Updating Plugins

Manual File Replacement

Updating plugins is a straightforward process, simply replace the old .dll with the newly updated one.

The same process applies to dependencies that plugins may depend on. To find if a plugin has any dependencies, consult the plugin's documentation.

Caution

If the name of a plugin change between updates, you will have to make sure to back up or delete the old .dll file.

Otherwise, you might end up loading two different instances of the plugin on your server, which will very likely cause problems.

Read the Installation Guide for more information on how to properly download plugins and find the [[plugins folder | Installing-Plugins#install-plugins]].

Updating Plugin Configs

After updating a plugin, its configuration file will update with any newly added settings. This happens automatically after the first restart.

Additionally, settings that may have been removed from the plugin will disappear automatically.

Game Updates

When a new version of the game is released, plugins are not guaranteed to work and may require to be updated by its author (or anyone with the ability to make a new build).

The reason why this happens is due to certain functionalities a plugin may use being changed or removed.

Because of this, the only way to know if a plugin will need a rebuild after a game update is by knowing exactly which features it uses, and whether the update has modified them in any way.
