Documents / Frequently Asked Questions & Never Asked Questions
Here are some questions that might pop into your mind while using FPSConsole. The source code is also a good place to look for information.
How can I extend the application?
1)
One of the easiest ways would be to download the Cygwin Linux-like environment for Windows.
This package contains many useful tools (like cp, dir, cd etc.) that are not implemented in
FPSConsole itself. After installing Cygwin, you can set the path of the cygwins "bin" folder
to your PATH environment variable. After that, all commands are usable via FPSConsole.
Note
If an external command hangs the application, it is probably because it is waiting for input. That is not fully implemented in FPSConsole.
2)
Other way for creating new extensions is by writing them with some scripting language (like python). There
are some example scripts in the "extensions" folder.
3)
You can also download the source code and implement new built-in commands with C++.
