I’m still brainstorming ideas for an exciting demo game, but I realize that this plugin, brimming with a plethora of features, can’t be left without comprehensive documentation. Crafting that documentation will take some time, but it’s essential to ensure users can fully appreciate its capabilities. Instead, I’m channeling my efforts into formatting an engaging and comprehensive guide on GitHub for you all to explore.

I genuinely believe that sharing your personal experiences with the plugin—alongside the hurdles you encountered—would serve as a powerful beacon of insight for others. By doing so, you not only illuminate the nuances of the plugin but also pave the way for collective improvement and understanding. Your journey could transform challenges into valuable lessons, enriching the community as a whole.

I have an issue with
func _open_config() → Error:
if not FileAccess.file_exists(_CONFIG_FILE):
return ERR_DOES_NOT_EXIST
_config_text = _load_file(_CONFIG_FILE)
return FileAccess.get_open_error()
It seems that it tries top open a text file but use a method for a binary file (var value = file.get_var())
Anyone else have this issue ?
