Asshat is a simple addon that allows you to make a custom 12 character note that attaches to the Friendly or Hostile target frame. The basic idea is that if someone is being an Asshat, you can create a permanent or temporary note about that player.
For example, as a healer in Scenarios, I absolutely hate when a DPS player forms a group by themselves in order to leech XP. I wanted to make a point of NOT healing those players so I created this addon to help me mark them with a "NoHeals" note that is prominently displayed on the target frame whenever I target them.
This could just as easily be a note that said "Sick DPS" or "Moron" or whatever it is I wanted to note about the player.
This also works with Hostiles, so if you want to call particular attention to a player then you can note them as well. For example, you could create a permanent note of "Ganked Me" if they had ganked you in an Open ruleset.
The notes themselves are custom, so I can see any number of reasons for using such an addon.
Usage:
/asshat [temp|perm] [name] [note]
/asshat [reset] [temp|perm]
Example:
/asshat perm Jomamma NoHeals
-- This would create a permanent note for Jomamma that said "NoHeals"
Macro Script:
/script Asshat.TargetNote(note, isFriendly, isPerm)
Example:
/script Asshat.TargetNote("NoHeals", true, false)
-- This would create a temporary note for my Friendly target with "NoHeals" as the note.
/script Asshat.TargetNote("Ganked Me")
-- This would create a permanent note for your Hostile target with "Ganked Ms" as the note.
You might find the macro method more useful if you want to create a number of custom notes and want to just be able to select a target and set the note with a button push.
Caveats:
Maximum note size is 12 characters. Also requires LibSlash to be installed for slash commands.
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".

That is where you are running WAR from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.

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".
