Poger, since you don't have an e-mail listed, I will have to discuss this here. I downloaded your plugin to find out what it would do.
First problem: The readme says to "push the 'P' button." If you mean the "P" key, then that just pauses the game and nothing happens. The "L" key, however, brings up the level window and forces the player to advance to level 30 from wherever they are in the game. There is no escape from the level window until this has been done.
My first try was with a level 26 character who ended up being a level 30 with 1340 health points. He also had millions of experience points neccessary to get to the next level. Yes, he was probably invincible, and probably not much fun to play with anymore.
My second try was with a new character just starting out at the gates of Fantrima. He, too, became a level 30 character but with only 144 HP because he had vitality of only 14. To get his HP higher he will also need to level up but has millions of experience points to go and lots of elixirs of vitality to acquire along the way. He's going to get clobbered by the first large creature he meets. He also has only 50 gold pieces (the ones he started with), no armor, and the useless dagger he brought with him.
My guess is that you have not yet played a game through and do not know how the various stats interact. If you are wanting a cheat, there are better ways of doing it. Frankly, I think this plugin would ruin the game for anyone who tries it. I suggest you go back to the drawing board after having a bit more experience playing PoG.
Did you test this at all? Did you have others test it? There is a good reason why plugin developers ask for beta testers to examine their work. I will leave the decision up to Stark as to whether or not he wants to make this plugin available.

wow! that's weird I mean't the a key, woops better fix that problem thanks for telling me, and the L key plugin sounds like titania. Mine makes you powerful but not too powerful. It just gives a powerful weapon that increases you'r stats but not that much and pushing the a key gives you the weapon but it doesn't increase you'r stats directly.

I was looking at the plugin called Extreme Cheat. That's the one that says "P" button. I see now that you have another "Ultra Weapon" submitted. It does say "a" key.
Weapon damage range 20,000 to 30,000? There is no description in the inventory list.
BTW, this plugin does not work with any Trinity character, only the one from Standard PoG.
Please engage some testers before you submit. There are many on the PoG forum who would be happy to test for you and give you feedback before you go public.

Thanks; I will make an updated version.

As you know, a plugin enhances an existing game. In this case, the plugin you're making is for a game that you didn't create. It's a good idea to be thoroughly familiar with the game to such a degree that you understand how your plugin would be accepted by a player, and to take the responsibility to make sure that your plugin works properly before you submit.
I appreciate you wanting to give your talent to the POG community! It just takes more time to do it well. Good luck.

I changed my mind I will not create a weapon plugin but I am working on a new race (Female). And hopefully soon I will start on my other new race (ROBOT).

There are a lot of cheat plugins out already. It seems that there is no cheat that is not already covered by a cheat plugin. I would like to see some more "real" plugins pop up on the addons page.
------------------
Boo! Did I scare you? No? BOO! How about now? Good!
Alright, peoples. A little bit far afield now. I think this one has run it's course.
And just a request, poger, if you could please try to post less new topics and instead include more questions in each one, it'd be greatly appreciated.
