So which files should we be looking at here? Which ones did you write? Could you please post a short description about the pieces of code you did write? I don't have a login so I didn't check -did you find resources for writing this plugin (like the interface headers) at that site?
This can all be very helpful for anyone else interested in writing a plugin (like myself).
None.
Almost everything is based on SI's sample plugin code.
What I did is:
- Plugin version : 1 -> 2
- Made interface for string table related functions. SI_VirtSCStringTable methods are not working anymore.
You should see RunPlugin function inside Scmdraft Plugin.cpp
Inside it, I've written a simple example for what I've found so far. Basic string manipluation, Getting unit names/location names.
It seems like that SCMDraft2 plugin system is strictly designed to support TrigEdit.
Every supported functions are used by TrigEdit, and are only suitable to create another Trigger Editor.
+
...
int findindex = StringTable_FindString(stb, str);
printf("(should be the same) %d %d\n", test_stringid, findindex); /// THIS
const char* str2 = StringTable_GetString(stb, findindex);
...
Two number printed on there can be different if duplicate strings exists inside map.
Summay) See scmdraft plugin.cpp -> RunPlugin function.
Every string is reference-counted, and you'll have to manually dereference it if you need.

Great thanks a lot. This helps.
Yeah I always imagined the plugin system was specifically for trigedit, since nothing else was ever made. Nonetheless I'll see if I like it all and perhaps I'll make something
None.
Took another look and decided I don't have any time to devote to this, too many other things to finish.
However, if someone (trgk) were to write a plugin that could load triggers from a string I'd be extremely grateful! What I'd like to do is:
Press button in SCMDraft and have it run the plugin. If I had code to load triggers into SCMDraft from string, I could run LIT and read LIT's output triggers.

I wonder how creating plugin with scmdraft2 plugin system can be harder than building one with ChkDraft.

My trigger format is different from that of scmdraft2.
I'll open source my trigger editor once it's completed.
+ I refactored the plugin base. See the main post

Example trigger editor source code.
I've not yet finished this, but it's already in usable level.
This plugin decodes your trigger into lua script.
You modify lua script, and this program will compile it to triggers.
Compiled plugin : TrigEditPlus.sdp. Put this inside (SCMDraft2 folder)\Plugin\
Source code : TrigEditPlus.zip
I used Lua because I was to lazy to make another script engine. No relation with LIT.
Usage : Push TrigEdit++ button & after popup, open trigeditplus.lua at scmdraft2 directory. (It should be opened automatically, but if not.)
Modify it & save. Push compile button.
Error -> Modify again and press yes / No to not compile.
