CSP Development Studio v2.1 now with plugin support
Homebrew application CSP Development Studio is really helpful especially for those who are still in the early stages of their coding careers. It is actually a Windows-based IDE to assist PSP developers in creating various programs.
Its owner, MániácX, dropped by QJ.NET’s PSP Development Forum recently to release a new build. Currently in version 2.1, the improvements added to this release may be small in quantity but their implications are quite varied and important. Here’s the complete changelog:
- Added support for LUA files
- Added Plugin support (for people making their own plugins!)
- Fixed bug in setup of environment variables
Regarding support for Lua files, MániácX mentioned that a Lua player has also been included in the CSP Development Studio Version 2.1 package. Also, take note that the plugin support now allows users to create and share plugins in DLL format which are make-able in VB.NET, C#, and C++ .NET.
If you are not quite sure how plugins work, a sample plugin was also provided by the developer to help you get started. This one was done using VB.NET and should convert all the text in the document to lower case. On a last note, the download includes a file named “PluginManager.dll”.
In the event that you encounter problems with it, MániácX suggested that a simple re-reference of the file should do the trick. A simple search in Google of “vb.net reference dll” will give you valid results.
