Required Changes
Some changes in the code will be required to support plugins.
- Complete GUI and other classes with functions that would be expected to exist, but don't because nothing needed them yet. For instance, add method overloads that should logically exist.
- Allow multiple callbacks per message, as well as unregistering a previously registered one. Currently only one callback can be registered per message type.
- Verify that all the callbacks work in such a way that they wouldn't be confused by plugins. When a callback for a reply to a request runs it must make sure that the data to arrived is what was requested, and if not, ignore it.
- Add internal callbacks for events such as rendering a frame, receiving a chat message, etc.
