Version 1.2: Updated Release.
***Addon Requires Libslash ( http://war.curse.com/downloads/details/13510/ )***
Unzip to <WARDIR(where War.exe is)>\Interface\Addons\
This is a simple addon that will play a sound/flash screen when your health gets below a threshold (default = 40%, to change see below). An option is available for replay (see below), replay will continue playing the sound/flash until the health threshold is exceeded. This addon is intended for healers who don't realize they are taking damage because they are healing other people, not paying much attention to themselves, but if I can implement "Upcoming Change #1" below it may be useful for dps and tanks who want to keep an ear on a healer's health in organized RVR. PLEASE Report Bugs to whbook@yahoo.com.
Default Settings
Percent: 40%
Replay: OFF
Flash: OFF
Sound: 215 (duhduh.)
Note on sounds:
215: default
217: another good one
999: Random speech?
101#: a few
Many numbers are no sound(non-consecutive sounds?), which makes it hard to find one, when you do a /ha sound ### it will play a sound that is that number and set it to that. If you choose a sound that is nothing it will not play a sound. I guess if you do that it will turn the sound off (maybe that is what you want)!
Note on Flash:
Can become a bit much if you have flash with replay, but if your computer/eyes can handle it go for it! Flash is defaulted to off.
Slash Commands use /ha or /healthaleart

Known Issues:
YOU WILL LOSE YOUR SETTINGS UPGRADING FROM 1.0/1.1 -> 1.2, although this is minor due to the few customizations.
Settings effected /ha set will be back to 40 and /ha replay will be off.

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".
