Where are loaded VREP Plugins

Post by minisch »

Hi to all,

I think this is an easy question for you. I am working with V-REP and I am sure that a certain plugin is loaded. I want to know where the plugin is loaded, where is the command which loads the plugin and where this command looks for the plugin.

Thanks for your time,
Fab.

Hello Fab,

the plugins are loaded by the V-REP client application (i.e. vrep.exe). The source code to that application can be found in programming/v_repClientApplication.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply I was able to locate the folder you are talking about but I still don't see a direct link between the loading of the plugin I am using and those files (main.cpp and vrep.pro).

The plugin I am using is :
http://wiki.ros.org/vrep_ros_plugin

Thanks for your help.

all plugins are being loaded in the main.cpp file (in the simulatorInit function). The function will parse all files that start with v_repExt and try to load them as plugins.

Cheers
