Emergency Monitor Version 1.4
Description:
This mod constantly keeps your friendly target set to the person
with the lowest health that is in RANGE and LOS of a defined spell. This way
a healer can spam one of their heals and be assured that it will do something
useful.
Use /emhelp to get a full description of commands as well as the current settings.
Right now it will check all players in your party, scenario or warband depending on settings. You can toggle
checking in scenario on and off with
/emtogglescenariochecking
and warband checking with
/emtogglewarbandchecking
Note: To change the minimum time between health, range and los checks, use the
command
/emsetminUpdateFrequency 2.0
for example to change it from the default of every half second to every 2 seconds.
Note: MUST INSTALL THE LIBSLASH MOD TO USE EMonitor
Type /emhelp to get a list of commands
Setup:
Step 1) To start, set the ability it will use to check the range and validity of
targets with
/emsetfriendlyability(spellname)
where spellname is one of your ranged heals, for example "Soul Essence" for DoK.
Step 2) Now set up a macro using the command
/script EMonitor_Toggle()
Step 3) Hotkey this macro to a easy to use button.
Step 4) Now set up a macro to use the script command
/script EMonitor_Target_Lowest
Now you should be fully set up. Instantly you should see your friendly target changing
depending on if the people in your party are getting hurt. When you want to heal or buff
yourself (that is, if you arent the lowest health already), just hit your hotkey bound
to the macro in Steps 2 and 3 and it will toggle off EMonitor and select yourself.
Then hit the macro again to start it up.
Another way to use it, is to have the mod toggled off all the time, and use
/script EMonitor_Target_Lowest()
in a macro to find a person to heal when you want to heal someone.
Caveats:
This is a brainless heal mod for those that do not want to deal with the crappy
heal UI that warhammer provided. Even though it checks range and los that does not
mean that the lowest health person will always be the best target, they just happen
to be the lowest. In many situations it might be better to heal someone that isnt
quite as low. However, for those that would rather pay attention to other things,
this is the mod for you!
As for some that say this mod does too much, well, too bad. If you dont like it, dont use it. Until they add a self-cast bind and a way
to click-to-cast and make healing fun, I hope people find this mod useful.
EXTRA: Some users are experiencing problems with the IsTargetValid function that is used to check range and los. Try and put this ability on your main hotbar(bar 1) and have that bar visible, which seemed to help some people. It is also possible that the IsTargetValid check was changed by the developers. Testing is being done and hopefully we will find a workaround.
Future Plans:
1) Add pet support
2) Add a GUI configuration

- Removed chat spam during warband checking, oops
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!

- 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.

- 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.

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".
