BuffHead adds buff and debuff indicators above players' or mobs' heads, letting you keep tabs on what effects you've got running on who. Each buffs gets displayed with:
- Icon, which fades as the duration ends
- Timer bar, colored to match the effect type
- Numeric duration
BuffHead is good for keeping track of debuffs on multiple targets, as you can easily see who has what effects even as you switch targets. Note, however, that things like AoE effects won't display on all the recipients - the buff data is taken from your target info, so only units you've targeted can get BuffHead indicators.
Configuration - Requires LibSlash
- /buffhead casteronly on|off: Toggles whether all buffs are displayed, or only buffs for which you are the caster. Default is on.
- /buffhead selfbuff on|off: Toggles whether buffs applied to yourself are shown when you are not your defensive target. Default is off.
- /buffhead maxdur #: Buffs with a remaining duration under # seconds will not be displayed. Default is 60 seconds.
- /buffhead hide|show <skillname>: Filter out individual skills (hide), or undo a filtering assignment (show).
- /buffhead size #: Sets the icon size. Default is 48.
- /buffhead height #: Adjusts the icon height over the target. Larger numbers mean higher, negative values are valid. Default is 20.
10/23/08 v1.1
- Icons now resizable via slash command.
- Height of the icons relative to the target now adjustable via slash command.
- More bug fixes, including ChatWindow references.
- Icons now clear when the target dies. NOTE: I consider this feature somewhat of a beta thing, it's not perfect and hasn't been thoroughly tested. If you encounter any problems please leave a comment so I can investigate.
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".
