  • Am I right in understanding that the next C3 update will deactivate all existing plugins?

    What to do with plugins that are no longer supported by their authors?

  • I can't get rid of at least five of them and some of them are no longer supported.

    It looks like I won't be able to update C3 anymore.

  • In principle, I am completely satisfied with C3 in its current form, with export to different OS for steam. I am only worried about possible bug fixes.

  • You are one of the best candidates to use LTS releases.

    I believe the build service will update independently, but in parallel with the main releases. Hence, updates will also benefit the LTS releases.

    I see some of my plugins there, though. On my part, I have already updated all plugins to SDK v2. I'm just finishing up testing with the alpha testers, and it should be good to go soon. I had to hold out after finding out the migration wasn't always a direct port.

    For the rest of your plugins, I guess that's what the LTS releases are for. I have plugins that the authors have already abandoned, and I'm thinking about porting them myself.

  • On the current schedule, SDKv1 addons will continue to be supported in all releases up to around June/July, when the next Long Term Support (LTS) release will come out. That LTS release will continue to support SDKv1 addons, and will be officially supported for 18 months. So official support will continue for around 2 years from now. You can even continue to use that LTS release past the end of official support, but it won't be updated nor will we provide support for that release any further beyond the end of its 18 month support period.

    The latest release allows auto-updating addons from the Addon Manager, so install any available updates as many addons may have already been updated for SDKv2. In some cases there may be alternative addons or features you can use instead - for example perhaps Advanced Random can replace BHT Smart Random, perhaps you can get rid of jQuery, File (WebView2) is now replaced by the built-in File System plugin so you can likely replace that, Greenworks is superseded by Steamworks but also the latest version of Greenworks supports SDKv2, Valerypopoff Ease could be replaced by the built-in Tween, etc. Failing that, contact the addon developer for an update.

  • Chadori, thanks for the reply. That's right, LTS is a good idea.

    I think, for example, it's not hard to update Rex's Simplex yourself, I've just never done it.

    On the current schedule, SDKv1 addons will continue to be supported in all releases up to around June/July, when the next Long Term Support (LTS) release will come out.

    Ashley, thank you very much. I think that's what I wanted to hear. No rush jobs.
