Overview

Furnarchy is a pluggable, scriptable, skinnable extension program for the social game Furcadia.

Furnarchy can be considered a "proxy," in the Furcadian sense of the word, but while most other proxies work by sitting between the Furcadia client's and the game server's network connection, Furnarchy instead embeds itself into the actual Furcadia client, modifying its code and behavior on-the-fly. In doing so, Furnarchy seamlessly integrates its features with the client to make for a much more enjoyable and intuitive game experience.

Furnarchy 2 free, proudly open source, written in a mixture of C++, C++/CLI, and x86 assembly, and runs under Windows 2K/XP/Vista/7 or in Linux under WINE (click here for Linux instructions).

Furnarchy's in-game module menu interface fully expanded, showing 5 loaded modules.

Your Proxy, However You Want It

Because Furnarchy is modular, its feature set is determined by what modules, scripts, and filters you decide to install.

Modules

Modules are powerful plugins for Furnarchy, and typically come in the form of a shared library (.DLL) file. They have near limitless access to the actual Furcadia client, and so can provide many of the feature-rich and seamless extensions that Furnarchy has been known for.

Launcher

The Launcher is designed to help enhance your Furcadia experience by wrapping every aspect of character modification, including AFK settings, color selection, description and avatar choice, into one simple application used specifically to log your character into Furcadia, ready to go with whatever Digo and Portrait you want already waiting for you.

The Curses Character Launcher provides an enhanced login screen and character editor.

Scripts

Scripts, although not as powerful as modules, can also provide convenient little extensions to the client. They don't have the same unfettered access to the client as modules do and concern themselves primarily with processing network data and handling some basic player input. However, they're lighter, much easier to create and modify, and can be loaded and unloaded on-the-fly.

The "acrophobia" script hosting a friendly game of acrophobia. Meanwhile, the "rawterm" script is displaying raw network traffic in a terminal.

Filters

For quick input/output hacks, Furnarchy 2 also has filters, which are a series of perl-compatible regular expression-based substitutions and matches that are applied to incoming or outgoing network traffic.

Avast! The "pirate" filter applied to incoming chatbox text. If @ofuse had been done rather than @ifuse, anything yousay to the world would be pirate-ified before going out.

Don't Give Up Your Old Proxy!

If you're still not completely sold on Furnarchy, or you simply can't live without some features from your favorite proxy, you can always combine Furnarchy with your other proxy. Just follow our guide for setting Furnarchy up as a dual proxy to get the best of both worlds!
