Prints an alert message on center of your screen when buffed/debuffed by specified buff.
The command it supports are:
/rba addb effect_id message
set an alert message when you're buffed(I call it Begin-alerting).
/rba adde effect_id message
set an alert message when specified buff disappear(I call it End-alerting).
/rba list
list alert messages.
/rba delb effect_id
clear specified Begin-alerting message.
/rba dele effect_id
clear specified End-alerting message.
/rba off
temporary disable buff alerting
/rba on
enable buff alerting
/rba debug
toggle debug mode (for finding effect_id)
Currently it's still a dumb addon, you have to find out the buff's effect_id in following steps:
1. use "/rba debug" to toggle debug mode of this addon, ensure you're in debug mode.
2. in debug mode, each time you're buffed, it'll print an short message like this: "[BuffAlert] THE_NAME_OF_THIS_BUFF (numeric_effect_id)"
3. remember th effect_id you want.
4. use commands above to setup(or clear) alert messages.
As in latest alpha(also means buggy for me lol) release, a new command "/rba show" is added. This command prints a list in chat window, which contains currently enabled buff with their effect_id. The original idea is from Kolakhan (see comments below).
Thanks to AceFramework! It's so easy to add l10n support with AceLocale!
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".
