NAMBLA (which is dedicated to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) modifies the appearance of the default action bars (and pet/stance/granted-ability bars) to make them a bit cleaner. Here's a summary of what it changes:
- Hides the borders on all of the individual buttons.
- Removes the career resource-based "glow" on buttons (AM high magic, Shaman mork/gork, Swordmaster balance, etc).
- Makes the "white-out" effect of buttons on cooldown half as strong, so it's not quite as opaque.
- Removes the pointless "s" on the end of button cooldown text.
- Resizes the cooldown text on buttons to be a bit larger (for readability) and modifies the font slightly.
- Modifies the binding font slightly.
Note that NAMBLA does not have any in-game configuration, but any or all of the above can be disabled by editing the Lua file; instructions on how to disable them are in NAMBLA.lua inside the addon's directory. By editing the file, you can also hide keybind text if you so desire (again, directions are in the file).
- Note - if you're wondering about the name of this addon, click the link in the first sentence of the description. It's parody.

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".
