What means used by and works with?Solved
Posted 5 years ago
#1
What does it mean used by and works with ?

used by = Is it a part of this other plugin ?
works with = is it not conflicting with other plugin ?

or do they share data ? and could be "used by" the other plugin ?

used by = other plugins use it
works with = optionally uses other plugins

But is it already a part of the other plugin or just optionally used when u install this plugin ?

It means they can be used together for certain features.

Thx ^^ thats what i want to know

so "works with" means that the other plugin listed under "works with" is needed to get this plugin to work ? becasue it is using it data ?

or is "depends on" the only case that the other plugin is required listed below ?

depends on = that plugins depends on the other
works with = that plugin can use the other plugin for X

Okay but most times its just confusing if u know what i mean.

https://umod.org/plugins/server-armour

and

https://umod.org/plugins/player-administration

are from the same guy., but when u look onto the features and the "works with" its more confusing because in DESCRIPTION of the features it is telling you that this features are already implemented so the other plugins are NOT needed......

https://umod.org/plugins/steam-checks

https://umod.org/plugins/arkan

 

U know what i mean ? It seems in ur plugin repository, you have some things doubled and not tagged correctly those.... it is really confusing when a Plugin inlcuding another plugin but the other plugin is listed separately in plugin section......

So they need a NEW tag like "implemented/integrated/part of"

They probably mean that the features are already implemented into the plugin, however it has been made compatible with the other plugin in the case that you are using it to avoid conflicts, unexpected behaviour etc.

Each plugin isn't documenting if they work with another or not in terms of compatibility or if they share features, those specific tags are if they USE those plugins in some way. Just because another plugin has a similar feature, doesn't mean they should tag every other plugin that also does something similar.
