Playcademy Manifest Exporter (Godot Plugin)

A Godot editor plugin that automatically generates a cademy.manifest.json file when exporting HTML5 projects, tailored for the Playcademy platform.

Purpose

The Playcademy platform requires a cademy.manifest.json file to correctly integrate and load HTML5 games. This plugin automates the creation of this manifest, ensuring your Godot web exports are Playcademy-ready.

Features

• Automatic Manifest Generation: Creates the cademy.manifest.json file in your web export directory.
• Playcademy Ready: Simplifies the preparation of your Godot web games for the Playcademy platform.
• Seamless Integration: Works automatically during the standard Godot HTML5 export process once the plugin is enabled.

Manual Installation

1. Download the contents of this addon (the cademy_manifest_export folder).
2. Place the cademy_manifest_export folder into your Godot project's addons/ directory. If you don't have an addons/ directory, create one at the root of your project. Your project structure should look like:

   my_godot_project/
   ├── addons/
   │   └── cademy_manifest_export/
   │       ├── plugin.gd
   │       ├── plugin.cfg
   │       ├── cademy_exporter.gd
   └── project.godot
   ... (other project files)
   

3. Enable the plugin:
   • Open your Godot project.
   • Go to Project -> Project Settings... -> Plugins tab.
   • Find "Playcademy Manifest Exporter" in the list and check the "Enable" box.

How to Use

Once installed and enabled, the plugin works automatically. When you export your project for the "Web" (HTML5) platform, the cademy.manifest.json file will be created in the root of your export directory alongside your game's html, js, and pck files.
