VoidFax

The internet can fax your base. Share your printer link and real people send images and messages that physically print out of the fax machine in your game - with the full printing animation, as real photo props that persist in your save.

How it works

1. Install the mod and launch VotV (a09n).
2. The mod gives your game a unique printer code (like VF-K3XQ9F) and a share link. Find them in the UE4SS log, or open the in-game console (~) and type voidfax code.
3. Share the link (voidfax.com/id/YOUR-CODE) with friends, chat, stream viewers - anyone.
4. They open it, type a message or attach an image, hit TRANSMIT.
5. Your fax machine wakes up and prints it. That's it.

Faxes arrive while you play (the mod checks every 20 seconds). If the fax is busy or you're in the menu, they queue up and print when possible.

Console commands

The feed site

• Everyone sees the queue/feed for your printer and whether it's online.
• Posting has a cooldown per person; names lock after the first fax.
• A profanity filter blocks the truly vile stuff (18+ language is allowed - this is Voices of the Void, not kindergarten).
• The site remembers your printer, and every fax shows who sent it.
• You moderate your own feed: voidfax admin gives you a private link with DELETE and BAN buttons for your printer only. Don't share that one.

Notes

• Built for VotV a09k with UE4SS/shimloader (installed automatically by your mod manager).
• Your game only talks to voidfax.com - no accounts, no personal data; the mod generates a random printer identity on first run.
• Printed faxes are normal physical photos: pin them up, burn them, trash them.
• Made by Flyingcoyote. If VoidFax made your base feel less alone out there.

Enjoy, Flyingcoyote

1.0.7

• Linux/Proton: the mod can now use the Linux system's own curl (via Wine's start /unix bridge) - no curl.exe needed in the prefix in most setups. Both transports are probed at startup and whichever works is used.
• Clearer log guidance when no network path is available.

1.0.6

• Linux/Proton (Steam Deck, Bazzite) compatibility: fixes the game closing instantly on launch. Under Wine the mod skips the Windows script host and uses direct networking; nothing spawns during game boot on any platform.
• If networking is unavailable the mod idles gracefully with a clear log message instead of failing.

1.0.5

• First launch prints a welcome fax with your printer code and share link - no more digging through logs.
• All links (including your private admin link) are saved to VoidFax_links.txt next to the game's exe.

1.0.4

• Version bump for release; contains the silent-networking fix below.

1.0.3

• No more flashing terminal windows: networking now runs through a single hidden background worker. Fixes the mod not working for players without the UE4SS console.
• Better diagnostics: voidfax status reports the network worker state, and the mod tells you if it can't reach the server.

1.0.2

• Poll interval is configurable in-game (voidfax interval <seconds>) and persists.
• Default check rate is now 10 seconds (was 20).

1.0.1

• New icon.
• Admin-page password option (voidfax password <word>).
• Docs polish.

1.0.0

• Initial release for VotV a09k.
• Unique printer code + shareable link (voidfax.com/id/CODE) per installation.
• Prints community images & messages through the game's own fax/photo pipeline (real animation, persistent photo props).
• Console commands: voidfax code / status / poll / test.
• Feed site with cooldowns, name-locking, moderation and share links.
• Per-printer moderation: private admin link (voidfax admin) with delete/ban, plus optional approval mode (nothing prints until you approve it).
• Optional admin-page password (voidfax password <word>) as a second lock on top of the admin link.
