Default TCL gudelines and explanation/documentation

I could not find anthing on TCL's in the manual. May be I missed it!

What are they and where should they be placed? e.g. Some plugin zips I downloaded contain files with .p and .tcl extentions. I assumed all of them go in the plugin folder. Is that correct or should the files with the TCL extention go in the TCL folder?

Thanks to the plungin developers but for Newbees like myself a simple readme file would be helpful.

Yes - put all the files from the plugin pack in the 'plugins' folder.

The SDK has some details of how to find out about AC3D's internal commands, as well as a couple of programs for externally controlling AC3D.

If you enable File->settings->advanced->allow-socket-commands, you can telnet to a running AC3D and send it a list command to get a list of all available commands.

e.g.

telnet localhost 1655
ac3d list

This will list all the commands, their parameters and a short text description.

You can edit the files in the TCL folder to change the UI. If you want to add extra functionality without editing them, make a patch.tcl file in the tcl folder - this will be run when AC3D starts.

For more info about TCL/Tk, see www.scriptics.com
