R2Northstar Websocket

This plugin is used to allow using Websockets in Squirrel.

Installing the Plugin

1. Download the latest release of the plugin from the release tab

2. Copy the interstellar_websockets.dll file into %Titanfall2_InstallationFolder%/R2Northstar/plugins

3. Copy the Interstellar.WebsocketUtil folder mod into %Titanfall2_InstallationFolder%/R2Northstar/mods

It is not necessary to install the mod but, for ease of use we recommend to also use it, due to some limitations in the plugin v2 API.

When using wine this plugin will only work when with version 7.13 and above.

How to use the plugin/mod
