CounterStrikeSharpTemplates

Description

CounterStrikeSharpTemplates is a thoughtfully designed template set for kick-starting your plugin development for the great CounterStrikeSharp. The templates offer foundational structures and useful functions, along with pre-configured GitHub workflows, making the initiation of plugin development a breeze. With adaptable templates and an automated version control system, it caters to both beginners and experienced developers alike.

Installation

1. Install the .NET 8.0 SDK.
2. Install the templates package:

dotnet new install CounterStrikeSharpTemplates

Usage

Currently available templates:

• default: сreates a basic plugin template.
• config: сreates a plugin template that includes a configuration.
• lang: сreates a plugin template that includes a language.
• configlang: сreates a plugin template that includes both a configuration and a language.
• datamysql: сreates a plugin template that includes a database (MySQL), language, configuration, and commands.

You can also add your own templates.

To specify a template type, use --t:

dotnet new cssharp -n MyPlugin --t config

To create a new basic project (using the default template), just:

dotnet new cssharp -n MyPlugin

For GitHub integration (which provides GitHub workflows, .gitignore, etc.), add --g:

dotnet new cssharp -n MyPlugin --g

Customize with --np (plugin name) and --ap (author):

dotnet new cssharp -n MyPlugin --t datamysql --g --np "My Plugin" --ap "Author Name"

Local Compilation

For local compilation in Visual Studio Code, you can use the hotkey Ctrl + Shift + B. This will trigger the build task defined in the tasks.json file.

To have the plugin compiled directly into your server folder, replace the line in the .vscode/tasks.json file:

"compiled/CSSharpTemplates"

with your own path, for example:

"D:/cs2-server/game/csgo/addons/counterstrikesharp/plugins/CSSharpTemplates"

Versioning

Push commit messages with #major, #minor, or #patch to update the plugin's version (when --g is used):

git commit -m "add new feature #minor"

For manual version specification, use the workflow_dispatch option in the GitHub Actions tab.

Environment Variables

In dotnet.yml, modify these variables as needed:

• PLUGIN_NAME: your plugin's name (please do not use spaces).
• DOTNET_VERSION: .NET version (default is 8.0.x).
• PATH_PLUGIN: plugin path (default is addons/counterstrikesharp/plugins/).
• START_VERSION: starting version (default is 1.0.0).
• USE_V_VERSION: prefix the version number with a 'v' (default is true).

Adding Your Own Template

To add your own template, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Delfram99/CounterStrikeSharpTemplates.git
   

2. In the content/templates directory, create a new directory for your template. For example, if your template is named "example", create a directory named example and place all the necessary template files in it.

3. In the content/.template.config/template.json file, find the "choices" section under "t". Add a new choice for your template. For example:

   {
       "choice": "example",
       "description": "example description."
   }
   

4. In the "sources" section, add a new source with a condition for your template. For example:

   {
       "source": "templates/example",
       "target": "./",
       "condition": "(t == 'example')"
   }
   

5. Before installing the new template, you need to uninstall the existing one to avoid conflicts:

   dotnet new uninstall CounterStrikeSharpTemplates
   

6. Install the new template:

   dotnet new install . --force
   

Conclusion

In the future, additional templates will be added as needed. If you have any ideas on how to improve or modify these templates to make plugin development even easier, please let me know.
