Please add more meta data from within plugins.txt

[xobes]

Can all the information that is now supported from within plugin.txt be extracted and incorporated into the plugins.json file so that this information is available before downloading the .zip file and looking inside?

In particular:

• tags
• dependencies
  • game version
  • requires
  • optional
  • conflicts

See Plugins::Load within Plugins.cpp:

		else if(key == "tags")
			for(const DataNode &grand : child)
				tags.insert(grand.Token(0));
		else if(key == "dependencies")
		{
			for(const DataNode &grand : child)
			{
				const string &grandKey = grand.Token(0);
				bool grandHasValue = grand.Size() >= 2;
				if(grandKey == "game version" && grandHasValue)
					dependencies.gameVersion = grand.Token(1);
				else if(grandKey == "requires")
					for(const DataNode &great : grand)
						dependencies.required.insert(great.Token(0));
				else if(grandKey == "optional")
					for(const DataNode &great : grand)
						dependencies.optional.insert(great.Token(0));
				else if(grandKey == "conflicts")
					for(const DataNode &great : grand)
						dependencies.conflicted.insert(great.Token(0));
				else
					grand.PrintTrace("Skipping unrecognized attribute:");
			}
		}

Shouldn't this issue be made on the main repo?

[xobes]

I don't think that the "main repo" has anything to do with the .json file's creation.
By "main repo" I take it we are talking about the game itself.
Whereas I am talking about the plugin list. The .json file currently does not have any of the dependency information in it -- and thus dependencies are unknown before downloading.

Oh mb
