Allows solo setting your own personal Main Assist, but also allows group leaders to sync the Main Assist with the whole group (if enabled).
Has a UI, sticky targeting aka auto assisting, slash commands, allows Main and Secondary Assists, has group notification when the Main and Secondary Assist changes targets.
Notification however depends on the MA/SA having this mod installed as well.
Notes about the UI:
- A small skull is attached to the minimap for toggling the UI.
- Where the MA and SA's name displays is also a button. Left-clicking on the button will assist the person listed. Right-clicking will bring up a context menu of people you can change the MA or SA to (group members and current target only will show up)
- The plus button's allow you to type in the name of the person you want to set to MA or SA.
- The group check box enables all group functionality.
- The sticky check box enables auto updating your target to the Main Assist's.
- UI window is lockable.
For Slash Commands: /ma help
Bind key to Assist Main:
/script MainAssist.Command("")
or
/script MainAssist.Command("ma")
Bind key to Assist Secondary:
/script MainAssist.Command("sa")
Requires Libslash.
Future:
Ability to resize UI and change opacity.
Optional floating icons above Main/Second Target and group members (possibly a unique one for the assists).
New look and minimap button for toggling the UI. Also added in right-clicking on MA's button on the UI will bring up a list of all group members and current player target to set as MA or SA.
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".
