Metahud is a replacement set of Unit Frames for the Player, Target, and Career windows. This mod focuses on placing vital character and target info directly beside the character, in a fashion similar to the MetaHud mod from WoW.
Install this mod by creating the following directory in the base WAR directory "/Interface/Addons/".
When you install this mod the default Primary and Secondary Target windows will hide and Metahud's will be used. These bars allow you to click through them to select players that venture behind the bars. At this time, click functionality is disabled, to be introduced at a later date.
When targeting a champion, hero or legendary mob the level text is updated to denote mob's status. See examples below.
Champion Mob - "[55+]"
Hero Mob - "[55]"
Lord Mob - "[55+]"
