Default What are your plans about TRNG plugins?

It is not a request, it was my idea.

A public poll, it will never be expired.

EDIT:
It is perhaps hard to understand, so I help a bit:
"Programmer" doesn't mean you cannot build levels, it means you have a bigger knowledge to make a plugin than a "casual" level builder.

Here are Paolone's terms:


Quote:
Level builders
Here we find level builders that, having a good experience about advanced scripting (trng variables, conditional triggers, organizer) they have already programming abilities.
They have only to learn the syntax of new C++ functions and informative structures to create from scratch their plugin with new enemies, AI skills, vehicles ect.

Programmers
This is higher of "advanced" supposing that these programmers are able to program also in assembly language (other than C++, of course)
Using assembly language they can get access to low level code of tomb raider and patch it, rather creating only from scratch new features in C++ language.

Nice idea.
I definitely plan to make plugins, as a programmer. I started learning C++ last year, now I'm half way through it and I hope I'll be able to make something myself and share with the community.

I am glad to hear that.
I found IT interesting, however, I don't think I'll have time or mood nowadays to learn C++ seriously. Paolone's huge tutorial must be enough for me.
So I'd like to make plugins, only as a level builder, taking only the basics of C++. Naturally they will be made a priori to be public.

I don't plan on making plugins since programming is not a thing i'm interested, but i will definitely use plugins in my levels as i think this is a great way to expand TRNG. I can't wait for the very first plugins people will make.

I don't plan to make plugins, but i will use released plugins if they interest me.
NG script is good enough to me

Since I doubt I'll ever make plugins as a programmer, not knowing anything whatsoever about it at the moment, I voted for making plugins as a builder and releasing them at some point.

TBH the first 3 options are pretty useless poll options


Anyways, voted for 'I won't make plugins but I'll use them'.

No, if you are a user in those categories, and want to vote.

I voted "I plan to make plugins, as a level builder, and I will share it sooner or later."
I will probably make most of them for my level but I plan to release them for everyone once my level is done or I have no use for it anymore. I'll probably release the source code with them so people can modify them if they conflict with other plugins

Same here... Not sure about the need of programming right now, but maybe later (I already have some ideas which "maybe" can't be done without it)
