PCC2 Main Page |
Since version 1.99.25, PCC2 supports plugins. Plugins are easy-to-install extensions for PCC that can contain artwork or additional functionality.
To install a plugin, download it and...
- ...just run it (double-click). If you have installed PCC2 using the installer on Windows, this will install the plugin.
- ...or press F5 on PCC2's or PlayVCR's game selection screen. Press Ins, navigate to the file, and install it.
- ...or use the c2plugin command-line tool.
Plugins are not affected by PCC2 upgrades, you do not need to re-install them every time.
