So I have got a question. Are 0.4.2 mods compatible with the new versions (0.4.7) of lspdfr. I for example would like to download lspdfr+ by albo1125. I'm kind of a noob with modding etc. and I don't understand what the file information means. The user LSPDFR api is 0.4.2 but the compatibility is "newer versions". So would any plugin with "compatibility: newer verions" work with 0.4.7 or will it cause problems? 
 

It depends on the plugin author and what they make use of in their code.

 

Some outdated plugins may potentially work fine, some may have slight issues and some may be unplayable. The best thing to do is to play using up to date plugins for the most stable experience. Only add 1 or 2 outdated plugins for testing to see if they run ok for you.

So the only way to know if it works is to test it? Does the compatibility part indicate anything/What is it's purpose?

It tells you what version the plugin was built on and therefore what version it is guaranteed to work with.

 

In theory a plugin compatible with 0.4.3+ should work with anything higher than 0.4.3, and will not work with anything less than that. But again, it is entirely dependent on how the plugin has been coded. A plugin may or may not work if it is outdated, but there is no way to guarantee it.

I will test if it will work. Thanks for the help :)
