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
For instructions on how to install plugins, as well as another list, go to [1].
Creating your own Plugins
VO Lua API that can be used for creating plugins can be found at [2].
Available Plugins
This plugin list 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doesn't list all publically available plugins, and includes plugins which are no longer available and have been superceded by in-game functionality.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 do 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.

BotScan
Description: Aids players who are looking for Hive Queens or Leviathans by scanning the toplist for any ships that start with "*Hive Queen" or "*Leviathan", and then displaying any matches to the chatlog. Also scans the missionlist upon docking for any Hive Skirmish missions, and prints sectors that are likely to have Hive Queens or Leviathans to the chatlog.
Created by: MSKanaka
CLI:
/botscan [on|off] -- Master switch. If this is off, the plugin doesn't run.

/botscan levi [on|off] -- Enables or disables checks for Leviathans on sector entry.
/botscan mission [on|off] -- Enables or disables missionlist scanning. Turned off by default. Only turn this on if you don't mind your chatlog being spammed; if there are a lot of skirmish missions available at the station, it will print a line for every 'critical' and 'central' mission it sees. Independent of the queen and levi settings.
