You would set your PlugIn variables here, and they will be exposed to GameEx. You can set the version number of your plugin, author name, app name, and many other variables.

PLEASE NOTE: Although you can change the PluginVersion to 1.40, you will lose a few variables. The 1.40 is only for legacy, and should not be used (stick with 1.41).
Also, as of version 1.41, only PlugInType.Emulator is supported by the application.


Variables

Below is a reference of the variables> available in this structure:

Variable[Value]Description
Name[string]The name of your plugin as it will appear in the PlugIn Manager.
Version[string]The build number of your plugin as it will appear in the PlugIn Manager.
Author[string]Your name as it will appear in the PlugIn Manager.
Description[string]A brief description of your plugin as it will appear in the PlugIn Manager.
PlugInType[PlugInType]The type of plugin you are creating.
•NOTE• Only PlugInType.Emulator is supported at this time!
PlugInVersion[string]The version of the PlugIn framework you are targeting.
•NOTE• 1.40 is intended for legacy mode only! Use 1.41 instead!
