Plugins provide additional functionality or artwork for PCC2. This screen displays all installed plugins and allows you to add or remove some.
- Arrows: Move around
- Ins: Add (install) a new plugin
- Del: Remove (uninstall) a plugin
- ESC: Close window
Plugin Installation (Ins)
A plugin typically consists of one or more files, plus an accompanying plugin description in the form of a *.c2p file. All these files can be compressed to a single *.c2z (or *.zip) file. When you want to install a plugin, PCC2 will ask you for the *.c2p or *.c2z file.
If you just have a *.res or *.q file you want loaded, you can also directly install that.
After you choose a file, PCC2 will check preconditions and ask you for confirmation before installing the plugin. Installing copies the plugin into your user profile directory; the original data is not needed anymore after installation.
Plugin Uninstallation (Del)
When you select a plugin for uninstallation, PCC2 will check preconditions and ask you for confirmation before uninstalling the plugin.
Notes
After you uninstall a plugin, some remains of it may remain still active until you exit PCC2. That's why PCC2 will remind you to restart after a plugin has been removed or updated.
There also is a command-line utility c2plugin you can use to manage plugins. When you have installed PCC2 for Windows using the installer, launching a *.c2z or *.c2p file (by double-clicking in Explorer, or from a web browser) will directly install the plugin.
