To load a new plugin:

  • Choose Tools > Plugin Manager» Plugin Manager to open the Plugin manager (Figure 209 edit);
  • Click Add and in the plugins folder (usually C:\Program Files\eWater\Source version\Plugins), select the plugin and click Open; and
  • Click Close.

Note that if a plugin is required to run the project, but not loaded, an error appears asking if you want to keep loading the project without loading the plugin first. If the plugin is important to the project, Source might have problems running. The error tells you the name of the plugin that was used. An example of this is shown in Figure 210 edit, indicating that the HargreavesET plugin is missing.

When you install Source, instructions for writing your own plugins are included along with a series of templates to help you get started. Under Windows XP, the standard location is:

C:\Program Files\Source n.n.n.n\Plugins\ExamplePlugins.zip

Under Windows 7, the standard location is:

Code Block
C:\Program Files\eWater\Source n.n.n.n\Plugins\ExamplePlugins.zip
