Free Models. Save the script as a model and change it to [NAME].lua and do the same thing? |

What exactly is Base64? |

"Free Models. Save the script as a model and change it to [NAME].lua and do the same thing?'
Except that a Plugin is more than just a script, it's a collection of many script and image files. |

But there's no use for tons of image files. Yet. If and when they add support for resource integration, I predict image file counts will increase. |

"If and when they add support for resource integration"
What I would suggest as an API:
local res = Plugin:GetResourceString("image / mesh / script / sound")
Where "res" contains a string that can be used like any other asset-id. It does this by creating a new copy of the asset in the asset-cache directory with a name based on a hash of the name/contents of the original. |

So... perhaps they'd create a new protocol also, except they'd create a hash linked to a cached asset that is your resource? Like rbxres://hashHere |

@blocco
It would have to be done with some AP{I of the Plugin like I described. They couldn't do something like "plugin://filename.ext", because that way the resource loader would have no idea which plugin is being referred to. The implementation is already there to push an asset into the cache (It used to be used by the things when you used a file-path, rather than an asset-id), so it would likely be trivial to make a function to access that implementation in the Plugin object. |

@XLEGOX
You're forgetting that all the plug-ins are in one folder.
So you could have
plugres://WeldPlugin/Icon.png
or something like that. |

That's an ugly solution, both because it makes the code in the plugin dependent on the name of the plugin, and because it makes it so that the "built in" plugins have to be treated differently than the normal ones. |
