Virindi Integrator 2 is a Decal plugin designed to augment the game with networked functions. It is a part of the Virindi Plugin Bundle.

Overview

VI2 connects to a central server in order to provide fellow-like groups, friends notifications, tells, automated mapping and ally location awareness. Friends and tells in VI2 operate through an account-based system; sent tells go to every character logged in under the same VI2 account, and friends logging on to their VI2 account appear as online regardless of which AC character or server they are logged in to. VI2 is completely AC-world independent, allowing communication and even questing to function easily across different game worlds.

Like all Virindi Plugins Bundle components, VI2 is currently under development. For support, please visit the Bundle thread on the VN Boards.

Known Bugs

Friends List

To Add Integrator2 Friends

Click the Green Hat on the Virindi Bar, Then in the box at the bottom type in that character's (Virindi Chat) Name, then click Add.

Once they are added any time they log in or out on any character regardless of server it will show them online, and what server/character they are logged in on.

Sending Tells to a Friend

Also from the Integrator2 Friends window you can send the selected character a /tell by clicking their name and then Send Tell.

In the chat window it should read /vit <Name>

You can open a private conversation in a window by clicking your friend's name and then clicking Chat, which will open a new conversation window.

Chat

Once the bundled version of Virindi's Plugins is installed, you may chat on the Virindi Chat System by typing: /vcg <Your Message Here>

Virindi's Chat System spans across all of the servers and is independent of In-Game Chat.

Chat in the Vigeneral channel is strictly monitored. All chat is expected to be civil and restricted to PG-type language. PK chat is not allowed.

If you wish to move this chat to a window other than the main chat window, see Virindi Chat System 5.

Example:

[VI][Vigeneral]Name 1 says, Message Here.

[VI][Vigeneral]Name 2 says, Message Here.

[VI][Vigeneral]Name 1 says, Message Here.

[VI][Vigeneral]Name 3 says, Message Here.

[VI][Vigeneral]Name 1 says, Message Here.

Fellowships

Creating a Fellowship

Integrator2 Fellowships may be created in one of two ways.

• You can type /vij <Fellowship Name> in the main chat box and you should see in green text: [VI] Entered fellow <Fellowship Name>
• You can click the White Hat on the Virindi Bar, then at the top click Fellow, and in the box at the bottom input the fellowship name and click Add. (A fellowship name with no spaces is better.)

Either way you are now in your first Integrator2 Fellowship.

If you do not wish others to be able to see your stats and location, it is suggested that you select a non-obvious fellowship name and only share it with those you wish to join.

Fellowship Members Panel

Once you are in an Integrator2 fellowship, a new 'leadership' icon window will appear in the Virindi Bar. Clicking it opens the fellowship members panel, where you can see the stats of the other members of this fellowship.

In the fellowship members window you will see the Name, (Level), Location, Health, Stamina, and Mana of the fellowship members.

Also, to the right of Health, Stamina and Mana you will see three buttons:

• /t: Send a /tell to the selected person.
• *: Centers the map on that character.
• Trgt: Select this character's current target.

Leaving a Fellowship

There are two ways to leave a fellowship:

• Can click the White Hat on the Virindi Bar, then at the top click fellow and click your fellowship name so it is highlighted in purple. Finally, click remove.
• Type /vip <Fellowship Name> in the main chat box.

You should see some green text:
[VI] Left fellow <Fellowship Name>

You may also zoom the map with the mouse wheel in both windowed and full-screen modes.

• Objects: A list of the Nearby Objects. Note: As you move around, you will currently have to switch back to the Map tab for this list to be updated.
