TRIA.os Plugin Suite

plugin_icon_big

[TRIA] Plugin Suite was designed to improve the entire mapmaking process. From scripting with the comprehensive maplib, to finding audio, and using the many object types and events that TRIA offers, this plugin helps streamline the mapmaking process to make it as easy as possible, for new and experienced map makers of any kind.

This plugin has been completely redesigned and rebuilt from the ground up to better support the future of TRIA.os during the past 6 months. The old plugin’s biggest flaw was that each major (and sometimes minor) updates to the game would require weeks of updating for the plugin to barely work, which is no longer the case. The Interface was also not up to standards with its quality and design, and received a complete redesign supported by fusion.

WHATS NEW?

For those unfamiliar, the plugin currently offers a set of features:

  • Resources page to find all resources for mapmaking: map kits, featured addons, and map components.
  • Settings selector to easily change your maps settings
  • Object & Event Tags to easily set, remove, and modify the metadata for all tria.os object types.

The new plugin introduces 3 (and soon to be 4) major features never seen before, as well as major improvements to the existing features.

1) Debug View Modes

View Modes gives you the ability to visualize which parts have functionality within your map. From seeing every part thats tagged with Low Detail in real time, to getting a real time visualization of ziplines, to seeing what every single game object is, debugging your maps has never been easier!

2) MapLib Script Editor Integration

Some of the largest points of feedback that we have heard was that scripting maps is a challenge, due to the size of the maplib and the avaliable documentation. This will enable realtime autocomplete full of functions w/ arguments, descriptions, and code samples!

3) Audio Library Integration

The audio library has been reimagined to bring it directly into studio! Enjoy the ability to search through the real-time updating library of 300 (and growing!) audios by name and creator, aswell as the abillity to preview audios in studio!

4) Map Manager V2.0 (coming soon)

Coming soon, the map manager in game will be removed and will be integrated directly into studio! Whitelist, publish, and update your maps directly into studio without having to break your workflows by doing this directly from studio.

More information will be revealed when this feature is ready to launch.

Other than brand new features, the plugin brings numerous new features and improvements to the existing features:

  • The entire UI has been completely designed to be more intuitive, user friendly, and consistent.
  • Map selection has been completely overhauled to support automatic map detection, more intuitive map selection process, and the abillity to select ungrouped maps! Even better, grouping / ungrouping will not effect your abillity to use the plugin, as it detects and adjusts for when this happens!
  • The Colorwheel and color view for Color datatypes has been completely redesigned to support a better colorwheel, HSV, and how HEX!
  • The Popup Message UI has been redesigned to offer response functions that can do stuff and to give more user feedback

Object / Event Tags Menu:

  • The object tags menu has been redesigned to be more responsive, give more feedback, and much more user friendly!
  • The tooltips for each object type have been rewritten to be more informative on what everything does!

Map Settings:

  • The map settings menu has been completely redesigned into collapsable categories!
  • Dropdowns have been redesigned to allow for a preview (when applicable) for settings and to make custom settings much more intuitive.
  • Custom liquid types can be created and renamed directly from the settings menu!

Resources Menu:

  • The resources menu has recieved a UI overhaul majorly improving its design
  • New: FEATURED ADDONS! Featured addons are resources created by created by members of the community that provide useful use to mapmakers.
    • Do you use Waterjet addons? The plugin supports featureed addons are automatically integrated (when applicable)) with the plugins Object Tag and View Mode menus!
      (old versions of the addons are not supported with this feature)
    • The current set of Featured Addons are Waterjets (by Kris & not_grif), TUNE (by Ethan 76167), and Jump Measurement (by TechnocraticAvaition)
  • loads of bug fixes!

AUDIO SUBMISSION

Does our audio library not offer any tracks you want to use? You can submit your own audio for use!

Information about the audio sumbission progress can be found in the TRIA discord. A link to the discord can be found in the description of TRIA.os for those who are 13+. Head over to #audio-verification for more information.
