About WarWhisperer
WarWhisperer is a MSN,ICQ, JABBER like Chatclient for Warhammer Online.
It's like WIM for World of Warcraft, in fact i used WIM a lot and i try to get WarWhisperer as good as WIM.
Current Version is: 0.15
Functions
WarWhisperer opens itself automatically after you send or receive a whisper.
If you use the default Chatreply key or use the contextmenu to start a whisper it also opens the Gui.
You also can send item and ability links.
Slash Commands
/ww - Opens the WarWhisperer
/ww <user> - Opens the WarWhisperer and opens a Tab to <user>
/ww <user> <msg> - Opens the WarWhisperer and opens a Tab to <user> with <msg> prefilled in the textfield ready to send
/wwconf - Opens the WarWhisperer Configurations Window
Tips and Tricks
- You need libSlash installed
- Use the left mouse key to switch tabs
- Use the right mouse to close a tab.
- To Resize or Scale the Window use the Layouteditor
- There is a history, you can purge the history by clicking on the careericon in the gui
- If you try to send an itemlink make sure you don't have the default chat entrybox open
- You can change the Output filter by right clicking on the textentry box.
Toggle Window via Key
To toggle the mainwindow with a key you could create a new macro with this content:
/script warwhisperer.Toggle()
then move your new macro icon to your actionbar and add a new keybinding.
Special Tabs
There are several special Tabs, this tabs must be enabled in the configuration.
You could open this tabs like normal whisper tabs and reopen them via the "+" Button in the Gui if you closed one.
Glitches
- if you have too many tabs open and you get a new message in a tab you can't see the new message info
- There was a CTD bug, with WAR 1.2, I fixed it in 0.9 but if you still have CTD's take a look at the Chathistory CTD bug page
Planed for the future
- add a option to modify the special tabs (currently only possible by modding ww_default_specialchannels.lua)

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".
