Merry Axmas!

There are a truckload of launchers which are too niche for critically acclaimed extension makers - so weirdos like me have something to practice on.

You probably heared of Space Station 13. If you didn't heared about SS13... don't be in a hurry then : )

It have a dedicated Playnite integration now! The plugin is as robust as the game is - and, as of v0.2, is fully ready for general audience.

Feature breakdown:
- adds Space Station 13 into your game library upon install,
- detects installed BYOND, if present - marks SS13 as installed,
- runs BYOND upon request to launch SS13
- properly opens Windows' Programs and Components menu on Uninstall attempt
- and if you lost your launcher installer somehow - Install button will bring you to the right place

What's NOT in the package:
- since most of us use IGDB anyway, I didn't inflated the code with custom metadata downloaders.
(- nor with authentification: if the player do have account - player do want the plugin. And the auth is an unnecessary step for free to play title based plugin anyway)

I had an awkward urge to include launch-ready server list - but there are too many and different players might prefer different servers...

Tested on Win10 x64, Playnite 9.14 (latest public release to date).
Plugin installer file:
.pext   SpaceStation13_0_2.pext (Size: 79.99 KB / Downloads: 127)
Code for pondering and blaming: its GitHub page.
Integration with unified plugins list (including web-list): available!

Please consider publishing add-on to our database, it makes it way easier for people to find, install and update add-ons.

Indubitably, eventually.

To be worthy of global plugins list, the plugin still needs proper uninstaller launch (just in case) + I really need to ponder install/uninstall watchers theme a bit more.
(at the very least)

People which discover plugins through that list _will_ need proper support of whole install>play>uninstall lifecycle (which is done now!)
