🔨 Building

The plugin is written in TypeScript and requires compiling to JavaScript before it can be used in OpenRCT2. Ensure you have NodeJS and a package managed such as npm installed, then run the following:

npm install
npm run build

Then copy out/devtools.js to your OpenRCT2 plugin directory.

If you want to automatically update the plugin when you edit and save the TypeScript code, you can run:

npm run watch

This will watch for changes to the source code in the background and automatically compile and copy the plugin to your OpenRCT2 directory. This is currently only configured for Windows.

Make sure you have hot reload enabled in OpenRCT2 so that OpenRCT2 will automatically reload the plugin.
