Want to squeeze every last bit out of your Renown gain? RenownTactics helps you fully utilize the Renown Increasing RvR (Red) Tactics bought from the Renown Trainer by automatically switching tactics based on what area you're in: Scenario, Objective, Skirmish (anywhere else while RvR flagged), City Seiege, and non-RvR. This corresponds to all five tactic sets available, and will use 1,2,3,4,5 in that order. To change this order, read the included Readme file. These settings are saved across sessions.
This is an automatic, passive addon. If you are in combat, it will wait until you are out of combat to automatically switch.
Please note at current, the tactics designed to be used with this addon only increase the Renown gained from player deaths, not all Renown gained in an area. This will probably change sometime in the future, and anyway, what are you going to use that 2nd RvR Tactic Slot for?
This addon should work with all locales, except for this description of what it does and how to use it which is currently only in English.
New in 2.0a: Zip was incorrectly packaged due to cross-site problems. This has been fixed.
New in 2.0:
As of RenownTactics 2.0, your settings are now saved across sessions.
RenownTactics uses no slash commands, so the generic /script must be used. Here are the functions you can call:
-- Disable the addon (soft disable).
/script RenownTactics.Disable()
-- Re-enable the addon (after use of above)
/script RenownTactics.Enable()
-- Change current tactics set to given tactics set number.
-- This will wait until you can safely change tactics sets.
-- Useful in macros.
/script RenownTactics.ChangeTactics(number)
-- Swap one tactics set with another. EXPERIMENTAL.
/script RenownTactics.SwapTacticsSets(number, number)

New in 1.1: Added the ability to switch between different tactic sets if you join a group or are already in a group vs if you are solo (not in a group). Warband counts as grouped. Scenario does not.

New in 2.0: As of RenownTactics 2.0, your settings are now saved across sessions. RenownTactics uses no slash commands, so the generic /script must be used. Lots of new functions are now available for use with /script for macros.
New in 1.1: Added the ability to switch between different tactic sets if you join a group or are already in a group vs if you are solo (not in a group). This defaults to being disabled completely and must be changed manually by editing the top of the RenownTactics.lua file. Warband counts as grouped. Scenario does not.
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".
