Aura
Aura provides visual cues to the user depending upon criteria the users specifies. Being able to quickly see when you or your targets receive a certain buff or debuff, the time left on the buff, or knowing quickly when your have an ability come off cooldown can make or break the tide of a fight.
Some things Aura can alert you on:
- When you get a certain buff/debuff( "Enfeebling Strike", "Gork Sez Stop", etc )
- When you build enough career points( ie. "High Magic", "Grudge", etc )
- When an ability becomes available( ie. Reactionary styles )
- When an ability comes off of cooldown( ie: Any of them, including morale abilities )
- When you have a certain tactic on/off.
- When you or your target get above/below a certain percent of hit points
- When your action points go above or below a certain point
What type of notifications can Aura give:
- Display a texture of your choice on the screen
- You specify the location, size, scale, rotation, color tint, including animation
- Play a sound of your choice
- Display alert text of your choice
- Display a timer on effects, or on ability cooldown
- You specify the location, size and color tint of the timer.

Bugs & Suggestions
Have an idea that you think should be added to Aura, or perhaps you found an issue you would like to report?
Head to CurseForge and report it here. This way it can get documented, and I receive an email when the ticket comes in so I can prioritize accordingly. Its much easier than scouring the posts on Curse, Warhammer Alliance, VN, etc.

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".
