Info.lua

[NiLSPACE]

Since it's easier to read it might be smart to change to the Info.lua way of registering commands. I created a parser that generated this for me:

-- Info.lua

-- Implements the g_PluginInfo standard plugin description




g_PluginInfo =

}

It doesn't contain /xp though because the help string contains commas and my parser didn't like that ;)

Sorry but I didn't used this way of registering commands. If I use this way, I won't need to bind commands in main.lua anymore?

[NiLSPACE]

If you would use this method you would put

dofile(cPluginManager:GetPluginsPath() .. "/InfoReg.lua");

-- Initialize in-game commands:
RegisterPluginInfoCommands();

in the main.lua and you're done.

The main advantages are that it's easier to read for a developer and you can generate README files/forum posts with it

[bennasar99]

Done, hopefully all is well.
