For rabbit hunt, the 'rogue' value sets the total number That team, except for the limit on the total number of players. If a count is left blank then no limit is set for Sets the maximum number of players, total or per team. It's not // a function, therefore the lack of semi-colon here is NOT a typo.Provided by: bzflag-server_2.4.2+ds1-7_amd64 This is a macro defined by the BZFS API which registers this plug-in. Virtual void Event (bz_EventData* eventData) # include 'bzfsAPI.h' class ChatNotifier : public bz_Plugin Here's what the final plug-in would look like with a special note about BZ_PLUGIN(). Why so explicit? My plug-ins are never perfect the first time around and I always add more features, so I'd like to know which version is currently loaded on a server. I've adopted the practice of using the following pattern in my plug-ins. What's in a name? This name will be used in debug messages and /listplugins so what you return is up to you. This is a hypothetical plug-in that will be used on servers where only registered players are allowed to speak. I will be taking you through on building a plug-in that will notify unregistered players why they cannot speak. Building a Plug-in with Notification Type Events to 'Building a Plug-in with Notification Type Events' section When you build your plug-in, you'll need to plan out which events you will need. There are events available for the majority of things that happen on a server such as a player joining, leaving, dying, capturing a flag, etc. If you use the plug-in skeleton generator, you'll be able to check off which events you intend to use and it'll have documentation notes for you to use with what information is available in each event. Plugins are not limited solely to events but in this first chapter, that's what we'll be covering. API Events to 'API Events' sectionīZFlag plug-ins work (mainly) by defining callbacks for specific events depending on the purpose of the plug-in. This method is where the main behavior (our callbacks) of the plug-in is written. virtual void Event (bz_EventData* eventData) to 'virtual void Event (bz_EventData* eventData) ' section This method has a default implementation that calls Flush() automatically, however it's a good idea to always create this implementation so you don't forget remove custom registrations if you add any in the future of your plug-in development.

Call the Flush() function (to unregister your event callbacks).

This method is called whenever the plug-in is unloaded and is where you need to: Virtual void Cleanup () to 'virtual void Cleanup () ' section

In this method, we will need to do the following:

This method is where all of the plug-in configuration is done and is the method that is called when the plug-in is loaded. virtual void Init (const char* config) to 'virtual void Init (const char* config) ' section This method defines the name of the plugin and what will be returned in debug messages and when /listplugins is run. The four methods that each plug-in must define are the following: virtual const char* Name () to 'virtual const char* Name () ' section Plug-in Core + Setup to 'Plug-in Core + Setup' section For the rest of this tutorial, I'll be relying heavily on this generator.

I have a built an (opinionated) generator, which will build the skeleton of your plugin and will take care of all the configuration of everything. This should make sense as you continue to read further in this tutorial. For example, when I say there are three methods each plug-in must define I mean there are three methods that the plug-in's class must define. Moving forward in this tutorial, when the word 'plug-in' is used, it refers to the class that defines the plug-in's functionality. Right? In this first chapter, I'll be going over the structure of a plug-in while building our first sample plug-in.īZFlag plug-ins are written in C++ and each plug-in is a class which extends the bz_Plugin base class. Interstellar space pirate extraordinaire īack in 2015, I said I'd write this series.
