All plugins reside within their own Ruby Module, within the main AresMUSH module. There are special conventions around module names, as explained in Plugins, but generally it should be a capitalized name of your plugin folder.
The module must include two special methods - one to help the game find the plugin files, and another to tell it the plugin’s command shortcuts.
The create plugin script creates a file named aresmush/plugins/cortex/cortex.rb. It will have a module like the following with a few methods inside it, including these:
module AresMUSH
module Cortex
def self.plugin_dir
File.dirname(__FILE__)
end
def self.shortcuts
Global.read_config("cortex", "shortcuts")
end
end
end
We’ll add more code to this module later. For now it’s enough just to know it exists.
