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. Over the time, some of these plug-ins have become an almost essential part of the gameplay.
Installing Plugins
For instructions on how to install plugins, as well as another list, go to [1].
Creating your own Plugins
The VO Lua API that is used for creating plugins can be found at [2].

The list below has been culled from various sources, doesn't list all publically available plugins, and includes some plugins which have been superceded by in-game functionality.
The Vendetta Online Unofficial Plugin Repository (VOUPR) is also a growing source for plugin hosting and information.
