I have posted this elsewhere but I think it would be useful to have a separate thread for it.
It seems that a lot of people are having trouble with getting plug-ins to work or would like to make their own, but don't know how to. Well, I'm going to tell you how.
Firstly, I suggest you get the broken mirror game and plug-in files downloaded and saved on your computer. This makes life a lot easier.
The game and its original plug-in files (unmodified) can be downloaded at:
www.angelfire.com/ab8/flsahtrek/downloads.html
This is the location given by Vex, and I have checked the files after having downloaded them myself. It is a safe download.

To use a plug-in
- From the main menu go to Options
- In the box below "use plug-in folder": delete the text there, making sure that any leading or trailing spaces are deleted.
- Enter the location of the plug-in files, including the final "/"
- Once again, make sure that there are no leading or trailing spaces in the location name
- Check the "use plug-in folder" option, this will cause the files to be loaded - if they aren't recheck for errors in the location
To make a plug-in
Download the original plug-in files from the link above. Modify the files in a text editor (notepad etc) using Dondon's plug-in guide:

I advise you to copy the original files, not just overwrite them. Then you can make more plug-ins when you want to without having to re-download the originals.
