Si vous utilisez des plug-ins, vous ne pourrez pas rejoindre d'autres joueurs a moins que vous ayez les mêmes plugins que vous.
Programmer dans Resonite est fait avec ProtoFlux mais ce n'est pas la seule manière. Resonite a un système de plug-ins que vous pouvez utiliser.
Un plug-in est un fichier DLL compilé et écrit en C# qui peuvent être chargés dans Resonite au lancement.
Lignes directrices des plug-ins
A la création d'un plug-in, gardez a l'esprit:
- Les plug-ins ne doivent pas permettre aux joueurs de contourner les lignes directrices.
- Ceci inclus: vol d'asset, harcèlement etc.
- Les plug-ins doivent suivre la règle du "ne faites pas de mal"
Limitations des plug-ins
Les plug-ins ont certaines limitations:
- If you use plugins you will not be able to join other players, unless they have the same plugins.
- There is no built-in distribution system. You are in charge of distribution
- Plugins may break in between builds of Resonite and therefore require frequent updates.
Writing a Plugin
To get started writing a plugin follow these steps:
- Download Visual Studio Community edition.
- During installation, check of the .NET desktop development workload which will give you the >NET Framework 4-4.6 development tools
- Create a new Library project
- Add references to some Resonite libraries from the installation folder:
- FrooxEngine.dll - Found in Resonite/Resonite_Data/Managed/FrooxEngine.dll
- Elements.Core.dll - Found in Resonite/Resonite_Data/Managed/Elements.Core.dll
- Start writing!

Using / Testing a Plugin
When running Resonite with a plugin you must use Command Line Arguments.
The Command Line Argument -LoadAssembly <path> will load additional Assemblies / DLLs when used to launch Resonite.
Plugin Recommendations
Firstly, double check, if you 'need a plugin. Most common scenarios can be done within Resonite using ProtoFlux or Components. These items might seem scary for newer users but their possibilities are quite endless. Common things that might need plugins include:
- Integration of Third Party Hardware or Devices - You can potentially use WebSockets or HTTP for this, but if not a plugin may be needed
- Research / Science Applications - If your scenario requires some advanced integration with a science/educational background one may be needed
- Automation - If you need to automate a process within Resonite such as batch processing of assets or data
