Plugins, and their ability to update via svn

[la7eralus]

I've noticed a few of my plugins updating themselves when honorbuddy Is loaded via their svn repositories. I was wondering how hard it would be for me to implement this into the plugins I am using (not that I have written myself necessarily) so that they too remain up to date?

Would it just be a matter of copying the updater.cs file for Jmon (for example) and changing a few file names/locations? Is there a template somewhere to follow, or a guide I've failed to find using the search feature?

Thanks in advance!!

heres the problem, the plugin as well as anything else is in use, so just overriding the file wont work in most cases. if your not adapt with coding, then this would be almost impossible, since not only would you have to manually edit a bunch of files, but you would still have to do the hard work of making the files ready to get downloaded and updated. just me when i say, writing an internal updater is a long and hard process, and not something that would be worth your time, unless your building your own plugin from the ground up, to make sure everything works well with what your trying to do.

From what I learned so far, you could just reference about everything in your plugin's main.cs. If there is a new update, forbid accessing any code other than the main.cs and the updater.cs. This way, no other files should be in use. This method would still require a relaunch of HB.

and like i said, really only usefull for programmers, not end users.

Yep, not worth the effort. Right-click, re-svn and you're done.
