I was wondering if anyone out there knew how to install How to Script-Fu version - plug-ins into Gimp plug-ins folder....?

Thanks....

Place the script-fu.scm file into ~/.gimp/scripts

and you do know that gimp 2.6.11 is the current version

some scm plugins have normal plugins with them( resynthesizer is one )
IF you ran the install
the plugin will be installed in the gimp install folder
/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plugins
-- or if there is a root folder --
/root/.gimp-2.6/scripts

if ran as a normal user
"make install" will put it in ~/.gimp-2.6/scripts

now if it is a OLD gimp 2.2 or 2.4 scm / plugin
you might need to use "gimptool-2.0 " to install

now some do not have a install option .For those you need to manually "copy/paste" it into the script folder

I have gimp 2.6.8 and I appreciate both of your replies, but with that being said, I have no idea what to do, based on what you wrote.

I dragged the file into the plug-in folders, but do not see any evidence that it works.

how about you informing us as to just WHAT the plugin is
and did you get it from the gimp-plugin registry

that way we can help

Thanks John, for the reply, sorry I posted a few hours late, could not get away from work.

Okay what I am trying to do: I am trying to create the word font look of the word WARCRAFT font with Gimp.

I am trying to get the semi dimensional raised shadow look and not necessarily the word Warcraft.

Here's an outstanding video by this kid named GimpKnowHow, go to the 3:12mins section of the video and next to the word "filter" in Gimp, his video shows the word Script-Fu to navigate to this needed menu, to get that signature look.

The Font install was easy - Script-Fu is another story.

Font:

I appreciate any advice.

there is no need to install anything for adding a "shadow"
That is built into Gimp

gimnp2.6.11 is the current and what i have installed ( been using gimp for 9+ years )

filter/Light& shadow / drop shadow
-- like this --?
( default font)
http://www.imagebam.com/image/b98eb9103867569

and have a look at the default settings ( and give them a try )
file/create /logo
( that is also the same as )
filter/alpha to logo


as for installing a font
just copy/paste the *.ttf( true type font) to your
~/.fonts folder , in YOUR home folder
log out then log back in -- it is installed .

now this old 2008 scm "Layer Effects"
http://registry.gimp.org/node/186

most things are all ready built into gimp ,there is no need to try to get it to work .

you can if you want just move the "layerfx.scm" to
/home/" your user name" /.gimp-2.6/scripts
-- or the same folder --
~/.gimp-2.6/scripts
the scm would cut a few steps off using the "bevel and emboss"

Well it was pretty hard to follow GimpKnowhow's tutorial and navigating through my version of gimp. You'd have to see the video.

Anway, here is a snapshot of what I did, prior to reading your/this response from you.

My Warcraft "test" example does not look as good as his (GimpKnowHow's), but then again, I was just shooting in the dark and did not know what I was doing.

The Fonts as I stated earlier was the easy part.

My WarCraft example.

Any thoughts or ideas...? Can you try to it and give a step by step short tutorial how you navigated through Gimp...?

Thanks for your help....

Okay John, was able to get the"layerfx.scm" to
my /home/" your user name" /.gimp-2.6/scripts folder

It now appears in the menu....

I'll keep retrying working on a different picture to improve it.

Thanks, a bunch!!!!!

Here is a pic of my Gimp Menu:

Oh one your your picture links doesn't work.....

Okay, here's where I am at, I was able to get the Script-Fu menu installed, but I am not able to get the same menu he does and cannot duplicate the white and the red like he does. For some reason, my Gimp does not allow me the menu where I can hit repeat this step over and over. I just don't know what I am doing wrong.

Here is the new one:

I just cant get the menu like GimpKnowHow does it, so its hard to duplicate the exact same steps to achieve the same sort of look.

Oaky John,

I'm getting close, he talks really fast so I slowed everything down. I added a layers tab in my Gimp toolbox so I could follow his steps a bit more easily. I just have to figure out the black outline around the word WarCraft.

it DOSE work.

for starters -- that video is on a apple mac
and the version of gimp used it the OLD gimp 2.4 or 2.2

On your picture link, I just see the word "Test" on my Browser. I didn't catch he was using Mac.

This is the best I could do:
