tsarnikolas2 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yes--I even went back, cleared out what I did and unzipped again using 7-zip instead of windows built in extractor. I am at a total loss with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethec Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Try moving "PaintDotNet.StylusReader.dll" from C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects to C:\Program Files\Paint.NET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsarnikolas2 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 OK, I did that and still no change. Should I re-install paint.net and start over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'm trying to get the ability to use custom brushes (most noteably, trying to get the blood splatter effect) and I've used the Search function extensively but I always get to outdated threads and websites where the files don't work or aren't even there anymore. (One of them is the OP to this thread). I am completely lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'm trying to get the ability to use custom brushes...Could you describe in a little more detail what you wish to do, please? Are you encountering installation issues, or are you having problems using the plugin? You can also post in the Custom Brushes topic for a speedier, better-informed response from users of the plugin.

Vanguard Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Well I managed to get a blood-splatter plugin that works but it's not precisely the most realistic one I was looking for. (I got the Pyrochild one, it's a bit cartoony). But to answer your question, I have trouble installing some. It feels like they all require a different form of installation I'm sorry I can't be more descriptive. It's hard to explain the situation when one barely knows what the problem IS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downunder57 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hi, Have read 33 pages in this topic and have followed all the advice on installing plugins. Have done everything correctly and have read these instructions too. http://boltbait.googlepages.com The only difference I get under properties is there is no allow or block. So, pray tell, why don't my plugins show up under effects or adjustments. I have the latest Paint.net version 3.36 Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsarnikolas2 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 As I've already stated earlier, I have the same problem. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Gave permission to all. Installed one plugin (like pyro's) at a time. Still no other effects anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed "PaintDotNetEffects.dll", and now all my plugins are showing. 8) You're a champion. Well done. :wink: Carl P.S. Now to try to remember where that plugin came from. I know I got pyros here but it wasn't in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I have a feeling I saw that file in a release by KrisVDM - but I think it was in a source folder so it shouldn't be "found" by most users. My humblest apologies to KrisVDM if I am mistaken here.

downunder57 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I wonder if it was in an earlier version. Going through the forum , I noticed this reference..... Vandermotten.PaintDotNetEffects.dll viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2023&start=210 About half way down the page. Don't know if it has any significance to to what you are looking for.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Effect Plugins reside in the Paint.NET/Effects folder. Filetypes (those plugins that deal with what types of files can be saved & loaded) reside in the Paint.NET/FileTypes folder. Both of these folders should be present after you install PDN.

In the dialog box that comes up, push the "Find Target" button (or "Open File Location" if you're on Vista). In the window that opens, double-click on the "Effects" folder.
