Nuget package with dlls for plugin development.

[edg-l]

This would allow plugin developers to add the references with one click. And also update them whenever a tshock release happens.

I currently have a nuget package with this but i think a official one would be better (?)

The dlls included would be:

• BCrypt.Net.dll
• HttpServer.dll
• Mono.Data.Sqlite.dll
• MySql.Data.dll
• OTAPI.dll
• TShockAPI.dll
• TerrariaServer.exe
• Newtonsoft.Json

I guess this should be done on another repostory, if you need a reference check this: https://github.com/Ryozuki/tshock-references Note: newtonsoft is outdated for the latest builds on my nuget package

This should be relatively straightforward to do. AV can also be set up to deploy .nuspec packages directly to nuget. Dunno about Travis

I personally dislike the idea of doing this as a Pryaxis thing. It's one thing to ship dlls to end users, but it's entirely different to redistribute them as libraries to other developers.

[QuiCM]

In fairness, we provide both OTAPI and TSAPI to developers - a nuget package would basically be a TShock SDK.

We should at least look at providing a developer package of binaries so people don't have to deal with separating them out of the application junk that you get from downloading a release

I think I forgot to comment on this. I would love this to be expedited and done ASAP.

And also TSAPI in nuget.

For anyone still struggling with this, I've found a temporary solution.

You would need .NET Core or .NET 5+(.NET Framework also works but .NET CLI is easier) and https://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/.

Follow the guide for Paket setup: https://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/get-started.html https://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/learn-how-to-use-paket.html

Then, set this as your paket.dependencies:

source https://nuget.org/api/v2

nuget Newtonsoft.Json 10.0.3

framework: net472

group HTTPDependencies

  http https://github.com/Pryaxis/TShock/releases/download/v4.5.5/TShock4.5.5_Terraria_1.4.2.3.zip TShock/TShock.zip

Be sure to change net472 to net462 or net45 depending on your targetting framework

Next, run dotnet paket install to fetch TShock. This will fetch and unzip TShock into $REPO_ROOT/paket-files/httpdependencies/github.com/TShock

Finally, you can use VS to add the references. Or you can add them directly to the csproj(Assuming the csproj is in 1 directory lower than the solution):

<Reference Include="OTAPI">
  <HintPath>..\paket-files\httpdependencies\github.com\TShock\OTAPI.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
