Construct 3 Addon Exchange

Hey, that's a really cool idea. I wonder if I can make it auto-generate that from the addon file. I might try that today.

Well, you might be interested in this:

https://github.com/armaldio/c2-addon-parser

armaldio made a thing that retrieves ACEs from c2 addons and generates a .md file from github.

(Edit: Btw, I can't upload images for C2 addons. The same issue that I had yesterday with C3, but now with C2)

Tom Is there a way for plugin creators to add example and demo files as well? That would be really helpful. I tried the Javascript plugin, and can't figure out how it works without any example file. Sometimes example files are way more useful than documentation.

ACE's are now detected an automatically listed for Construct 3 plugins. This will not be extended for C2 for the time being.

Example:

https://www.construct.net/gb/make-games/addons/29/queue/aces

tunepunk not a bad suggestion, will look at implementing this.

Just a suggestion I think may be useful. Right now the add on page only show plugins that are for c2 and c3. What happens when the new runtime for C3 comes out. Should you also maybe indicate in the tab which runtime the add on is for ?

Maybe you plan on doing that when the runtime is out, but I just thought I would throw it out there.

The button "ACEs" redirects to the main plugin page ^^

But that's great

Thanks, is now fixed!

Yes, there will be another flag to indicate if it works with the new C3 runtime or not this has already been designed.

Nice updates. Just wanted to suggest publishing a blog post to inform all users about this new Addon Exchange database.

I'm sure there are quite a lot of people that don't frequently check the forums and only check blog posts.

(Once

Tom is completely done working on it of course. )

Yes will be doing a blog post! Lot's are scheduled though, so will be in a week or two.

Addons can now have up to three demo files attached.

Thanks Tom Awesome! That's really helpful.

Good job.

An issue I seem to have ran into (with FF) was browsing later pages (page 7 for example) and then trying to hide official/built in addons by clicking the check box in the left column and "Update".

I was expecting to see only "third-part" addons, but instead, no addon at all was displayed.

I reset the page by clicking the Addon tab on top and went again for the checkboxes and "Update". On the first page, it displayed the third-part addons only, as expected.

Otherwise, seems to work pretty good so far.

I'm looking forward to see addons authors put more content in those.

Thanks Kyatric, is a bug I'll fix!
