Description
npc for Vortex brings the power of npc to Vortex, making it simple for you to expose npc procedures from a Vortex extension.
With npc, it is trivial to expose a function in Vortex which can then be called by another running process on the user's machine, e.g. a BepInEx plugin, a Node.js app, really anything that can run code and access named pipes.
At this time, npc only has an official library in Node.js. A .NET npc client library is currently in active development.
This extension also exposes several built-in functions of Vortex to be called via npc.
For Node.js and general Vortex extension development, we also recommend that you install the following packages:
