== Creating a New Resource == | |||
==== Add your resource to server.xml ==== | |||
Open file "server.xml" in a text editor, such as Notepad or Notepad++. The file is found in your root server directory.<br> | |||
Scroll down to the "<resources>" tag, which is currently at the bottom of the xml file.<br> | |||
Add a "<resource>" tag inside the "<resources>" tag, and give it an attribute with the name "src" and a value of the name of your new resource.<br> | |||
For example: | |||
{{CodeSyntax|1=<resources> | |||
<!-- you will need to put the resources in the folder before any work --> | |||
<resource src="freeroam" /> | |||
<resource src="my_new_resource" /> | |||
</resources>}} | |||
==== Create folder for your resource ==== | |||
Open the "resources" folder, which is found in your root server directory.<br> | |||
Create a new folder called "my_new_resource". | |||
==== Create meta.xml for your resource ==== | |||
Create a file called "meta.xml" inside your "my_new_resource" folder.<br> | |||
Add the following XML text to your meta.xml file:<br> | |||
{{CodeSyntax|1=<meta> | |||
<info author="your_username_here" description="Description for your new resource here." /> | |||
<script src="my_server_script.js" type="server" language="javascript" /> | |||
<script src="my_client_script.js" type="client" language="javascript" /> | |||
</meta>}} | |||
==== Edit meta.xml for your resource ==== | |||
Fill in the defaults for the <info> tag, which include the author and description attributes.<br> | |||
A resource doesn't need to have both server and client scripts, however this example includes both.<br><br> | |||
A <script> tag is needed for each script (file) in your resource.<br> | |||
The src attribute for the <script> tag, is the filename of a script, which will be inside your "my_new_resource" folder.<br> | |||
A script can also be in a folder, or a folder in a folder, etc, inside your "my_new_resource" folder.<br><br> | |||
The type attribute for the <script> tag, can be either "server" or "client".<br> | |||
Server scripts run on the server, client scripts run on the client.<br> | |||
Different scripting functionality is provided for the server and the client.<br><br> | |||
The language attribute for the <script> tag, can be "javascript", "lua", or "squirrel".<br> | |||
A resource can use multiple languages, if desired.<br> | |||
It is also possible to transfer data between different languages, both in the same resource or in different resources, if desired.<br><br> | |||
