VMD Plugin Library

VMD 1.8.2 compatible plugins:

The link below will download the latest directory of VMD 1.8.2 compatible plugins for all of the supported platforms. We intend to provide a new "updater" plugin soon. Until the updater plugin is ready, you may manually unpack this plugin distribution into a directory on your system. Once unpacked, you can use the new plugins by adding commands similar to the following examples, to your personal .vmdrc or vmd.rc file:

Unix and MacOS X .vmdrc additions: 

menu main on
# Load the molecule file reader plugins
vmd_plugin_scandirectory [file join $env(HOME) plugins [vmdinfo arch] molfile] *.so
# This command will evaluate to something like:
#   vmd_plugin_scandirectory   /users/johns/plugins/SOLARIS2/molfile   *.so

Windows vmd.rc additions: 
menu main on
# Load the molecule file reader plugins
vmd_plugin_scandirectory   c:/plugins/WIN32/molfile   *.so

Newest VMD 1.8.2 plugins for all platforms

Note that when unpacked, this archive will consume approximately 60MB of disk space. Once unpacked, you may delete the subdirectories which correspond to architectures you don't need or use.
