- Zone data fix for Black Fire Pass
- MapMonster was written to be a one-stop shop for all custom map pin functionality.
- For the player, you can view, make, edit, move, delete and share your pins with others, any zone, anywhere. If you left click on a map pin regular MapMonster pins will open the view window, map pins created by external addons will call their own functionality. If you right click on any MapMonster pin it will bring up the context menu for basic pin functions. At the top right corner of the zone map is also a filter button, it has 3 modes, All Pins, Default Pins, MapMonster Pins, for when you've got too much clutter, right clicking on the filter button will open the filters context menu and submenu so you can enable or disable the display for specific MapMonster pin types and sub types individually. To create a new pin simply CTRL+LEFT CLICK the location on the zone map you wish to make a pin and the editor will open and all fields will be editable to let you place a new pin for any zone in any location you want. You can also create a new pin right where your standing with the slash commands /mm or /mapmonster, simply type /mm new to open the editor with your current position already inserted.
- For developer you can call MapMonster global API functions to create your own type of map pin and sub types, all with custom icons, tooltip text, when a player left clicks on one of your map pin the call is sent to your addon and you can enable any kind of functionality like opening the Tome of Knowledge, opening your own addon window, or anything else you want, right click are reserved for the MapMonster context menu.

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".
