Hi,
I'm working on a launcher who let users download games from a server inside a LAN (for LAN party). While looking for something else, I found this launcher, so much better than mine and with the possibility to add functionality via plugins.
My first question is pretty simple, I don't have read the documentation entirely yet, but I read that it's not possible to import game library with scripting langage, but, in exemples, I can see something look like adding games library from ScummVM, via it's config file. So, if my game list come from a Json file, for exemple, that should be possible?
If yes, what about downloading the game? It's possible do add custom function to download a game via the download button (with loading bar, eventually, ect) with PowerShell or IronPython script?
I also would like to know if is it possible to add more informations about the game (number of max players, size of the game, ect) with scripting langage (all these informations are in the json file)?
Last question, for now, always with the scripting langage, is it possible to add custom button with custom function? Like special instruction for a game to work well in LAN (for exemple: opening a simple dialog box with instructions who come from the json file) or a dialog box with these special instruction juste before the game start (I can see that it's possible to add custom PowerShell script for each game, but I would like to set this feature inside the plugin directly, not with custom code to add manually for each game that need special instructions).
Thanks
