1.4 Installation

Installing the SoundFX plugin is straightforward and simple: Just copy the file soundfx.hwp for the platform of your choice to Hollywood's plugins directory. The location where Hollywood plugins must be installed differs from platform to platform. Here is a breakdown of the different search paths that Hollywood will scan for plugins:

• – AmigaOS and compatibles: Plugins can either be stored in a directory named Plugins that is in the same directory as the Hollywood interpreter or they can be installed globally in LIBS:Hollywood. Hollywood will first look for plugins in the Plugins directory in its program directory, then it will scan LIBS:Hollywood.

• – Android: The Android version of Hollywood also supports Hollywood plugins. You have to copy them to the directory Hollywood/Plugins on your SD card. Hollywood will scan this location on every startup and load all plugins from there.

• – Linux: Plugins must be stored in a directory named Plugins (case sensitive!) that is in the same directory as the Hollywood interpreter.

• – macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/AirsoftSoftwair/Hollywood/Plugins is the directory that should be used for storing plugins. If it doesn't exist, just create it. Alternatively, you can also store plugins inside Hollywood's app bundle in Hollywood.app/Contents/Resources/Plugins but this isn't recommended because it requires you to modify the Hollywood distribution and it might also require administrator privileges.

• – Windows: C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\AirsoftSoftwair\Hollywood\Plugins is the directory that should be used for storing plugins. If it doesn't exist, just create it. Alternatively, you can also store plugins in the Plugins directory in Hollywood's installation directory, e.g. in C:\Program Files\Hollywood\Plugins but this isn't recommended because it requires you to modify the Hollywood distribution and it might also require administrator privileges to write to Hollywood's installation directory.

On Windows you should also copy the file SoundFX.chm to the Docs directory which you can find in the same directory as the Plugins directory (see above). After you have copied SoundFX.chm to the Docs directory, you will be able to get online help by pressing F1 when the cursor is over a soundfx.hwp function in the Hollywood IDE.

On macOS copy the SoundFX directory that is inside the Docs directory of soundfx.hwp's distribution archive to the Docs directory which you can find in the same directory as the Plugins directory (see above).

On Linux copy the SoundFX directory that is inside the Docs directory of soundfx.hwp's distribution archive to the Docs directory of your Hollywood installation.
