IINACT

What IINACT is
IINACT is a free Dalamud plugin for Final Fantasy XIV that runs FFXIV_ACT_Plugin in an ACT-like environment. It is a standalone parser rather than an overlay display, and works with existing FFXIV_ACT_Plugin and OverlayPlugin tools, including FFLogs and community-made browser overlays. It also supports ACT-compatible overlays and can provide an HTTP proxy for select overlays, helping browsers use local WebSocket connections when they cannot mix HTTPS and WS. Users can generate an overlay URL with the /iinact chat command, but need a separate overlay application to display it. Named choices include BunnyHUD for macOS, HUDKit for Linux, and Browsingway for Windows; other examples include Kagerou, MopiMopi, Ember Overlay, Horizoverlay, and Cactbot.
IINACT uses Unscrambler and does not require extra injection with Deucalion or network capture with elevated privileges. Installation is through the third-party Dalamud plugin repository and Plugin Installer, and the maker says updates are automatic. Logs are saved in the Documents folder and work with the FFLogs Uploader. IINACT supports Linux, macOS, and Windows, is described as fully open source, and uses the GPL-3.0 license. Support is directed to GitHub Issues or Discord; official Dalamud support channels do not support third-party plugins.
Who it suits
IINACT suits Final Fantasy XIV players who want an ACT-like parser that works with existing plugin and overlay tooling. It is a fit for users prepared to run a separate overlay application if they want an on-screen display.

- Works with FFXIV_ACT_Plugin and OverlayPlugin tooling.

What to know first
- Does not render overlays on its own.
- An overlay requires a separate application.
- Official Dalamud support channels do not support third-party plugins.
Limits
The free plan is the listed plan. IINACT does not render overlays itself, so displaying one requires a separate application.

- Add the third-party Dalamud plugin repository.
- Enable IINACT in the Plugin Installer.
- If you want an overlay, choose a separate application and generate an overlay URL with the /iinact chat command.
