Simple addon to display text alerts in the scrolling alert area when you recieve Tells, Scenario, Guild and Party messages. The alert is the actual message itself.
LibSlash is an optional addon that allows you to change the settings. The addon will work with the defaults without it, but it is highly recommended.
Usage:
/chatter [party|scenario|guild|tell|sound|mymsgs] [on|off]
/chatter [size] [small|medium|large|huge]
Examples:
/chatter party off = turns party notifications off
/chatter mymsgs off = won't display text messages you write
/chatter size huge = sets the text alerts to huge
/chatter sound on = adds a small sound to the alert
Update 10/4:
-- Color of alert will be as that used in chat box for each type
-- Officer and Warband now in separate alerts
-- Added support for Alliance and Alliance Officer
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".
