To distribute the device driver, you need to create an Add-on package and add your files to it.
To share your custom device driver with others, you can package it with its support files (if required) in an *.xsiaddon file for easy deployment. Along with the library or script file containing the implementation of the device, you might also want to include any of these files:
| File Type |
Description |
|---|---|
| *.xsidevice |
The device description file. See the following To package a device driver plug-in section for instructions about how to add this file to your add-on package. |
| *.dll/so file or *.vbs/js/pls/py |
Any support files (for example, extra libraries) that the device might need to call while running. |
| *.spdl file and/or *.preset file |
If you call a dialog or any custom property page in your implementation that must remain in the scene, you need to provide a SPDL file with the definition and a preset file to create the dialog, or a self-installing custom property. For more information on self-installing properties, see Custom Properties. |
| *.html/htm/chm/hlp (or ReadMe.txt file) |
If you provide a help page (or site), you must package it with the rest of your device. |
| *.jpg/gif/bmp/ico |
Any image files that are required for the dialogs or help pages. |
