Plugins are modules for AutonomousKoi that are provided separately from AK itself. Plugins are restricted in what they can do; the can communicate with AK and other modules but they can't access other things on your computer. Ideally, all modules would be plugins but some modules require interacting with your computer in ways that aren't yet allowed for plugins. AK is constantly being expanded to allow more modules to be available as plugins.
Plugins are built in a special way that allows the same code to be run on Windows, Mac, and Linux. When you're downloading an AK plugin you don't need to download one specifically for your computer.
Installing
To install a plugin, first, save it to your computer. You'll notice it has a
.akplugin file extensions.
Next, with AK running click the AK icon in the system tray and select
Open data folder. There you'll find a folder called plugins.
Inside that folder you'll find a folder called install. Place the
downloaded .akplugin file inside the install folder.
Shutdown AK by clicking the AK icon in the system tray and selecting Quit. Start AK and your plugin should show up in the list.
Note: You can only have one version of a plugin installed
at a time. For example, you can have crunkify-v0.1.3.akplugin or
crunkify-v0.2.0.akplugin in the install folder but not
both.
Uninstalling
To uninstall a plugin, simply stop AK and move the .akplugin
file to somewhere other than the install folder.
