TortallAddonChat is an addon to allow other addons to communicate. It maintains chat channels for the current group and for the player's guild, if any. Addons may send messages to either channel and TortallAddonChat will receive these messages and pass them on to the intended addon.
The goal is to provide a single mechanism for addons to share information with their counterparts used by other players.
Please Note!
TortallAddonChat joins two channels (if guilded, else one), usually numbered 3 and 4. At this time, the filters are not turned off automatically. To avoid spam from these channels, turn off these channels using the Filters menu option on the Chat window.
New in 1.1.0 TAC will now disable the filter for any channel it joins. The previous note only applies to older versions.
New in 1.1.1 Tweaked message sending, with the hope that it will perform better on slower machines.
No longer accept messages from self (broke in 1.3.0).
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".
