How the Legacy Space Engineers Vanilla Integration Works

Legacy Integration Guide – Space Engineers Vanilla (Tebex Plugin)

⚠️ This guide is for legacy use only. For the latest and easiest setup, we recommend the current Tebex Vanilla plugin and our TorchAPI version.

---

Overview

The legacy Tebex plugin for Space Engineers Vanilla allows you to reward players without relying on console commands — giving you flexibility when building custom server experiences.

You can integrate Tebex in two ways:

1. Using the Companion Plugin: Trigger prebuilt reward commands like !giveitem and !givemoney.

2. Creating a Custom Plugin: Listen for purchase events and write your own logic.

---

Tebex Event Communication

The main plugin (TebexSE.dll) notifies your server of incoming purchases via:

• An event: TebexSE.TebexSE.tebexPurchaseEvent.TebexPurchaseReceived (Recommended for plugin developers)

• A chat message in the GlobalScripted channel (Use this for modding or scripts that respond to chat)

---

Option 1: Use the Companion Plugin

We provide a prebuilt plugin that supports several basic reward commands:

Available Commands

Replace anything in [square brackets] with actual values. Keep {id} as-is — it auto-inserts the Steam64 ID of the purchaser.

!giveitem {id} [ItemID] [Amount]         // e.g. !giveitem {id} Ingot/Iron 10
!givemoney {id} [Amount]                 // e.g. !givemoney {id} 1000
!reserveslot {id}
!unreserveslot {id}
!rank {id} [RankName]                    // e.g. !rank {id} Scripter
!say [Message]                           // e.g. !say Thanks for your purchase

Download

Get the companion plugin from GitHub: Tebex-SE-Consumer on GitHub

💡 This is the fastest way to get started. You can also extend this plugin with your own commands (see below).

---

Option 2: Create a Custom Plugin

To build your own reward system, subscribe to the Tebex purchase event and handle the received command.

Example Code Snippet

csharpCopyEdit// Called by Space Engineers when the server is ready
public void Init(object gameInstance) {
    TebexSE.TebexSE.tebexPurchaseEvent.TebexPurchaseReceived += TebexPurchaseEvent_TebexPurchaseReceivedHandler;
}

private void TebexPurchaseEvent_TebexPurchaseReceivedHandler(string details) {
    if (details.StartsWith("!myplugin")) {
        // Handle your custom command
    }
}

Integration Notes

• Add TebexSE.dll as a reference in your plugin project.

• Commands from Tebex are passed as strings, so it’s up to you to parse and process them appropriately.

---

Extending the Companion Plugin

Prefer modifying instead of starting from scratch? Extend the Tebex-SE-Consumer:

• Update the plugin references:

  • DLLs from your Space Engineers server

  • TebexSE.dll from your Tebex control panel

This lets you add new commands or logic without rewriting the whole system.
