Update 2.0.0
I apologize for the large delay in my release of this update.
The entire code base was rewritten to provide a more clean and optimized addon with a very small performance impact even in high action.
This update allows for a more customizable setup so be sure to check out the configuration to make it just the way you like it.
Summary
- More fluid and natural combat log.
- Displays the combat log in a visual and clear way.
- Helps get the information to you fast.
- Set display up just how you want it.
- Make any events that interest you stand out from the rest.
- Mouse over tooltip shows actual combat log entry for quick reference.
Commands/Setup
To bring up the config menu use either the command /NaturalLog or /ln.
- With different playstyles, resolutions, and UI scales users should spend some time adjusting the defaults to be more fine tuned for your own setup.
- If your settings make things odd (huge icons or not enough room for text)
- Adjust the size of the bar and the number of events shown.
- Try working off a default setup and slowly tweaking that.
Dependencies
- Libslash is not required.
- If you choose to not use libslash, the following command brings up the config menu
- This will work if the combat log is disabled
- Only impact of having no combat log is the lack of mouseover tooltips for combat events, everything else will work.
Thanks go to Aiiane for libGUI and Greyhoof for wsct event handling
If you see abilities for players coming up without icons, check your debug. If you are getting a missing texture message from natural log, you can fix it. See this image for details. (NPC abilities will almost never have a real icon associated with them)
Hopefuly fixed bugs from 1.0.1 -> 2.0.0.
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".
