Tired of the cluttered interface in the LayoutManager? Cannot see your frames because of all mostley hidden the frames? Fear not, Lemmie is here!
Lemmie is a manager for the built-in WAR LayoutEditor. It enables you to select frames which should not be shown in the layout editor. This is especially very useful for users who have multiple addons installed which make use of the layout editor by cleaning up the cluttered window by e.g. having their hidden windows not drawn.
To start the configuration, just type "/lemmie". A window with the registered frames will be shown. From the list you can now select frames, which should not be displayed in the layout editor (select the frame and click the "Unregister" button). To make the visible again, just select them again and click the "Register" button. A short-cut for this is to click the line with the right mouse button. You can sort the list by clicking on the labels.
"Unregister" of frames has no influence if they will be drawn in the main window or not. It just applies to the LayoutEditor. Meaning you can "unregister" frames which clutter your Layout-Editor interface but still should be drawn in the main-window (e.g. if you do not want to move them around in the Editor anyway).
A known problem is, that the "Hidden" state of the window is not remembered over reboots. Meaning, if you unregister a frame, log-out and back in, then register the frame again, the "hidden" flag might not be applied and you have to manually do this yourself. I am thinking about a way to fix this problem.
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".
