Help installing plugins by Cass on 07-01-2004 at 11:15 PM

I downloaded and extracted a plugin and i do not know how to install in on Plus so I can use it!!  HELP

RE: Help installing plugins by toddy on 07-01-2004 at 11:18 PM

you either need to run the installer, if there is one.
if not you need to extract the files to your messenger plus plugins folder
(normally c:\program files\messenger plus!3\plugins)
then restart messenger

RE: Help installing plugins by Choli on 07-01-2004 at 11:19 PM

can you tell us exactly what plugin you get?

Usually, after extracting (unzipping, i assume) the plugin, you'll find a readme.txt file with special instructions on how to install it. If there isn't such file, just copy the extracted files (there should be at least one .dll file) to the plugins folder of plus (usually c:\prorgam files\messenger plus! 3\plugins  ) and restart messenger. If the plugin doesn't work, you should do something else, but we can't help you more if don't know what plugin is. (you would have to add an entry in the registry and register the plugin).

that should work. As it's said in a readme file inside wormssound plugin zip:

Installation
------------
1. Unzip contents of .zip file to your Messenger Plus! Plugins folder
   (usually C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\Plugins)
2. Restart Messenger
3. Er, that's it!

be sure you have the last version of the plugin: http://www.msgplus.net/pluginsdb/down/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=79
RE: Help installing plugins by toddy on 07-01-2004 at 11:35 PM

i don't actually have the plugin so i can't help

RE: Help installing plugins by Cass on 07-01-2004 at 11:36 PM

thank you very much!!!!!!! 

RE: Help installing plugins by Choli on 07-01-2004 at 11:40 PM

as i said in the edit ( you may not have noticed it) get the last version of the plugin. If that doesn't work, then the author of the plugins should fix that.

For plugin developers: before the sp121 there is the 0x9 character that was the old one used by plus. now it's 0x12 and the plugins should be recompiled (or cass should get the last version).
