Shop for plugins

[waders]

I have an idea to create a shop for plugins so that you can in the game immediately install the plug-in

[Josh]

But then someone has to place the plugins in the game. I don't think its necesarry, but its a nice thought

[waders]

Plugins would be free and you could plug in the plug in and then have internet connection

[CommanderABab]

You would probably have to restart the game, as with all software updates

[waders]

So once the plugins are downloaded, the game will re-enable the game

[Lobby]

I like this idea, however, I have no time to do it.

[waders]

I understand but in the future you can add such options

[KINGTUT10101]

Maybe someone else could make a separate app for this purpose.

[waders]

@KINGTUT10101 That would make no sense because the application would not be able to use the memory on the device, and after that it will be used to download plugins

[KINGTUT10101]

What are you talking about? Of course the app would be able to access the memory of a device. How do you think TheoTown stores maps and regions? For the app it would be as easy as downloading a plug-in from a server and putting it into the plug-in folder.

[waders]

This is not such a bad idea

[waders]

But it would be better if the plugins could be downloaded in the game

[KINGTUT10101]

Of course, but what I said is the next best thing.

[KINGTUT10101]

I don't like that idea
1) You should somehow move all the old plug-ins to this app
2) How Lobby said, it's hard to implement it to the game. I swear, almost nobody would download it as a separate app
3) How would you monitor plug-ins and copyright?

1) You wouldn't have to move any old plug-ins to the app. Users would submit what they want on the app. It might lead to some problems if we just start distributing peoples plug-ins from the forum on a separate app without permission, so if an app is made they should let the plug-in makers submit their plug-ins themselves.

2) If that's so, than explain MCPE add-ons and their success. Like I said, until something is implemented into the base game this would be the next best thing.

3) That one might be a bit complicated, but if someone creates an app like that they should probably get Lobby to help manage what is posted on the app. Maybe plug-ins would go through a submission process like how it works with a lot of MCPE content apps. Usually, they'll take submissions via email, see if it breaks their rules, and add it to their app if everything looks good.

I don't/didn't know about that one (2) but

1) if you want make that people can upload there own plugin to the shop
I might be wrong but I think you need to pay for hosting or something (I really don't know)

2) about copyright lobby might not have time to search if it's made by him or copyrighted all the time

But still kingtut has some points

Maybe it's a good idea but I can't decide

[KINGTUT10101]

Unfortunately, a server based system probably would cost money, but it's the cleanest way of doing this as far as I've figured out. Another way of doing it is by adding new plug-ins through constant updates, but like I said, it wouldn't be very clean.

[Bearbear76]

Yes
new feature = more money

[Luigi]

Like kingtut said it would need a separate app for this, i think this is cool

[Luigi]

but the game will become noticeable to a p2w

[waders]

That is why he proposes that the plugins be immediately in play. And that is a good idea
