How to install Plugins

The plugins have to be installed manually by copying them in the powerGateServer Plugin Folder (C:\ProgramData\coolOrange\powerGateServer\Plugins).
You can use the Plugin Shortcut in the StartMenu to quickly get to the Plugin folder.

How to install Behaviors

Behaviors extend or change the runtime behavior of powerGateServer and need to be placed in the powerGateServer install directory (usually C:\Program Files\coolOrange\powerGateServer).
