Plugin help

hi all-

new to this board but am hoping to get some help.
ive never used plugins at all..have downloaded a few of them now..saved them to my NEWPLUGS folder..but none are ever recognized when i startup TNM.

one of em (cant remember which one) says i must be on a registered version of TNM (which i AM!)..but the rest of my downloads have been completely fruitless.

if someone could help me along id be real appreciative.

Mr Mack

It's not downloading and saving them to the NEWPLUGS folder but you have to extract the ZIP files into the NEWPLUGS folder. Could that be the problem why they aren't recognized ?

Also, some plugins don't appear in the main menu's Plugins section because they are either circuit-specific or match plugins. They will show up in "About Plugins", though.

The message that you need to be a registered user seems to point in the direction of your trying to run the EXE file that comes inside the plugin's ZIP. Is that the case ?

im unzipping and extracting into NEWPLUGS.

the only one that shows up in ABOUT PLUGINS is the CARD STATISTICS one...and that just tells me who made it or watever..have no idea how to use it.

i guess i have tried to run the EXE files..along with anything else i can think of.

still no luck though
:(

The Card Statistics plugin as far as I recall is one you use in your circuit, not from the main menu.

well when i click on PLUGINS when im in a circuit there are NO plugins to select from.

suddenly im getting another message when i try to install that FCACUBED plugin..it says SEARCHING TNM.BAT... then says NO DIRECTORY FOUND or something.

you're probably thinking im just stupid or using a dinosaur of a computer..neither being the case. ive searched like every website related to TNM there is ..have yet to find a clear guide to downloading and using PLUGINS.

i even tried to DL the build 6e yesterday...Dl'd and unzipped into the PROGRAM file just like it says to do..and nothing
