Chatty Cathy
New in 1.0.5
Due to requests, Chatty Cathy now can be set to hide or show the tabs for each chat
window. All tabs will be shown regardless when hidden elements are shown as before.
Description
Chatty Cathy is a chat addon that improves the default chat windows by removing clutter and inefficiencies.
To accomplish this, CC will hide all unneeded boxes such as tabs, social menu, and resize buttons for all active windows until they are needed.
CC will also maximize the displayed text in the chat window itself by expanding the text display region to fill the entire chat window with no wasted space.
CC also allows for the moving or hiding of scrollbars on each window. CC improves upon the entry box by allowing the user to place it where they want or anchor it to the top/bottom of any chat window.
The text entry box is improved with a simple flat black background as opposed to the unsightly gray bordered box.
- To move the text entry box when it is not anchored to any windows, use the layout editor.
- To help get the opacity of text entry box just right, you can open it as you would at any time while the options window is open.
Commands
- /ChattyCathy will bring up the options window to customize how CC works.
- /ChattyCathy Show will reshow the hidden components of the chat windows. They will be hidden the next time you open the text entry box for typing.
- ChattyCathy and Show can also be replaced with cc and s for short.

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".
