david.atwell Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 You're not the first to suggest this. I believe that Rick is looking into a mozilla-like plugin management system.

Hockeyhottie Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I am having the same problem as narstii did...I downloaded the plugin into the Effects folder, but they are not showing up in PDN when I open it up. I did extract the folder after I downloaded it. Please help! I am so confused! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narstii Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 are your plugins in the effects folder but it shows the "compatibility files" folder open as well? it sounds confusing but thats what i had so i cut the plugins from "compatibility files" and pasted them into the original effects folder... it sounds dodgy but it might help Quote Grime Ain't Dead - Bring Back The Music - Wobbly Bass Going On Still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Brown Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Make sure the image has transparent parts. I suggest asking further questions in the plugin's own thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRezister Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Since I installed version 3.31, it seems like several of the effects won't work anymore, including Feather, Tube Oblique, and some others. They don't show up anywhere in the effects menu anymore. I re-installed the effects the same way as ever, should I be doing something different? Thanks! Edited to add: Pyrochild's effects seem to work fine (Borders/Shapes, etc) but the ones I mentioned have disappeared from my effects menu, and don't reappear after a re-install. No 'compatibility' folder issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Are they in any sub-menus? As I recall, "Tube Oblique" actually appears inside Distort.

MrRezister Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 After reading some more threads, I decided to try removing the Base.dll from effects, and now everything seems to be in order. I appreciate the attention. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
