flamingfox Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 something's wrong with my computer or paint.net plug-in installation before, i did exactly this, and it worked fine. but now, i have a new machine, and i had to reinstall the paint.net program. i tried to re-install each and every one of the plug-ins to program files (i triple-checked, nothing wrong there! :o), and still, it doesn't show up in my paint.net effects menu! can someone help me? or will i be doomed to paint.net's overwhelming simplicity forever? lol ~Sarah @ hope.wishless.org Quote ~Sarah @ http://hope.wishless.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you put the plugin files in the Effects folder? the plug-ins? hmm... i'm just going to start with one: the water reflection plug-in. i forget where i found it. i'm using the beta version 3.36. but before you talk about how beta ones are different, i downloaded this new version 'cuz i thought it would work. the plugins didn't work in version 3.5 either. OS - windows XP. and yes, i extracted them to C:\Program Files\Paint.Net\Effects. that's the right folder, isn't it?

Sarkut Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 flamingfox: That's the right folder. Recommend that you use the current stable version, if you want everything to work. http://www.getpaint.net/download.html#download ===================================== Make sure there are only plugin files in the Effects folder, no folders of any kind or anything else.

flamingfox Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 oh god. now i'm stuck ;__; i tried to install the stable version, but it said it couldn't install because "a newer version of this program is already installed". then, i tried to remove the program "add or remove programs", but a windows component failed to do it or something. somehow, all my paint.net program files got erased. now i'm completely stuck. i have no idea what to do o.o Quote ~Sarah @ http://hope.wishless.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Plugin help, or Paint.NET help? If you need assistance with the latter, press F1 in Paint.NET and you'll be taken to the help files. Plugins: You can find a list of plugins here: Plugin Index To use a plugin you need to download it and unzip it (if it is zipped). Take the unzipped *.dll files and move them to the correct folder (usually ..Paint.NET\Effects). Restart Paint.NET and the effect should appear in the menus. It's a good idea to read this thread thoroughly, and also to read the thread pertaining to the plugin you want to install.

Mickmac Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hi, I installed the Animated Gif plugin in Program Files/Paint.net/File Types (as instructed) but when I open Paint.net I cannot find the plugin anywhere. Any idea where it would be hiding ? Mickmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJXD Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Don't use so many emoticons or everyone will think you're annoying. Have you followed all the steps on putting the .dll's in the Effects folder?

Simon Brown Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I've included installers in plugins in the past, but some members hate them and unless I made an online installer (which i'm thinking about), i'd have to maintain two versions.

PaintMariku Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Hey. I have this error from the plugin pyrochild.effects.REQUIRED.dll. I try to use Gradient Bars or Smudge, but it fails to work. Please help D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I doubt you're running a plugin of that name as it is a support file for some of Pyrochild's plugins. Most likely the plugin you're trying to run cannot find that file. Make sure you have that file installed (as per the first post in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=21706&start=0).
