Since OverlayPlugin 0.19.19, OverlayPlugin will emit log lines for RSV -> overrides: 0x106 RSVData. This functionality could be moved into the ACT plugin and used to automatically apply RSV overrides without having to manually update the override mappings.

Are the overrides sent only on zone entry, or are they regularly resent to the client, for example mid-fight or on every pull?

@valarnin did the work to add the functionality to OverlayPlugin, he would be best to answer the particulars.

Only sent on zone entry.

This is not something I am in favor of moving into the base plugin. It would complicate the end-user experience for less advanced users, since they would need to start ACT before zone-in even with injection on. It could cache data to a local file after the first time it is received, but would still require users to start ACT early to build the cache.

I would be more in favor of reading translation files or remote JSON vs automatically parsing the RSV Data.
