    • Converting plugins for the windows


      Has anyone had any success using other plug-ins other than the trinity(which I assume works but have not tried). POG sees the plug-in but they do not work. Is there a way to convert them so that they will or am I sol.

    • I believe plugs are naturaly cross compatible.

      What plugs are you trying to run?

    • This is a problem which crops up occasionally and is very stupid, because if the devs would just write a good Readme file the users would never have to ask.
      You probably have the wrong folder in the PoG Plugins folder. The folder that should be in the Plugins folder is the one that has the data files (data001.dat, Movies folder, Music folder, Sounds folder) in it, not the Readme and other files.
      And AAC is correct, plug-ins are cross-platform by nature.

    • Well, I agree with cernun, I cam't get any plugins but Trinity to work. Maybe, when I (hopefully) get a new (non-expired) registration code tommorow it'll work. Because I read somewhere plugins don't work unless you're registered. But it says on the actual game when you attempt to use more than one at a time, something about only being able to use one at a time, which basically says, YOU CAN USE ONE!...meaning if I turn Trinity off, the other plugins, (one at a time) should work right?

      Mr. Phantompenguin,

      You are probably correct in your assessment. According to the PoG Adventurer's manual plug-ins are not supposed to work at all in the unregistered version, but I've heard from numerous sources that this is not the case(I've got a registered version, so I can't test this without trashing my license file which I don't intend to do, heh). But the 1 plug-in limitation sounds plausible enough. Please let us know what you find out.

      If you still can't get 3rd party plug-ins to work let us know. I have a PC lying around that I keep meaning to load PoG onto for testing purposes but which I haven't done yet. If there is an urgent reason to do so, it would motivate me to get it done. Otherwise it will most likely wait until I finish my plug-ins so that I can test them on a windows platform.

      Anyhow, again, please let us know your results.

      Thanks.

    • I recieved my liscense code today, and I'm a bit confused. Here are the results of the working and non - working plugins which I have tested on my PC. (With my registration code of course)
      Working:
      Trinity (Duh)
      Saphire
      Special Quest Items
      Ultima (I tested it, but I don't use the equipment I got with it, I'm not a cheater)
      Non - working:
      Gold
      Titania
      Untested, but will be tested eventually:
      Game Continuer
      Uber Guardian

      That's all folks.
