[Request] Plugin Compile + Initialize BEFORE START and LOGIN

[sinterlkaas]

changelog for 204:

Moved plugin loading to before profile loading on bot startup.

It would be nice to have the plugins compile before the bot even is started by -autostart or click Start...
so I can actually make use of my Authenticator plugin ..

Mmm, to be honest when I saw that in the changelog I thought that's what they were going to do. It feels like the change that got made was fairly redundant, and didn't fix all the issues with command-line loading etc. which was the point of the change.

Indeed I came back from my holiday and noticed the change was really minor and found out it was a totally different change than expected

There was no point in the change, the outcome is still the same =(

Separate plugin compiler! But yeah, compiling should be the very first thing it does.

Gonna +1 to this. Lack of a working relogger due to compilation issues is severely affecting my ability to AFK!

With before login I mean before D3 login not DB login ofc

 

[teivovo]

Agreed~! up this^

Not gonna happen.

You guys don't need access to the API before we've confirmed logins and setup the memory stuff. Plain and simple, what you have now is about as good as you're going to get.

Have the relogger creators fix the working directories.

I think they mean compiling/initiazing the plugins after all the confirmed logins/memory stuff. Or make the login to battle.net last.

For example:

1. DB starts
2. Initializing/confirming if DB login key is legit and setting up memory stuff
3. Check for DB updates and all other stuff
4. etc
5. etc.
6. etc.
7. load/compile/initialize plugins
8. start battle.net login process

All the etc, means I don't know what else goes in between =), but it's like an example to put the battle.net login last. So the plugins know where to enter in the username and password. The issue is that with reloggers, they don't know how/where to enter in the username and password before the battle.net login process on the very first run because it hasn't been compiled/initialized yet. Hope that makes senses.
