[Mac] Help with plugins that have meta-inf files and multiple .jars [SOLVED]

SOLVED, Thank you

I have chosen two plugins today that i want to install but when i open the .zip folder i have the following inside ;

Com Folder
META-INF
plugin.yml

Is there a specific way to unzip them or if its as simple as dropping the .jar files into the plugin folder. There are a total of 10 .jars inside and surely they all cant go into the plugin folder.

 

So you're just trying to install the plugins right? If so then you just simply drag the .jar files and place them into the plugin folder, then run the server, should have no errors at all. May i ask which plugins you are installing?

The thing is with this there are 13 .jar files.....Surely thats excessive. The plugin doesn't have a compressed .jar file. I will try and put all in and see if that works.

 

Should work, not sure why there are 13 .jar files, but i guess that's how it was made. Not much you can do unless you know how to compress them into one .jar file like Essentials is? Give me an update if it goes wrong.

 

Well that doesnt work, it doesnt load a single one, there must be a way to compress them......

 

There should be, im unaware of how to, and quite dazzled of why it comes in 13 seperate .jar files. It doesnt say how to and/or that you need to compress them in the User Guide on the post either.

 

Nope, like most plugins they are designed for windows predominately. I will figure this out lol. Cheers for your help anyway. Worse case scenario i dont install, no biggy

 

Your problem is that whatyever browser you are using is treating the jar file as a zip file and is showing you what is inside of the jar file.

command signs only has a single jar file. this i can confirm.

See? Commandsigns.jar. That needs to go into your plugins folder.

 

Thank you, yeah i figured this out lol, will change header to say SOLVED.

Cheers for the support guys.
