Other Clockwork Constructors - Construct your own items, factions, and plugins! (RELEASED)

holy shit props to you RJ, amazing

 

So I've been refactoring the website's code so that it'll be much easier to create new constructors by myself. That said I should be releasing the Plugin Constructor today this weekend if all goes well, maybe sooner than you'd think.

 

Golly I'm so bad at keeping to my release schedule because I keep on getting sidetracked on finding other things to program with the site lol, I can be too much of a perfectionist. That said, I'm giving fair warning that the Plugin Constructor release timeline may spill into this following week.

edit, mk 2: Now enjoy a picture!

So work on the Plugin Constructor is taking slightly longer than expected; partly because of me just not working on it, and further refactoring of the website's internal code. I've got most of the work finished, now I just have to make the constructor generate and zip the plugin's files/folders and then it should be ready for release!

Also, some more pictures:

You should add colors support for the plugin/author name!

 

That's a good idea!

 

Is this project still going on?

 

Yup.

 

I've gotten most of the Plugin Constructor functional. The plugin can be constructed and downloaded, but there's just a few more things to wrap up:
- To be finished: Ini file creation
- To be updated: Plugin Constructor's form (to include the description and version)
- To be resolved: Potential exploits

 

Construct Class?

 

What?

 

If in the future, will you add Construct Class?

 

As in, classes for factions? If you're talking about that, then yeah, more than likely.

 

I'll be putting more time in to this on Friday, so the Plugin Constructor should hopefully be ready for initial release that day.

 

A small progress update:

Spoiler

 

The Plugin Constructor for Clockwork Constructors has been released!

Feel free to leave some feedback or suggestions. Also pointing out potential exploits is much appreciated, I'll try to fix them ASAP when brought to my attention.

Creates items well but I seem to having trouble actually dropping the items.
This is not a valid command or alias!
Pops up every time I attempt to drop it or move it to a container, and yes I did check the box that said allow dropping.

 

Strange, I'll test out a constructed item to see if I get the same result. If I were to guess I'd say it's something to do with your installation, but I could be wrong.

I'm happy to have helped.

 

I think it may have been on my end, currently I have a dev server and the actual server. When the item was placed on the dev server it would not drop, but when on the actual server it was all good.

 

It's most definitely on your end then. I think the issue may be with regards to your item's model. Make sure that the .mdl file used by the item is within your server's files, or that you have the workshop addon properly loaded on your server with the model included in said addon.

I tested out an item just now and it was working properly.
