WarBoard is a highly customizable, bar type addon which you can add other mods to. You can have either a top or bottom bar or both. Included in this package are a money window, experience point window, renown window, guild window, and an influence window. There is a button on each end of the bar which is hidden until you mouse over it. One starts Layout Mode and one opens the Options Window. You can disable these buttons in WarBoard Options and use /warboard to open the options window (Libslash can be optionally installed!).
Layout Editing Mode
The left button initiates WarBoard's Layout Editing mode. If you have disabled the corner buttons, there is a button in the options window to toggle layout mode. In this mode clicking an arrow moves the mod in that direction. If you have more than one row, right clicking will bring up a context menu with options to move the mod up or down. If you have both top and bottom boards enabled, this context menu includes the option to move the mod to the other board.
Options Window
The right button opens the WarBoard Options window. Here you can change the color and transparency of WarBoard's background and the background of the mods. You can also change the spacing between mods and rows, change the alignment from center to left or right for each row, and toggle WarBoard's layout mode. You may also enable and disable top and bottom boards. New mods will be added to the board that is set as default.

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".
