Amethyst (as a homage to Quartz from WoW) is a customizable CastBar replacement for WAR.
It comes with a configuration GUI that can be accessed with /amethyst or /amt
New in 1.4:
SharedAssets Implementation. You can now choose the texture of the cast bar.
New in 1.3:
AmethystEffects is a Plugin that displays the time left of your buffs and debuffs on your targets. You can configure it through the same GUI. If you don't want to use the functionality, you can disable the Plugin in the /addon-Menu.
Dependencies:
This Addon uses LibSlash for slash commands.
A note about the compensate latency option: WAR is quite laggy when it comes to spellcasting. Often a spell won't fire until half a second after the cast is done. Generally, the CastBar won't hide for that additional duration, yet you can move around, the cast will be displayed as aborted but still get fired. 'compansate latency' simply hides the cast bar when the spell is done on the server, so you know when you can move again (or whatever else). In very rare cases this can lead to problems with spell pushback, but shouldn't do so normally.

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".
