Venice Unleashed

Are there any modding tutorials out yet? I am in the process of learning C#, and would like to start getting into this modding scene.

Not yet, but you can check out this sample mod in the meantime: https://github.com/EmulatorNexus/Advanced-Chat
It's done in Lua btw, not C#.

"VeniceEXT mods (extensions) are basically .NET assemblies loaded by the server on startup, and can be created in any a variety of CLI compliant languages, including C#, Visual Basic .NET, and C++/CLI (more details on how to implement extensions, along with examples will be posted on the VU wiki)."

But according to the quote posted above from the modding part 1 blog. It says that we can use C#, Visual Basic and C++. Or does it only mean that the modding tools are being created in these languages? Could you please clarify?

Will it be possible to make mods in C#?

From "Mod Support is Here!":
"As a slight deviation from our original plan to use managed .NET modules for mod support, we have decided to integrate and use LUA, a language which is really easy to learn and get used to, performs really well for our use cases, and has a huge community behind it."

And to answer your question, no, you won't be able to make mods in .NET (C#). VeniceEXT mods will be created exclusively in Lua.

Ah isee now, thanks. BTW is there any good beginner tutorials that i can look at to get a feel of modding in LUA?

Well, you could theoretically make your own C# compiler in Lua (If you REALLY REALLY LOVE C#) , but it does require LuaFFI (it's going to be easier with it)

Like this ... Lua compiler in ... Lua


Too bad we won't have acces to LuaFII/Native Module support.

(It's Lua btw, not LUA)
