About Squared
Squared is a highly-customizable unit frame addon similar to the widely-known WoW addon "Grid". It provides a very compact view of health for you, your group, your warband, or your scenario. Clicking on a square will target the associated player.
Important note for WAR 1.3
If you are having issues with squares not fading for "OUT OF RANGE" targets, please see this thread: http://tinyurl.com/squared1-3
Notes about recent patches
Added in 3.7: Tooltips for units in group/warband mode. Hold down the shift key while mousing over a unit to view its tooltip.
3.6 features a fairly significant optimization for WAR 1.2. I highly recommend upgrading to it for decreased lag when in large groups.
Added in 3.5: Easy exporting and importing of settings. The panel to do so is in the GUI.
Added in 3.4: Toggle/settings button. By default, it's located on the left side of the minimap, but you can move it wherever you wish from the Layout Editor. Left-clicking the toggle button will show/hide Squared (same as changing the "completely disable Squared" setting), while right-click will show/hide the Squared Configurator.
Added in 3.3: Settings profiles. Profiles allow you to keep different sets of settings and swap among them at will. In addition, each character will remember which profile they were using last, and automatically load that profile when logging in to the character.
(For more details all on Squared versions, see the change log.)
Settings
To open the configuration GUI, type /sqr (or /squared).
For command-line config, see the settings page for configuration options (as well as color settings).
If you want to use the settings for one of the user-submitted examples, find the specific one you want in the Squared Image Gallery and click on its name to go to the description page, which will have a Squared Import Format block that you can plug into Squared's Import Settings window.
Reporting bugs and requesting features
While I monitor many difference places, including Curse/CurseForge comments, various forums, and email, I give the highest priority to bugs and feature requests which are posted on the Squared Ticket Tracker on Lighthouse.
For click-casting, see SquaredHealBot.
For hiding the default warband frames, I suggest Phantom.
Addon developers interested in developing plugins for Squared should look at the Squared plugin API page.
Miscellaneous
I wasn't going to put up a donation link at first, but enough people have asked/prodded me about it that I figured I might as well. Please, don't feel pressured to donate, I enjoy writing addons just for the sake of helping out, but if you really want to, there's a Pledgie campaign here.

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".
