THIS IS A CONTINUATION AND REBUFF ON WARBAND MANAGER! IT WAS NO LONGER BEING WORKED ON SO I CHANGED/ADDED/AND FIXED ALOT WITH IT. This is the original description text, I added what I changed in all CAPS.
Group Manager is a tool for use with managing group invites.
THIS ADD-ON REQUIRES LIBSLASH
People in guilds spend so much time it seems looking for groups due to players not being able to pay attention to in game chat due to being occupied with other matters. Group Manager helps alleviate that issue by essentially making the operator a group invite bot. Every ten minutes Group Manager will broadcast to the channel the group currently going on with the password for the group. All anyone has to do is send a tell to the person with just the password in it to automatically receive an invite to the group. I ADDED THE ABILITY TO COUNT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE GROUP AND REPORT THAT AND ALSO THE ABILITY TO BROADCAST THE MESSAGE NOW. ANOTHER ADDITION IS THE ABILITY TO PICK WHICH CHANNEL YOU WANT TO BROADCAST ON. I ALSO MADE IT THAT THE PASSWORD ISN'T CASE SENSITIVE AND CAN ALSO BE ANYWHERE IN THE TELL, NOT JUST THE ONLY WORD
Syntax structure is as follows:
/gpm - Brings up a list of commands
/gpm toggle - Turns WarBand Manager on or off
/gpm broadcast - Turns on guild chat broadcasting of group
/gpm pass [PASSWORD] - sets password of the group
/gpm type [Group Type] - Allows you to set a description of the group type for the broadcast
/GPM CHANNEL [say|guild|alliace} - SET THE CHANNEL TO THE ONE YOU WANT TO BROADCAST ON
/GPM BN - BROADCAST A MESSAGE RIGHT NOW
Presently the format of the broadcast is:
/g [Type] group is currently active WITH # MEMBERS. Please send me a tell saying '[PASSWORD]' for an invite.
When the group/Warband is full it will cease broadcasting the group information.
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".
