Supporting moddability in games made with bevy_fluent
So my game's structure might be something like this:
assets
mods
[mod_name]
data
events
localization
scripts
[mod_name]
data
events
localization
scripts
And since it might be hard to use std::fs
to scan folders on some platforms, I'd very much like it, if FluentServer
could get a load_folder()
function that would receive a language identifier (for example en-US
) and when I'll give it the path mods
it will load all localization files that are inside my mods folder and are related to the en-US localization, something like bevy's AssetServer
with its recursive load_folder()
.
I think it would require bevy_fluent
's .ron
files to have an extension other than .ron
. It might not be needed in a bevy 0.5 version if it'll happen, but it would be better in a 0.6 version probably because of this https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/2292 I think
What would your thoughts about such a feature be?
Thanks again for the crate!
Initially, I had plans to support this functionality (see implicit section). But then I gave it up because I couldn't find a good reason why I needed it. However, dynamically loadable modules/plugins are where this functionality are needed. But in the implementation, I ran into a number of difficulties. According to preliminary estimates, I think it will be implemented in one form or another.
I am phrasing my thoughts more precisely after the weekend.
yeah, don't worry about it :) I don't mean to pressure you, I'm currently thinking about pausing my moddable-game project anyway, so this issue is more of a question if it might ever be added haha. It could definitely wait for after 0.6 since it might be easier to do then hopefully.
