This is a Feature request which maybe could help Source-Engine users.
Please add a Download option for Code Plugins and Game Systems, too.
It is so annoying to open the Launcher, need to install a Launcher version of the Engine (additional to the Source version from git), just to be able to download Plugins… which one then has to manually copy and paste over to the source Engine folder.
Since fab has a Website system with a download function for Assets - why not also having this being possible for just Plugins, too?
It would allow us to skip the step of installing additional 40GB+ of Engine and handling Plugins via the launcher…
I recognized this really bad apporach within the past 2 days.
Not only does it take 1-3hours to clone and install the git version of the engine (even with a possible downloadpseed of 50+MB/sec… git is super slow…)…
No… you also need to have additional 30-90 minutes to install a second engine in the launcher…
Then install all plugins to this one…
And then have additional 30 minutes for copying the plugins to the git engine folder…
A waste of lifetime… unintuitive and not customer/developer friendly…
I hope you think about it
Thanks for reading
