BuffBegoneUltra disables display of ALL buffs displayed in the default interface bufftracker windows.
INSTALL. Place folder here: <WAR>/Interface/Addons/<BuffBegoneUltra> and /reloadui.
UNINSTALL: Place folder here: <WAR>/Disable/<BuffBegoneUltra> (or just delete it) and /reloadui.
There are no toggles or switches. If you want a mod package that includes several child mods and toggles to turn each on or off, see the Begone, Begone! addon.
Good Addon Seeks Selfless Project Manager
I would mark this page officially abandoned if that didn't turn off syndication to curse.com ... so it says I am project manager, but rest assured no updates will be made until someone else asks me to hand over the keys.
The best place to start hacking is the public sandbox clone repository, no username or password required. Just download and upload using SVN (with software such as TortoiseSVN for Windows - use Google and look at CurseForge knowledge base on repositories to figure this out).
The basic reason for abandonment is to simplify my project list. I have enough on my plate that I don't need to be updating a dozen individual addons that each do small, discrete tasks. However, I am happy to package them into Begone! so that they will get controller code there to activate/deactivate each child addon. This way, we can both have the child addons updated with functionality users want and have them bundled reliably into a package (the latter being the maintenance job I continue to do). The other good reason is that this highlights the fact that open source software encourages contributions from multiple sources and has no exclusive owner.
Bug Stuff
Caveats and known issues: Other addons that expect the bufftracker windows to be there and don't have a handling case for when they are hidden entirely will break. (I don't know of any, just saying.)
Compatability list: Tested with BuffBegone (which becomes redundant), with Zypher's (Adalyn's) zBuffBars, with Aiiane's update to WhinySpellTimer, and with WarBuffBars (wbb)... as of 10/13/2008. Unknown effects may occur with WindowCleaner (which has toggles to turn various buff windows on and off, meaning that you should put this redundant addon in a different folder while trying out WindowCleaner).

BuffBegoneUltra 1.0:
This is the ONLY release of this project by BotanicalPuppet. You should adopt this project if you would like to see more changes, as it has been abandoned by BotanicalPuppet. The original coder will continue to patch in the mainlines releases of this and other addons into "Begone, Begone!" as they are updated by others.
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".
