Scratch+ Extended Resource Libraries!
Do you know that library for Scratch resources online, where you have to download everything? Well, with Extended Libraries, you have even BETTER resources added RIGHT to your Scratch!
Not only do you get Costumes, Sprites, Sounds, Backgrounds, Scripts, you also get Example Projects!
And, for your ease, it comes with a batch installer, which is currently only for Windows.
So, WHAT IS IT?
It's basically media which you can import from the import menu.
Scratch+ Upgrade!
It will be forever updating! Please post your media which you wish to add!

no mac version
Can i look at the source of the updater (or whatever) so i can try and make a mac version
Yes.
I'll post it, it's in batch, although you could just open it in notepad!:
Code:
@ECHO OFF ECHO Welcome to ScratchLibrary+ Upgrader for Windows! ECHO Information: ECHO. ECHO OS: WINDOWS ECHO VERSION: 1.4 ECHO __________________________________________ ECHO. ECHO Installing items, please be patient! ECHO. ECHO __________________________________________ ECHO Installing Backgrounds... ECHO. ECHO. XCOPY UpgradeMedia\Backgrounds\* Media\Backgrounds\Scratch+\ /I/Y ECHO. ECHO. ECHO __________________________________________ ECHO Installing Costumes/Sprite... ECHO. ECHO. XCOPY UpgradeMedia\Costumes\* Media\Costumes\Scratch+\ /I/Y ECHO. ECHO. ECHO __________________________________________ ECHO Installing Sounds... ECHO. ECHO. XCOPY UpgradeMedia\Sounds\* Media\Sounds\Scratch+\ /I/Y ECHO. ECHO. ECHO __________________________________________ ECHO. ECHO. ECHO. ECHO. ECHO. ECHO. ECHO Installed Resources. Please Press a key to close this window. ECHO. ECHO. ECHO. ECHO. ECHO. ECHO. ECHO __________________________________________ PAUSE
There is a file called 'UpgradeMedia' which is basically just all the new media.
'Media' is what Scratch calls Media 
and the installer.bat (the source code above) is what copies everything from the UpgradeMedia to Media.
It HAS to be placed in the scratch directory to work.
You could manually do it, but it would get annoying!

I might be able to make a auto updater version (macs only)oh, I either make them from scratch or google them.
you can find them in the .zip.

Re: Scratch+ Extended Resource Libraries!
is it possible to put the UpgradeMedia files in another .ZIP on the website?
EDIT: No don't
Each time you update it can you put a new ZIP up containing all the new resources so i can transfer them to dropbox

nearly finished
The copying is a bit off
Just do the library only ZIP so my application can download the ZIP and then copy the files over
EDIT DONT DO THIS:
can you rename the folder as Media please?

What even is it
Just more importables for scratch, that people will actually use.
So it's just a bunch of images and stuff?
Why not put them on Scratch Resources?
