How do I use extensions?

[Ben304]

I'm sure you all looked at the title of this thread and sighed, thinking "Great, another new kid"

I've been having quite a good time working on a platform game, but am pretty new to the software. I'm happy with everything except the platform movement - my character keeps getting stuck in walls and such. After a forum search, the best bet seemed to be to download the first bonus pack (I'd like to avoid writing my own movement, really). I installed this, but I couldn't seem to find the extensions in my game. Thinking it might require the latest build, I downloaded this and installed it as well (Although some things would not install, for some reason), but I still could not find the extensions in the MMF2 editor.

Is there something I am missing? I've done a fairly extensive search through the help file, manual, FAQ and forums but cannot seem to find the solution to something I thought would be quite simple.

Thanks for you time

Are you using the demo?
If so you you can't get extensions. If you paid for MMF2 you can get all the extensions from FusionUpdator, which is on the side.------------>

It's definitely the full paid for version.

I downloaded the updater but it seems to merely be a tool to download the latest extensions. It wants to connect to the internet, and the computer I use MMF2 on has no internet connection.

I have the extension loaded into the c:\Program Files\Multimedia Fusion 2\Extensions folder, but that is as far as I have gotten, sadly. Considering everything else has been so easy, I am sure there is a simple solution to this, but I cannot seem to find it

Just to confirm this, although it may be obvious:

Extensions appear on the screen where you choose a new object to put in your frame. So you can choose from Active Object, Backdrop Objects, and the extensions will be amoung them.

Nick, that was what I was missing.

It seems quite obvious now, but I had created my whole level with the standard movement and wanted to change the main character active object's movement style. Fantastic, I really appreciate the help!

Now to get back to work
