im using ags 3.2.1 and im trying to get a 3d plugin to work, such as easy3d or ags3d, but i cannot seem to find what folder to paste the .dll files. Ive put them in the adventure game studio 3.2.1 folder(where the AGS Editor is), and when i load the game no available plugins show up... i know this is a simple problem but im self taught, any help is appreciated.

the subject should be "which folder to save plugin to?"

So it took almost five years to extract that rar file? ;)

plugin dlls go into the main folder, the one that contains AGSEditor.exe.
When the dll is in there, start AGS and open / create a game. In the project tree, near the bottom, there's a Plugins node that'll list all active plugins.
You can now use their commands.

You might have to copy the dll to the _Debug/Compiled folder, too, or maybe it's done automatically, I don't remember.

(Btw, if you're still trying to make a full-fledged 3D game I'd seriously consider using another engine. Unity comes to mind.)
