Create music-track-display

[Tommynaut]

A simple plugin that displays the current music track as a game message in the console.
Fair warning that this was created by someone relatively novice.

Hi Chris, Thanks for your message. Apologies if I'm replying the wrong way, I couldn't see your message on GitHub and can only see it in my emails. It's probably obvious that I'm new to this. With regard to what you said, I have tested this and it doesn't seem to spam the chatbox - it only sends the message when the music track changes. I have it running every tick because there didn't seem to be a better way to check for the track change as an event (there's no associated variable client-side). Did you test it and see it spam the chatbox? Kind regards, Thomas

I would assume there is a varbit changed or client script that's called.

The checks you're performing are simple enough and I wouldn't worry about trying to optimize it prematurely. But you should remove your config since it is unused.

Thank you for your suggestion.
Is it okay if I leave the config file in there and comment out everything related to it, including its contents? I was thinking of using the config later when I have more time to add some other features and my intention was to keep it as a template for when I do make changes.

Sure, but in that case you should also comment out its @Provides block in the plugin class.

I say this only because having it present means there will be a config gear icon beside the plugin name, which can be confusing for users if it opens to a blank page. If you want to add the config later it won't cause any issues to re-add the provider.

Thank you LlemonDuck, that makes sense. I have updated the file.
