So were you able to run your game with the plugin ticked? If you were then it's installed correctly. Next, you need to draw some raindrops and set up a view. Have you run the snow/rain demo game? Look in it and see how the snow/rain script attached. Yes, you need to write some script commands in order to make snow/rain plugin work. Look in SnowRain20.txt file for the related script functions.
on player enters room:
srSetRainAmount(500);
How progressing?
err, unable to load snow rain pluggin.dll ??

Quotebut the two applicattion extention files wernt there, but thats cus they're aplication extentions right?
Ah, yes DLLs are always hidden. By default Windows hides them as system files.

hmm, strange. What versions of AGS, snow/rain plugin and Windows respectively?
Just in case, the files should go as follows:
in AGS\ two files:
SnowRain201.dll
alleg40.dll
in AGS\SnowDemo\Compiled:
alleg40.dll
umm windows 98, ags 2.55 dunn about snow rain plugin.

Look it in SnowRain20.txt, it should be either ver2.0 or ver 2.01. If it's 2.01 you need the latest AGS v2.6 I am afraid. If you can't upgrade AGS then download an older version of plugin (2.0) from here (http://invis.free.anonymizer.com/http://www.geocities.com/scorpiorus82/ags_snowrain20.zip).
aweet, i jus finished the ags2.6 download nd reinstalled it, and it works ;D
if i have any other problems then i'll post them here
Thanx a lot scorpiorus
