Plug-ins
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 some mechanics.
AutoJett
Description: Automatic jettison of certain ores.
Created by: slime73
CLI:
/autojett -- lists commands ingame.
/autojett toggle -- toggles AutoJett on or off.
/autojett switch -- switches between jettisoning all ores, or just non-rare ores.
/autojett list -- lists all ores which won't be jettisoned if AutoJett Switch is on.
Additional information & download: AutoJett plug-in thread entry
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 queen [on|off] -- Enables or disables checks for Hive Queens on sector entry.
/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.

In the pipe:
- Bugfixes (if any).
- Less spammy missionlist checking. Fixed. Thanks Naut!

customHUD

Created by: maq
CLI:

/customhud config - shows config window (duh)
Additional information & download: maq's plug-in thread
User comments: 'A small but drastic change. With my penchant for keeping only relevant combat information around my central HUD elements, customHUD is essential. Together with DistanceMeter, you've got yourself a HUD that actually aids you in combat, not hinders you.' - Ion
DistanceMeter
Description: Another very simple plugin, this one moves the Distance meter (and the sector alignment info) to the bottom of the HUD, like it was with the old Vendetta client. *** Broken slightly if used with the latest version of TargetLS ***
Created by: slime73
Additional information & download: DistanceMeter plug-in thread entry
User comments: 'A welcome change back to the old style. To my mind, the only information that should be near to the central crosshair is information that pertains to the battle between yourself and your current target, and DistanceMeter remedies one annoyance in this respect.' - Ion
FactionColor
Description: Factions whose names are checked in the /factioncolor dialog will have their ship names coloured based on their default ship colour. For example, Xang Xi will be teal in the sectorlist and the TargetLS HUD list.

Description: Jettisons items in your cargo hold in 1cu increments.

User comments: 'I longed for this functionality for a year (but was apparently never smart enough to actually request it). Suddenly, as if by magic (or possibly industrial espionage) there was a plug-in which did all I had dreamt of, and today, I consider it the single most important addition available to VO's HUD. An enormous aid in large battles.' - Ion
