alertMod allows the user to modify the appearance of the huge scrolling alert text in the middle of your screen. You can change the size of the alert font. By default it sets the size of the alerts to a little bigger than half of what they are set to by Mythic. You can also change a few other things like how long an alert is displayed and how far from the top of your screen they start.
Slash Commands:
/am or
/alertmod opens the alertMod Window.
All of the old slash commands in the previous version are replaced with the window.
Dependencies:
alertMod requires LibSlash
ToDo:
I am pretty happy this mod for now. It does everything I wanted when I began making it. After I started I came up with more ideas like changing colors and setting a different font for each alert. I could still add these in if enough people want it but I just don't think its really necessary. However if you want to change each font independently of the rest you can edit the saved variables file.
GUI added, slash commands removed except /am and /alertmod
Installation Guide
- Exit "Warhammer Online" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Verify your WAR Installation Path
That is where you are running WAR from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your Warhammer Online folder. (default is C:\Program Files\Warhammer Online\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start Warhammer Online
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of WAR. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
