Mod and Plugin Policy

Introduction

Resonite users are allowed to develop, distribute, and install plug-ins and mods (hereafter “modifications”), to modify and expand Resonite’s behavior. This policy details guidelines and policy involving them.

Policy Adherence

All modifications and users using them must comply with other existing policies, in particular pay special attention to:

Breaking these policies, with or without modifications, may lead to account restrictions or a termination of service.

Support

Users

For users of modifications, as these are created by 3rd parties, we are unable to provide support. We recommended reaching out to the creators of the modifications for support.

Developers

For developers of modifications, we’re also unable to provide support currently.

However, If you come across issues that you think we need to fix, we do still encourage you to make an issue. Please make your issues especially detailed and try to generalize things away from your specific code.

This enables our team to isolate the issue from your modification.

Modification Guidance

While our other policies outline things in detail, we want to highlight some specific items for clarity:

Asset Protection Circumvention
- Anything that circumvents our asset protections is not allowed.
Moderation Circumvention
- Anything that circumvents either platform or session moderation is not allowed.
Abusing Security Issues
- Anything that takes an existing or potential security issue and uses it is not allowed.
Respect Other Users
- Anything that adversely affects other user's experiences or sessions is not allowed.
Once again, anything that breaks our other policies is not allowed.

Distribution Guidance

As covered in our EULA, redistribution of Resonite, FrooxEngine, or any of its components is not allowed. However, there are some exceptions that we've made to aid modification developers.

Reference Assemblies

We allow the distribution of Reference Assemblies created by modification developers. These assemblies are allowed to contain non-public members or be publicized.

This also includes items that can be generated from these assemblies such as:

IPC Bindings
Interface/Struct Layouts

We hope to publish official reference assemblies with each build in the future. This would likely be a part of Molecule

Open Source

Any of our open source components are exactly that: open source. Ensure the license for each individual open source component is adhered to.

Alternative Renderers

Provided you comply with all other policies, you are allowed to make custom/alternative renderers.
