For some reason or other, the WAR client will occasionally go crazy and start spamming "influence updated" events rapidly (and for no real purpose) after loading a zone. This triggers all of the windows tracking influence to update themselves, which can sometimes lead to interface lag. InfThrottle combats this by putting a cutoff on how often influence is allowed to update, and automatically filtering out the massive event-chains sometimes triggered.
By default, it will look for influence spam occurring more than once per second. If you wish to change this, use the following command:
- /script InfUpdateCutoff = 1.0
Change 1.0 to the cutoff value you desire. However, it should work fine out of the box, and 1 second is the recommended value to catch the large majority of "spam chains" while allowing regular influence updates to be processed normally.

Initial commit. Filters out buggy spam "event-chains" for influence
updates while allowing regular updates to pass properly.

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".
