SmartAlert - Supress annoying Popups
Smart Alert is a little but helpfull combat addon.
This addon will remove several message types from your AlertWindow and moved to your chat window. You can configure what alert should be filtered and setup the chat channel for your messages.
All other messages like quest triggers and important events are still displayed.
Don't know what an AlertWindow is? This is the place where the big messages like error message, quest triggers and events pop up.
No more "ability not ready", "invalid target" spam!
This addon is for those players that are sick of dozens of annoying popups. Did you ever hunt an enemy player that just had enough range that you can't hit him or did you ever spam your heal button for your teammate while running after him? Remember the spam of error messages you've got? So you know what SmartAlert is good for.
See the screenshots for an example.

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".
