The job market is tough, and it helps knowing at a glance, exactly what careers are out there.
Guidance Counselor is a dev/author AddOn consisting of table lookups for career icons + colors. Archetype colors are credited to Aiiane from CleanUnitFrames/Squared.
Usage
GuidanceCounselor.Color( careerName or careerIconId, colorType )
careerName (string)
self-explanatory
careerIconId (number)
see EATemplate_Icons for getting career icon id from career names id or career line
colorType (string)
"appearance" returns a career color based on race, key abilities, and appearance
"archetype" returns an archetype color based on CleanUnitFrames/Squared
"icon" returns a career color based off of the career icon
Examples
Magus = GuidanceCounselor( "Magus", "appearance" )
Marauder = GuidanceCounseolor( "Marauder", "icon" )
Shaman = GuidanceCounselor( "Shaman", "archetype" )

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".
