This is not an addon to be used by the game! You'll download a file called RealmWar.gadget which can be installed by doubleclicking on it while running Windows Vista or Windows 7. Windows XP as well as MacOS are not supported!
The file is a simple ZIP archive with a renamed file extension to be recognized by the system, so if you're curious about its contents, just rename it and have a look inside (just some HTML, XML, Javascript and images).
Usage should be quite self explanatory. Once the gadget is installed, one copy should be added to your sidebar. If this doesn't happen or you'd like to run multiple copies, use the default dialog window to add more gadgets. The settings window allows you to pick the server to monitor - either US or EU ones right now.
The campaign status is updated once every 10 minutes using the realmwar pages provided by both, Mythic Entertainment and GOA. If you haven't got a flatrate this might keep your internet connection from disconnecting (like any other news feed app), so please keep this in mind.
Your server isn't listed? Just tell me and I'll add it in the next release.
If you encounter any issues or got suggestions, feel free to use the comments field below or (if you'd like to keep track) use the ticket tracker.
Missing text in your language or found an error? Head to the localization page.
This is a beta release still missing some features and error handling. So try it, but don't be disappointed if it stops working at some point (which shouldn't happen unless the web servers providing the realmwar pages are down).
Don't open this file from your browser. Download it to your hard disk first and then double click it to install/update. Otherwise its possible that you don't overwrite older versions and end up with several copies installed!
- Fixed settings window dimensions on Windows 7 (should show the orientation checkbox now)
- New "refresh now" button inside the gadget
- Added localization: ES, FR, IT, RU
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".
