(pronounced "see no load")
Suppresses the loading screen you get while you respawn in scenarios.
About
When I'm respawing in a scenario I don't want to see the same information I got while joining, displayed to me over and over again. I want to get back into action asap. So I wrote this little addon to skip the loading screen.
It wont skip neighter the initial loading screen nor the leaving screen/summary.
You can now choose to skip all loading screens (when you respawn in the same zone) or only those in scenarios.
Last changes
re-enabled the close button in the scenario summary window
changed the way the loading screen is hidden
new slash command: /snl oldway
Slash commands
Requires LibSlash.
/snl mode (all/sc) - choose which loading screens to skip (default: sc).
/snl oldway - toggle the method of hiding the loading screen (default: false).
Back when I still had my old Athlon 64 w/ 2gb RAM, the loading screen (while respawning) would take forever to go away. It annoyed the hell out of me. But since I had no chance to test the addon with an old system, I don't know if it improves the performance in any way. Please let me know.
With my new system, a Phenom II X3 w/ 6gb RAM, the loading screen finishes so fast I can't even have a look at the map. So again, it's useless to me and can be skipped :)

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".
