Module

Erweiterung der Funktionalitäten der nanos world Scripting API

Module erlauben es Ihnen, die Funktionalität der nanos world scripting API auf der Serverseite zu erweitern. Derzeit werden nur C-Module unterstützt.

Beachten Sie, dass dieser Teil der Skripting-API derzeit in Arbeit ist und sich jederzeit ändern kann.

Creating your own C module​

It is also possible to you create your own C/C++ module and call it's functions from nanos world.

caution

This is an advanced procedure so instabilities and even crashes may occur.

To create your own module, fist make sure you have Visual Studio installed with Desktop development with C++ (and CMake) or any other C compiler on Linux.

First Steps​

  1. Then, clone our example module in your computer to get start with it.
  2. After cloning, you will need to download it's submodules with git submodule update --init --recursive - this will download the module-sdk as a git submodule into deps/ folder automatically.

Understanding the example​

The important file is under src/example.cpp:

src/example.cpp
loading...

Compiling your C module​

To compile the example, follow the steps:

  1. Create a folder called build/: mkdir build.
  2. Enter the build folder: cd build.
  3. Run cmake ...
  4. Build it with cmake --build . --config Release

And now you will have the dlls/libs in build/Release folder.

Using your C module​

Now copy the .dll file into your nanos world Server/Modules folder.

And in your Package, you can load and use it like:

-- Loads the module 'example'
local example = require('example')

-- Calls the module function 'test'
-- Will print 'Hello World' on console
Package.Log(example.test())
