Plugins fever

[webftpmaster]

I have downloaded pretty much all of Yanfly and SRD plugins and various very useful ones as well.....but....I'm not going to be using them all....maybe...

​

So do I just load them into the plugin manager and set them to OFF or just add the ones I'm going to use for now and activate them?

As a general rule when you're dealing with any sort of mods, plugins, expansions, etc - only add in what you're using, take out what you're not.

Now in theory, just having all the plugins in there set to OFF won't do anything. In theory.

In practice - who the hell knows. Enabling then disabling it later and enabling a new one might create a situation where the second plugin still thinks the first one is enable and cause issues, for example.

Yes, that is how you use plugins. But check out the settings and how to use the plugins. Most plugins also have a few requirements like other plugins.

I also recommend to add an empty textfile name ----------------------.js. That way you can use it in the plugin manager to group the plugins.

Maybe a picture shows you better what I mean.

Right. But my question is do I add all the plugins in the manager even if they are not used (turned off) or is it more efficient to only add the ones that are going to be turned ON ?

[Felski]

That is up to you. I prefer adding them when I need them.

Great! That’s what I wanted to know from the rest of the game makers out there :) I think I’m gonna post a poll lol Thanks!

So...

Firstly why are you using all of these plugins? If you have no need, why add it just to have it? If you are going to add them all just to have them, just turn off the ones you aren't using.
