Quick little addon to try and help players who happen to be color blind, include a large window for the world map and smaller window for the mini map that can be tinted various colors and to any alpha value to try and help the contrast between colors.
Include new overhead arrows with letters for friendly, non aggressive/neutral and enemy targets, F N and E, also tintable to any color and alpha for easier identification. The standard UI option "Arrow Over Target" can be turned off. Also has the ability to change the color of different Item Rarity types.
All options are changed by the using slash commands, see below for full list

Caution
- Because RCG now substitutes custom colors for the standard EA colors from the TargetInfo function any other addon that counts on those colors for any purposes other then simply display may not function properly with RCG
- Because RCG now modifies the default colors for Item Rarity any other addon that references those colors directly will also be subject to the color change even if the color is not used for item rarity designations

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".
