adding custom chugins

[cchafe]

I drag a .chug.wasm into the file list and it sets the correct serverFilename and an
identical virtualFilename. Is it the case that it actually needs different entries in order to
function as a chugin? My working examples (edited by hand) of exported pages had to have the virtualFilename pre-pended with '/chugins/'

Yes you can manually load them into the /chugins folder or use the call loadChugin function before init for that to be handled automatically.

Any way to do this in the IDE? Dragging in a file wouldn't be enough.

There's no way to load chugins into the IDE because chugins cannot be loaded after the VM starts (which is immediate on page load). @gewang might still be working on runtime chugin loading with some @import type syntax...

The preloaded list of chugins at VM start could be hackily modified if you want other chugins to be loaded:
