du-project README

This extension for Visual Studio Code provide some tools to manage code project for the game Dual Universe

There is a trello available to notify Bugs and Ideas: https://trello.com/b/Dnl4fPQ9/vs-code-du-project-extension

Features

This extension is to be used to make it easier to manage code projects for Dual Universe outside of the game. Using the built-in command we can display an HTML preview of Json files exported from the game, create projects folders and then recompile the project to Json in order to import it back into the game.

The files containing the code from the game should be named <projectName>.json

The folders containing the generated project with each .lua files are named du_<projectName>

Example of project structure :

du_project
│
└───Events
│
└───Methods
|
└───Slots
│   │
│   └───slot_<slotKey>_<slotName>
|       │   handler_<key>_<filter-action>_<filter-args>.lua
|       |
│       └───Type
|       |   │
|       |   └───Events
|       |   │
|       |   └───Methods

Dependencies

No dependencies has been defined for this extension but as it will generate .lua files it is recommended to have a Lua parser.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• duproject.isDebug: enable/disable the debug mode
• duproject.defaultWorkspace: specify a default workspace to be use to contain project by default (implementation to be done)

Known Issues

The method and event object are not defined yet, if the Json you try to parse contains such object the preview and/or generation of the project will fail.
