How do I add jars/plugins to renpy?

#1 Post by Michmat »

Well yes I am very new (been on the forum for a whole 5 minutes xD) to both visual novels and renpy. I'm having no problem learning how to code, but I wanted some plugins. So I downloaded them, and placed in my "jars" folder in renpy, but they don't work at all. I looked in the plugins manager and they are red, so I looked in the index (where you can download them while in the program) and all the plugins I wanted are not listed. the ones I want are
Ancestor
Buffertabs
candyfolds
editor Scheme
errorlist
hex edit
jazzy
spellcheck
whitespace
if it matters. I can provide screenshots if needed, just PM me or post here, just please ask for whatever you need in order to help me, and I shall do it. I also have two other related questions, but I'll save that till this gets fixed. Thanks for reading! (also it might be nice to explain on the renpy wiki ^^ just suggesting.)

I don't know much about that. For me, jEdit seems to automatically pick up plugins. (Are you using jEdit?)

yes I am using jedit, I am sorry for not being more clear. I feel so stupid now. Renpy works fine, it's jedit these plugins are for. Is this the wrong place to ask?
EDIT: I think it auto detects mine too, but if I go to edit the script.rpy, it gives a bunch of errors, I think listing how it can't find the jars. (once jedit starts up that is)

Well I've figured it out. The downloads aren't probably linked, so it can't download updates, and jEdit was out of date. If someone could tell me how to delete this thread/a mod delete it, that'd be great. Thanks for trying to help though Pytom, I appreciate it.
