Now let's move on to the code. + +Every extension needs to include an _ExtensionInfo_ annotation in order to identify the extension, our ExtensionInfo would look like this: +```java +@ExtensionInfo( + Title = "Sample Extension", + Description = "Used for the wiki", + Version = "1.0", + Author = "G-Earth" +) +``` + +The extension constitutes a standalone jar, so we'll need to include a main method to start it up like this: +```java +public class SampleExtension extends Extension { + private SampleExtension(String[] args) { + super(args); + } + + public static void main(String[] args) { + new SampleExtension(args).run(); + } +} +``` + +That would be a bare minimum to get it loaded into G-Earth, now let's have a look at the API to improve our little extension + +## A quick look to the extensions API + +In this section we'll build upon the previous example with the functionality provided by G-Earth's API + +### Intercepting packets +The _intercept_ method lets us intercept a packet from its id and modify it if we want to. +```java +intercept(HMessage.Side.TOCLIENT, 4000, hMessage -> { + // oops we got disconnected +}); +``` + +### Sending packets +G-Earth includes the sendTo[Client/Server] method in order to send packets. + +```java +sendToClient(new HPacket("{l}{u:1234}")); +// or +sendToClient(new HPacket(1234)); +``` +### Initializing our extension + +_initExtension_ is called whenever G-Earth loads the extension, it's specially useful to init the _HashSupport_ and other features, we'll use it in the following examples + +### Doing stuff upon client connection + +```java +@Override +protected void onStartConnection() { + // we're connected to habbo +} +``` + +### HashSupport + +_HashSupport_ allows us to use hashes/names in order to intercept and send packets, using the aforementioned methods. + +```java +private HashSupport mHashSupport; +@Override +protected void initExtension() { + // This is called when G-Earth loads the extension + mHashSupport = new HashSupport(this); + + mHashSupport.intercept(HMessage.Side.TOCLIENT, "RoomUserStartTyping", hMessage -> { + mHashSupport.sendToServer("RoomUserStopTyping"); + }); +} +``` + +### ChatConsole +_ChatConsole_ is a new G-Earth feature that allows us to use the in-game chat in order to communicate with the extension, it can read your input and write messages, you can also set a welcome message, we'll add it to our example. + +```java +private HashSupport mHashSupport; +private ChatConsole mChatConsole; +@Override +protected void initExtension() { + // This is called when G-Earth loads the extension + mHashSupport = new HashSupport(this); + mChatConsole = new ChatConsole(mHashSupport, this, "I'm a welcome message!"); + + mChatConsole.onInput(input -> { + if (input.equals("ping")) + mChatConsole.writeOutput("pong", false); + }); +} +``` + +Once loaded it will appear to your friend's list
