RMMV Yanfly's Grid-Free Doodads - doesn't work?

Referring to this resource:
http://www.yanfly.moe/wiki/Grid-Free_Doodads_(YEP)

I have followed the instruction exactly, but the plugin does not appear in my Plugin Manager because there is no .JS file in the download. The only thing in the RAR file is a file called doodads.json (which goes in your DATA folder) and the folder of images called "doodads" which they said to put in the IMG folder.

How can this work with no Javascript file?
How can I get it to appear in my plugin manager so I can install it?

Also - opened the .json file and all it said was "Null"

I appreciate any help, and in particular and other plugin that adds layers to the map design.

Thank you!

The .json file is supposed to be null. It's empty because you still haven't used any doodads.
As for the missing .js file, you can't use the plugin without it. It's the main thing. Not sure why that would happen. Because people would notify Yanfly it's not there and the right file would be updated in this case. Did you buy it recently?

I figured it out by digging a bunch - you have to pay for the plugins from their site - they stripped the .js files from all the downloads. The owner just didn't technically put that anywhere on their site ( I imagine many noobs everywhere have made that mistake). I will pay for it!
