NoCombatLog automatically and completely disables the combat log. You will not have anything in the chat window for combat events, at all.
While this seems drastic, due to a current issue with the text log handlers, having the combat log enabled can cause CTD issues for some players. If you're experiencing frequent CTDs (more than 1-2 per play session), you may want to try disabling the combat log, either by using this addon or via running a macro each time you log in for the following:
- /script TextLogSetEnabled("Combat", false)
If you want to force the combat log to be enabled again, use the opposite macro/command:
- /script TextLogSetEnabled("Combat", true)
Hopefully Mythic will hotfix the issue with textlogs soon, so that this measure will no longer be necessary, at which point you can simply delete this addon.
Note to addon developers - this will also disable the UiLog when zoning, to prevent it being left on by accident. If you're wanting to use the UiLog to test something, toggle it back on (you may need to hit the button twice.)
Make sure the UiLog is off too - for most people, it should already be off by default.
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".
