well maybe others could make plugins but they have to be accepted and digitally signed to work on the server.

or!

they can work but it warns you of the consequences. Also it would be server side type plugins. Kind of like you cant go on a server and use a plugin that wasnt added to that server. Also there could be digitally signed ones so that stefan could add them...


well one of the reasons I want to do this is because we can make plugins and stuff that will allow connection to a remote MYSQL database to link websites to PWs and also you can do much more like make the engine better. In fact you can probably even create your own type of client to allow different type of game play. Also remaking your own client/plugin could decrease lag

There are many many things that could be done with plugins. It would allow stefan to kind of take a break from scripting so much and also would allow others to make things that they wish graal could do. That means the players can update the engine themselves instead of waiting for updates/upgrades



though this would require basicly rewritting tons of things.... it would be well worth it. If you need any help I could offer my services...
