About Mirage
Mirage creates an overlay to which UI elements may be attached, and then hidden/shown at will via key binding. For instance, one could attach the quest tracker, zone control bar, xp, and rp bars to the overlay, and then be able to have them hidden most of the time and only glance at them when you choose to show the overlay. What you choose to attach is completely up to you.
The binding can be customized, as can whether the overlay has a tinted background or not.
Usage
To bring up the Mirage settings window, use /mirage if you have LibSlash or /script Mirage.OpenSettings() if you don't.
- To add a window to the overlay, click "Add", then click the window you want to add.
- To remove a window from the overlay, select it in the list, then click "Remove".
- To change what name is displayed for a given window in the list, click "Rename".
- Click "View" to toggle whether the overlay is visible or not. You can also press whatever key is associated with the Mirage binding.
- Click "Tint" to toggle whether the overlay will tint non-overlay items when it is visible (change will not be noticeable until the overlay is showing).
- Click "Bind:___" to set which hotbar button binding is used to toggle the overlay's visibility. By default, this is hotbar button 118.
Advanced Usage
Users who wish to add/remove windows by name instead of by clicking (if they know the internal window name they wish to add/remove) can use the following commands:
- /script Mirage.AddWindowByName("WindowNameGoesHere")
- /script Mirage.RemoveWindowByName("WindowNameGoesHere")

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.

- 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.

- 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".
