About Victory Points

Victory Points Default

The Victory Points addon shows a numerical representation of victory points.

I have also made a WaaghBar plugin version of this available here.

The code to extract the numbers comes from neuf from here.

Currently, 100 points means you flip the zone, 150 points means the zone is locked.

The core numbers from neuf's method are the percentages of the bar for each realm. I have crudely determined that a realm needs 2/3 of the bar to flip the zone. I did this through examining screenshots along with the values at those times. So I've adjusted the percentages so that 100 points on my plugin means you flip the zone.

If a zone is locked it will say the zone is locked. If a realm has over 100 points, the background will change to that realms color.

I have yet to test this during an actual flipping of a zone, but hopefully someone can give me some feedback.

Please note that VPs do not immediately update. If you take a BFO or Keep and don't see the points change, it's not because of my plugin, it's because they haven't updated on your bar yet. They usually do within a few minutes.

I hope you enjoy the addon, and it makes it easier to tell if you're actually earning VPs.

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".

Same problem as Xanthian. Is it wide screen related? At every new zone the destro number moves to the left ontop of the order number. It also touches the order blue icon. It doesn't matter if I lock the window or not. To fix it moving to the right in layout editor doesn't work. When moving to the left the destro number stays at the same position till I move the window enough left and it arrives at its proper position. Then I have to return it to where to placed it which is bottom right corner half over the the bar decoration.

This addon calculates the VPs incorrectly. The forumla used here is:
local orderVP = round( ThreePartBar.GetLeftSidePercent (EA_Window_ZoneControl.ZoneControlData.barID) * 100 / .667, 0 )
local destrVP = round( ThreePartBar.GetRightSidePercent(EA_Window_ZoneControl.ZoneControlData.barID) * 100 / .667, 0 )

While it should be:
local orderVP = round( ThreePartBar.GetLeftSidePercent (EA_Window_ZoneControl.ZoneControlData.barID) * 154.56, 0 )
local destrVP = round( ThreePartBar.GetRightSidePercent(EA_Window_ZoneControl.ZoneControlData.barID) * 154.56, 0 )

(wish i could edit a post :\ ) also, the waaghbar mod seems to show -1 of everyone elses mods.. being that when you are in a locked zone, its 149 instead of 150, ooor if people are shouting "95 VP, SO CLOSE!" the mod on my waaghbar shows 94.

couple of ideas / requests...

can you make an option to remove the "victory points" text... not really necessary...

also can you make it to where theres no greyed square around the points? you can take down opacity but it drops the colors/numbers opacity also...

Could you also make a plugin for snt bar ?

SNT bar has one as default.

There seems to be a slight difference in numbers between this one and the WAAAGH bar one. Me and another person with waagh bar showed 87 but with this stand alone one, it'd show 88.

This seems to re-occur also.

Differences in rounding, pretty much - the actual victory point numbers are on a slightly different scale (in which 65 would cap a zone) - but to make it easier to read, both mods rescale the numbers so that 100 is the point at which a zone is captured. It's just a slight difference in the formula they use to rescale it, and how it rounds fractions.

I have been present for 3 zone flips after installing the addon, and as commented earlier, it appears as though the zones flip at 97, not 100.

Nice addon, although every time I log in it displays wierd and moving it fixes it.

Also would it be possible to make it dissapear when in scenarios?

Any way to lock it? Locking through the Layout Editor doesn't work.

We flipped zones and fortesses last nite and I can say the mod works very well and is really accurate for zones. City VP's are a bit off but not do to the mod. City vp's work a bit different which we found out this mod is extremely accurate for normal zones. Great work.

97 appears to be the magic number.

Sorry, not a Qustion about this Addon.

Can you tell me, what is that "Tier Control Map" in bottom-right corner of your ScreenShot?

If you go into the map, and zoom out to where you can see the tracker in the bottom right corner, theres a checkbox you can click to have that stay on your UI.
