Introduction

This page aims to describe how to use OpenKore plugins. Plugins are little perl packages (.pl extension) that extend OpenKore's functionality. They do this by reacting to built-in events in kore called hooks.

Downloading

You can download most plugins from the official OpenKore plugin repository at SourceForge:


Notes:

  • It is advised to get the entire <pluginname>/trunk folder of the plugin.
  • Unofficial sources are unsafe to get plugins from. (forums, third party, ...)
  • Using the plugins from the OpenKore plugin repository helps developers fix and maintain them.


Installing

Rename the trunk folder that you downloaded to <pluginname> and place it in the plugins folder so that you end up with plugins/<pluginname>.

Notes:

  • OpenKore only looks for plugins down to 2 levels of the specified plugins folder. (ex. /plugins/<pluginname>/<pluginname.pl>)
  • Additional configuration may be required to get the plugins to work. (in: sys.txt, config.txt, ...)
  • Which plugins folder to use can be configured. (this is unnecessary in most cases)


Configuring

How to configure a specific plugin to your needs can be found on the forum and in some cases in <pluginname>/trunk/doc. The goal is to port this information to the wiki (ex. macro plugin, wx captcha).
