About BottomsUp

BottomsUp simply moves the chat edit box from the bottom of the main chat box to the top and removes the social button.

//* BottomsUp is returning to it's original functionality of just moving the input box and removing the social button. If you want to get rid of anything else, I recommend MinChat, and if you want to move the Chat Edit Box to anywhere on your screen, please look up BottomsAnywhere, which should be showing up shortly.*//

There are no commands or settings.

Credits:
    Zoog's zChatWindow for inspiration
    Shadowdrun56 for the anchor code
    Firedancer for the social button removal.

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".

Love this mod, but I do have one complaint...
Occasionally the input bar will work itself behind the chat tabs which can make typing a huge pain. Any way you could designate the input to always be on top?

Would you be able to make the chatframe click through? So that I can click mobs underneath the chat box?

I'm with this guy. Click-through chat would be a huge plus.

Simply registering the editbox with the editor without setting anchors should be enough. But if it still resets, then it's attached to the bug with chat box positioning and not much can be done unless you save and set it's position manually. I've been dealing with this with the chat window with my project, so you're not alone.

I did it the second way with BottomsAnywhere. It is a huge pain in the butt. Although it looks like that Chatty Cathy mod re-parented it to a separate frame that was registered and that seemed to work as well.

Well I'll be the first to admit I don't actually know how to save that information ^^; But I'll look into it and see what I can do.

Maybe you can borrow the code from Mini World Map, http://war.curse.com/downloads/war-addons/details/miniworldmap.aspx. That addon allows you to set different layers, 0-4, somehting that would fix the problem BottomsUp have with being behind the chat tabs.

Regarding the layers, I tried manually setting them in the addon code and it did nothing. Chat tabs are apparently immune to layers >> Position should be fixable, though.

To be more clear, i believe that registering the editbox to layout editor is enough to be able to move it around and make it save its place.

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Quashi said

Main reason why the edit box doesn't save up is that you clear its anchors everytime interface is loaded (with /reloadui for example) and then add its anchors to be on top of chat window.

KiraDouji said

I understand what you mean, but in testing, this hasn't shown to be the root of the problem. I honestly don't think the game sees the edit box as a real window, which is why it doesn't have a layer position that can be manipulated (eg: the tabs issue) and I have to force it into position (see: BottomsAnywhere when it syndicates).

an hidden*

Quashi said

Hmm i see. Have you tryed to create and "hidden anchor" window, something along the lines of:

CreateWindow( movableEditBox, true )
LayoutEditor.RegisterWindow( "movableEditbox" )
WindowSetShowing( "movableEditBox", false )

Then anchoring the editbox to that hidden frame, which should save its options. (didn't remember all the parameters for layout editor registering so i leaved it little "blank")

Don't know would it work, just something that did come into my mind.

That was an option that was brought up. I went with manually saving and reinstating the position, which works, but now I can't get the chat box to overtake the edit box's old position like I can in BottomsUp

Thanks for looking into that, a pain having to reposition it every login.

Anyone else get flickering scroll bars and arrows? usually when fighting.
small annoyance. Nothing major.
Would be nice either if they stayed there or only show up when you mouse over em.

Also thanks for the code Jar67.

Confirmed. Editor box position is not saved between logins/reloads.

Jaglavak said

Never tried this addon pre-1.0.3 so I'm not sure if its an old issue or somehting new: When you move it with the layout editor and log out, the chat box is back to the default position when you log in again.

"At current, I am tossing about the idea of setting the input box above the chat tabs."

To be perfectly honest, I was expecting this when I installed it in the first place knowing that it would otherwise cover the chat tabs.
