This addon creates five new chat channels, which provide a simplified formatting of combat information.
Damage dealt.
Damage taken.
Healing performed.
Healing received.
Pet Damage.
The messages default to the form:
[source] [ability] [amount] [target]
Each channel is distinguished by a separate color, and the standard chat interface may be used to choose a different color.
By default, these channels are not enabled on any chat tab. Use the Filters menu on the chat tab of your choice to enable the channels.
Channel Customization
The channels are:
- damagedealt
damagetaken
healdone
healreceived
petdamage
In the format string, 4 variables may be specified. The variables are $ability, $crit, $amount, $object, $mitigated, $absorbed. Each of these are replaced by the appropriate value before being displayed.
- $ability refers to the ability or spell being used.
$crit will either be the string "CRIT", or empty.
$amount will be the damage or healing amount.
$object will be either the source or the target, depending on the channel.
$mitigated is the amount mitigated (will be zero for heals).
$absorbed is the amount absorbed (will be zero for heals).
Example:
/tscc damagedealt *** [$ability] $crit $amount [$object]
This would produce output like the following:
*** [Surging Violet Fire] 382 [Blue Speckled Crow]
To reset a channel's format to the default, use "default" (without the quotes) as the format.

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".
