== Installing Plugins ==


For instructions on how to install plugins, as well as another list, go to [http://vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/1/17439].
Installation instructions vary by platform, but in general, installing plugins involves copying files from the archive you download to ''<game install directory>/plugins/''. If a plugin is Neoloader-compatible, it may need to be enabled in-game as well, depending on the user's configuration.

VO Lua API that can be used for creating plugins can be found at [http://www.vo-wiki.com/racecar].
Mac users will right click the vendetta app in the finder application and select the option "Show Package Contents".


= Available Plugins =
iOS users need to attach their device to a computer running iTunes, and sync a plugins folder into the game.
* Create a folder anywhere, name it "plugins", and add your plugins to it as if it were your game's plugin directory.
* Connect your iOS device and open iTunes.
* Open your device information and settings window (small button in top-left), then select the option "File Sharing"
* Select Vendetta Online from the list of apps on the left
* Click and drag your plugins folder onto the right side pane (select overwrite if prompted)


The list below has been culled from various sources, doesn't list all publically available plugins, and includes plugins which are no longer available and have been superceded by in-game functionality. The list is slowly being cleaned up, but until then, you may be slightly frustrated by some breakage.  If you <em>do</em> find broken plugins, please move them to the "Broken Plugins" section down the bottom, and note why they're broken so they can be fixed or removed.
Android users need to use an updated file manager such as NMM or X-plore on versions 12 and below. For Android 13+, pilots will need to connect their device to a computer to access the /android/data directory. This is due to scoped storage permissions.


The [http://www.voupr.com Vendetta Online Unofficial Plugin Repository (VOUPR)] is also a growing source for plugin hosting and information.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yrMn3niWTY This youtube guide] should provide visual aide for the process, and is only slightly out of date in regards to Android.

Latest revision as of 01:13, 10 June 2024

Ever since the underlying Lua interface code was opened up to VO's player base, Vendetta Online features the possibility for users to write their own plug-ins, affecting everything from the game's interface to in-game communication to game mechanics.

Installing Plugins

Installation instructions vary by platform, but in general, installing plugins involves copying files from the archive you download to <game install directory>/plugins/. If a plugin is Neoloader-compatible, it may need to be enabled in-game as well, depending on the user's configuration.

Platform Common install directory
Windows C:\Program Files (x86)\Vendetta
Linux /home/<user>/.vendetta
Mac <special>
Android*** /android/data/com.guildsoftware.vendetta/files
iOS <special>
VR Depends on device; usually follows android but requires headset to be connected and explorable by connected PC.

Mac users will right click the vendetta app in the finder application and select the option "Show Package Contents".

iOS users need to attach their device to a computer running iTunes, and sync a plugins folder into the game.

  • Create a folder anywhere, name it "plugins", and add your plugins to it as if it were your game's plugin directory.
  • Connect your iOS device and open iTunes.
  • Open your device information and settings window (small button in top-left), then select the option "File Sharing"
  • Select Vendetta Online from the list of apps on the left
  • Click and drag your plugins folder onto the right side pane (select overwrite if prompted)

Android users need to use an updated file manager such as NMM or X-plore on versions 12 and below. For Android 13+, pilots will need to connect their device to a computer to access the /android/data directory. This is due to scoped storage permissions.

This youtube guide should provide visual aide for the process, and is only slightly out of date in regards to Android.

Creating your own Plugins

VO Lua API that can be used for creating plugins can be found at [1].

Available Plugins

This page tracks many well-known plugins found across the public repositories listed below. It is not meant to be an encompassing list, but serves to track some of the most popular plugins used by many pilots.
