VastPark PluginFramework¶

Now available via Nuget

The VastPark.PluginFramework library aims to simplify the amount of work developers need to do in order to write plugin code for VastPark.

Reusable network and input controllers are included, as is a base class that implements IPluginComponent with virtual methods (the VastPark plugin interface).

PluginBase¶

When creating a plugin that uses the VastPark.PluginFramework library, you'll want to inherit your class from PluginBase, which implements the required framework interfaces IPluginComponent and IParkObject. Additionally, PluginBase sets up an ILogProvider on disk and supports the addition and removal of IController instances to the plugin update cycle:

Each incoming message is routed into the receiver associated with that specific client:

When a client disconnects, the receiver is removed:
