Thresholds
HMB supports coloring the bar differently depending on how high the mechanic value is.
On Sorceresses and Bright Wizards they're set to 11, 31, 71, 91
Between 0 and 10 the bar will be colored in the color of Threshold index 1 (can be set with /HMB THC), by default that is green
Between 11 and 30 its index 2. By default thats yellow
etc
For Swordmasters and Black Orcs the Thresholds are 1 and 2.
That means for Mechanic value 0 (Normal Balance/No Plan) it's index 1, for 1 (Improved Balance/Da gud Plan) its the color of index 2, and for mechanic value 2 (Perfect Balance/Da Best Plan).
You can add your own thresholds if you like or change these one.
Entering /HMB TH without any values will clear any set thresholds and use the foreword color for each of them.
Other AddOns

DMCD is a countdown for Sorceresses and Bright Wizards and shows the remaining time till their Dark Magic/Combustion starts to decay and it can be linked to HMB
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".
