A reimplementation of the /rpfilter command from DAOC for war.
Lets you replace those irritating phrases that people utter such as "m8" and "lol" with a more roleplay-friendly version.
I.e. if someone runs up to you and says "lol m8 gifv gold pls" you can have it translated into "most amusing good friend spare some gold please" which while not wonderful is better than the original ;)
NB: This will only affect your chat window, noone else's - it doesn't affect what you're saying to the world, just what you see.
You can also replace any phrase you find offensive/irritating (e.g. "heal plz") with something amusing like "I am an idiot".
Instructions:
Download and install the mod (as well as LibSlash).
Create a new chat tab (Right click on "Chat" select "Tab Options" and then "New Tab"). Once it's created right click your new tab and select "Tab Options" and "Rename Tab". Call it "Roleplay".
Now add in phrases and translations by using /rpfilter.
e.g. /rpfilter m8=friend
/rpfilter lol=most amusing
/rpfilter heal pls=I am an idiot
Your new Roleplay tab will show the same channels as your normal Chat tab but with all your substitutions applied.
(and you can always check the original message on the Chat tab)
Comments and suggestions welcome.
Todo
- Allow you to set a random list of things to say for a given phrase - e.g. map lol to "most amusing" "*chortles*" and "very funny" and have it pick one at random.
- Some sort of windowed interface for adding/removing the filters.
- Make it auto-create the Roleplay tab if it's not there already (preferably without crashing the game and doing weird stuff like it did last time I tried :p)

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".
