test": "0.0.1"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The name of the plugin is specified as the key, with the version as the value.
