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.
  • 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.

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 logged in to Integrator2 you can begin talking in the Cross Server General Chat by typing: /vcg <Your Message Here> without the <>

Integrator2 chat 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.

• You can pop-out any chat channel by opening the Green or White hat icons, selecting your channel or friend and clicking the Chat button
  • Popout chat windows receive a Cookie Icon on the VVS Bar. Click the X to minimize and the RedLink to exit
• The Virindi HUDs Plugin also offers a Chat Window where you can access the /vcg chat.

You can view the ViGeneral Chat Log at http://www.virindi.net/vstats/vi2chat.php

Scroll to the bottom of the page for most recent messages.

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 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.

• Members in a VI2 fellowship will prefer to attack monsters that have been vulned first.

• Members who are vulning will try not to double-vuln (if they begin the spell at the same time this cannot be helped)

• VI2 Fellowships remove the need to have the AC fellowship panel open for Heal Others to work.

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 VI2 map on that character.
• Trgt: Select this character's current target.

Leaving a Fellowship

There are two ways to leave a fellowship:

• 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>
