What plugins do you use that you can't live without?

What plugins do you use that you can't live without?

In an upcoming patch (News), the devs will be updating the Lua API that to require version information within the plugins. This will cause all plugins that are not set to the latest version of the Lua API to be automatically disabled.

Many plugins don't have active maintainers anymore, so this will potentially leave people with broken plugins.

I am starting this thread as a place for people to post what plugins you need to survive in VO. Hopefully this way someone can volunteer to update those that won't otherwise be updated.

Current list:
Plugin name (current known maintainer)
animatedload (mr_spuck)
AutoAceptEULA (slime)
autojett (slime)
AutoRR (igrok)
cargolist (Mick)
customHUD (Mick)
DevKit (draugath)
MAID (igrok)
MultiAim (Scuba Steve 9.0)
SoundAlertSuite (Chocolateer)
StationFind (Mad Miner Moda)
TargetLess (drazed)
ToasterCrush Suite (Scuba Steve 9.0)
TradersAssistant [assuming TGFT version] (Mad Miner Moda)
utannouncements (slime)

My most essential is TargetLess of course. The only other really important 3rd party plugins I use are the autonav module from TCS, AutoAceptEULA, and AutoRR. The rest of the plugins that are important to me are homebrew, though I do use a number of other 3rd party plugins that are of lesser importance (autojett, animatedload, utannouncements, devkit, cargolist, and the clock and multiaim modules of tcs).

If I wind up fixing any of those 3rd party plugins myself because their authors didn't, I'll post them.

All of them and I will also volunteer. Perhaps it's time I gave some more to the community.

Plugins are for idiots that don't give a shit if their game works, or if it matches up to the experience of the newbs they're trying to "help."
The only plugin I would consider using is oldbars, and I'm a little hesitant about that, because the distance bar gets moved.

Hrmm. If I don't update TCS, someone else will volunteer for it and then I can pretend like I don't have to maintain it publicly anymore.

That's not a terrible idea.

I can live without every single plugin that you people develop.

Not that I don't mess around with them every once in a while.

Keep making things and I'll keep finding ways to live without them! :D

So, if tequila was a plugin.
