I have made a plugins folder as stated in the Program Files x86 Vendetta location and nada. I have unzipped them and copied the files twice and nothing

You need to unzip them, and usually copy the folder from inside the zip to your plugin folder (most unzip programs will create a folder with the archive name, with the plugin folder inside this). A main.lua MUST exist inside the plugins folder, so using the defaults and targetless as an example, your folder/file structure should be:

C:\Program Files(x86)\Vendetta Online\plugins\targetless\main.lua (and other assorted files) - if it looks like C:\Program Files(x86)\Vendetta Online\plugins\some folder name\targetless\main.lua it will not work.
