VenueSync

VenueSync is a custom Dalamud repository plugin for Final Fantasy XIV that synchronizes venue‑specific mods for visitors and staff. It uses your current in‑game house/location to determine which mods should be loaded and is privacy‑safe by default.

How it works

• Syncs venue mods between users based on the house you are currently in.
• Opt‑in by default: no mods are downloaded unless you enable them per‑mod or switch the plugin to opt‑out.
• Suitable for casual visitors (zero setup) and for venue staff/regulars who want automatic syncing.

Identity and verification

• Leverages XIVAuth for Lodestone verification.
• Character verification is only required if you use VenueSync beyond simply visiting venues (e.g., venue ownership or staff tools).
• House verification controls:
  • Personal houses are verified through an in‑game method.
  • Free Company houses use Lodestone checks for the FC leader and the house address.

Venues and locations

• Define your venue and configure one or more locations, each linked to a verified house.
• Provide venue details such as staff roster, hours, schedule, and any related streams (e.g., Twitch).
• Attach mods to specific locations so the correct set loads automatically when visitors arrive.

Mods and mod manager

• Link VenueSync entries to Penumbra mods.
• Venue mods follow a specific layout: all files live under the default option, and only a single AVFX file is redirected, with supplementary ATEX/TEX/MDL/MTRL files included as needed.
• Preview mods using VenueSync and upload them to the service with versioning.

Privacy and control

• No downloads occur unless you opt in per‑mod or set the plugin to opt‑out mode.
• You can disable or remove venue mods at any time.
