A floating bar containing potions for easy access.
**New features this release: vertical or horizontal bar, autohiding option, scalability, opacity, rearranging the bar, more options for selecting potions. =)**
Presents either your smallest stacks, or strongest potions, based on your preferences. It has a configuration interface for setting preferences, can be moved anywhere on the screen, and, well, works.
Usage: Hold the mouse over the activator (circle) for instructions.
--------------------
-- Important Note --
--------------------
Currently, I'm still working on adding features. Problem is, no way to test them. I'm actively looking for a job, and waiting on my first check from Rent a Coder, and rolling change for food and gas. Food and gas come before paying for my account, and my account came due with under $15 in my bank account. Unless something happens between now and December, I'll be returning to the game first week of Dec. I suggest posting tickets with the exact names of all potions that aren't being displayed as potions, and any potions that are being displayed wrong, that way I have a bunch of stuff to work on and get ready to testing on my return, so that everythings in place for bugfixing before release. Coming up is the much anticipated items and roll-out bars with all potions of the type on them. I REALLY wish I could test as I go, but I have to suffice it with getting it where it looks right, and wait until I can get in game to test it. If you want to help get me online faster, cheapest I can find a game time code that I can purchase with paypal is $29.99 for 60 days. I stuck a donate link at the end if you're interested in helping me.

-- Notes --
-----------
Hover over the circle for instructions
Left click and drag the circle to move
Right click the circle for options, which include Lock, Unlock, and Config

-------------------
-- The Todo List --
-------------------
Ability to display more than one potion (drop down)
Circle or other modes
Add mount and book of binding
Add slots for 'other' items
Some form of hotkeys
Per character settings
---------------------
-- Completed Todos --
---------------------
Revamp Settings Screen -- Done
Auto-hiding bar -- Done
Add ability to scale the bar -- Done
Vertical as well as Horizontal modes -- Done
-------------------
-- Layout Editor --
-------------------
I'm not going to register with layout editor. Keep reading.
This would mean I can't make the window easily movable (layout editor + movable windows = bad juju). If people can't figure it out, left click and drag on the 'activator' to move the window, right click it for options, such as locking, or config.
------------------
-- Localization --
------------------
****Added support for reading German, Spanish, French, and Italian potions.****
User interface is not yet localized, and until ckknight or Kaelten (who have say over the way curse accepts files) allow for easier submitting of files (they filter to very specific, obscure types, when the game allows other, more common types) with special characters, I will not be translating the interface anytime soon. If you'd like a localized interface sooner, please contact them and request adding UTF-8 to allowed encodings.
If there is a request for Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, or Russian, these will be low priority for the same reason localizing the interface is low priority.
-----------------
-- Final Notes --
-----------------
I'm actively working on this, and I've been doing some things not yet done by others in Warhammer, and there's no equal part in other games, so its been alot of trudging through new territory. Please favorite, as I'll be updating as I get new features added, and as the overall addon improves, please make sure you have your correct rating applied, as its evolved quite a bit from the initial release which was just to let others see the very early concept.
**There are some potions that won't show up on the bar.**
There's nothing I can do about them, as they are not reported as potions by Warhammer. One of these is a low level strength potion obtained from quests, there were a few others I noticed as well while scanning the auction house with a special tool to see raw information about them. There's nothing I can do about these easily, as the way it works behind the scenes makes the easy fix break a whole lot of other things. The only fix would be making specific workarounds for every item, which will take alot of effort in finding all the broken items and making workarounds for each. I do intend to work on this, but it is low priority.

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".
