Do you ever miss important in-game events? We have great news for all OpenPlanet and ManiaPlanet players! This powerful, lightweight add-on will help you keep track of key dates, from tournament finals to broadcasts on the Pursuit Channel.
What is the Event Calendar Plugin?
Event Calendar is a new OpenPlanet plugin designed to help the community. Its goal is to provide a simple, convenient tool for tracking upcoming events. Instead of searching forums or social media, you can get all the important information in one place, right within the game interface. It’s the perfect solution for keeping your gaming schedule organised.
Key Features
This plugin stands out for its simplicity and effectiveness. Here are the most important features:
Lightweight Interface: A small, discreet overlay displays upcoming events without disrupting your gameplay.
Sound and Visual Notifications: You can enable optional alerts to ensure you never miss the start of a tournament or an important broadcast.
Support for Pursuit Channel: The plugin specifically highlights and informs you about planned broadcasts on the Pursuit Channel.
Easy Installation: Copy the folder or install the .op package.
Special Pursuit Channel Support
For many players, the ManiaPlanet community and the Pursuit Channel are essential. That’s why the plugin places a special emphasis on integration with this channel. The Event Calendar tracks schedules and allows you to set up notifications that will guarantee you don’t miss any streams or events. This is a key feature that makes this plugin an essential tool for every ManiaPlanet fan.
Extensibility and Community Collaboration
A key goal of this project was to create a tool that would grow with the community. Event Calendar is fully open to extensions. Want to add your own event source? You can do so by implementing a simple parsing module. The author encourages contributions and pull requests on GitHub, making this an ideal gaming event calendar created with players. If you want to join the project, you’ll find all the information in the documentation.
