Thanks for your Scratch3 mod with your external extension loader

One “small” issue I'm having with it is that I can't seem to re-load projects that use your utilities extension
(Its just sits there giving an endless series of messages about loading the file/sprites/extensions etc)

Is this just happening to me or is it a general issue?

• clicking on extension reporters was very buggy
  
• can't upload extension-using projects

I've updated my mod; it should now have the latest Beta features, and I also fixed two issues:

• clicking on extension reporters was very buggy
  
• can't upload extension-using projects
  

I've fixed the second problem by slightly modifying the SB3 format to include the extension URLs. With this, I've also changed the file extension to .sb3x

Because of how extensions are registered, external extensions don't have access to the magical “runtime” thing which means you can't do much with the default Scratch unlike the currently provided extensions. Maybe I'll find a way to change that.

Have you made any progress with this? Do you know if it's a permanent restriction for extensions in Scratch 3, or just something they probably haven't gotten to yet?

I think there should be a EV3 extension.

What are the specifications and guidelines for scratch 3.0 extensions?

I was able to get Scratch 3.0 to recognize my extension in the built-in extension menu. […] But, when I select the my extension ‘SomeBlocks’, it is not added to the ‘Code’ section along with other blocks. […] My index.js file is located here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/umlek4k9lxs0z5t/index.js?dl=0

Please advise on how to get the Scratch 3.0 to properly install the extension.

class Scratch3MyExtension {

    }
    getInfo () {
        return {
            id: 'myExtension', // Replace with the ID you specified in scratch-gui
            name: 'My Extension',

                        },
                        POWER: {

                    }
                }
            ]
        };
    }
    exponent (args, util) {

        return Math.pow(BASE, POWER);

Just thought I'd share a small extension I made. It adds a few new blocks, as shown below:

They all do pretty much exactly what you'd expect them to. The options in “replace” are (every, first, last). “Letters 1 to 5 of octopus” is “octop”; “-3 to -1” is “pus”. The “= and is the same case” block returns false for those options, whereas the normal operators “=” block returns true (since Scratch isn't normally case sensitive).

It would be a pain in the butt, but it might be possible for us to write a ScratchX to Ex3.0 conversion script.
