During a Studio session, LinkedSource should be able to access files on the PC and external websites. This allows for external editors + GitHub management to work better …
This feature should not extend into Online Mode, but be exclusive to Studio. If you publish a place containing a LinkedSource to a file on your PC or external URL, Studio should prompt you to either embed the Source to the place, or upload it as an Asset.
Support?
This doesn’t really sound like an ideal solution.
Do I have to resetup the linkedsource of every script in my game whenever I want to start working on it again?
I think the best idea for external editor support would be to allow directory mapping, so I can point to a folder called “game” which has a structure similar to my game structure.
I would like it so I can have a private plugin that I can update on github and only I can use it.
This is already possible using GitHub’s web api. A friend and I have been using it for source control on a project we have been working on.

I totally forgot about using Plugins, but it would be awesome to have this as a thing. That way … it’s just integrated. Don’t have to worry about using Plugins and etc.
(Though I’m probably going to make a Plugin now since I plan on using a Plugin to perform Updates and etc.)
Any chance this will become a thing?
