Plugins are software components that add features to your server, much like a mod.
Unlike mods, however, plugins do not have a whitelist and only run on the server, not on the client.
Please follow the steps below on how to add Torch plugins to your Space Engineers server:
- Stop the server.
- Install Torch from the Game Panel Mod Manager.
- Start the server and stop again once it has fully boot up.
- Download the plugins you want to install. You can download Torch plugins here: http://torchapi.com/plugins
- Once you have downloaded a plugin, open the manifest.xml from the .zip file and copy the GUID value.
- GUID should look like this for Essentials plugin:
cbfdd6ab-4cda-4544-a201-f73efa3d46c0 - Go to the GamePanel Configuration Files and edit Torch.cfg.
- Find the following and enter the GUID:
<Plugins>
<guid>PASTE GUID HERE</guid>
</Plugins> - Save the file.
- Upload the .zip file into the server's Plugins folder.
- Start the server and the plugin should now be enabled.
