hi Hans-Peter,
really a good idea for building own simple plugins quickly...

just one hickup: when running the example pub I'm getting several errors, for example

Cannot open file C:\Programme\Neobook5\Plugins\hpwPlayActio\MyCustomPlugin.cfw
etc.

Seems to think that my Neobook is installed in C: which is not the case

Hello Alf,

Known problem with wish here:

http://www.neosoftware.com/forum/viewto ... mbedded%2A

So re-embed the files:
My1CustomCommandSec1.txt
My2CustomCommandSec1.txt
My3CustomCommandSec1.txt
MyCustomPlugin.cfp

Maybe it a future nb-version it will work!

Hans-Peter,

You did not describe this plugin in depth but I just now looked at it and it looks very interesting. I will take more time to look at it but after reading the Word Docs you include, I am still not clear.

Am I correct to say that I can create a series of actions (in essence a page on a NB app) that can be "compiled" as a plugin file that others can then install as a plugin and add parameters to the scripts via the NB Script Editor/IDE?

This script's contents can be encrypted and the plugin can then be distributed for others to use. Correct?

Essentially, this offers an alternative to the other plugin that allowed subroutines but required a 'player' application to be run.

As stated by Gaev:

... also, I have an outstanding request/suggestion to "convert Function library file(s)" into "stand-alone compiled/binary plug-ins" ... which would also enable "easy swapping of plug-ins" within an application/exe ... plug-ins created from your Function library files.

This was written before this new plugin was released. Do you believe you have accomplished this with your plugin to create plugins?

Thanks for your creative efforts shared generously to us all.

Yes. You describe your commands (For the config dialog) in your INI-file and that gets delivered to your customer/developer. The final end user of the developer does not need/see that INI-file. Only the bare runtime info is stored in the resource-section.

This script's contents can be encrypted and the plugin can then be distributed for others to use. Correct?

Yes. Powerscripter's to the front!

Essentially, this offers an alternative to the other plugin that allowed subroutines but required a 'player' application to be run.

Yes, but there is still the difference in speed. Real native compiled plugin-commands are faster. The scripts are still interpreted as in native neobook. Of cource the renamed MyNewPlugin.nbr is distributed!

This was written before this new plugin was released. Do you believe you have accomplished this with your plugin to create plugins?

Not exatcly, but similar. Gaev has given ideas and whishes for this latest plugin. (the evolution from MyCustomPlugin to MyEmbeddedPlugin)

A final step could be, to get the resource binding process away from external toolchain to internal functions of hpwEncode. But since that is fairly complex and ResourceHacker serves fine on that, I think there might be other interesting stuff with higher priority.

Just released hpwPlayAction 1.11 / MyCustomPlugin 1.04 / MyEmbeddedPlugin 1.02:

http://www.hpwsoft.de/anmeldung/html1/n ... book8.html

Fix: All 3 plugins no more publish [hpwNBVersion] on init.

It got obsolete by [NeoBookVersion] and show up in debugger even when the plugin is not used. This fix this.

Just released hpwEncode 1.06:

http://www.hpwsoft.de/anmeldung/html1/n ... book8.html

Just released a new ZIP:

http://www.hpwsoft.de/anmeldung/html1/n ... book8.html

MyEmbeddedPlugin.nbp renamed to MyEmbeddedPlugin.tnbp
MyEmbeddedPlugin.nbr renamed to MyEmbeddedPlugin.tnbr

The new extension reflect that they are template-files.

Please delete this files:
MyEmbeddedPlugin.nbp
MyEmbeddedPlugin.nbr

They crash neobook when accidently installed.

Haha, yes I experienced that when I attempted to act before reading your instructions which clearly said not to do that.

Thanks for the update.
