Warband Admin helps WB leaders organize and communicate with their warband members, guildmates, allies, RvR zone, and other warbands leaders. WB leaders and assistants (set through WBAdmin) can utilize the announcements and those with the mod can have a message pop up on their screen in big white text.
It also helps the leader out by allowing a player to whisper the leader with a password which will auto-invite the person. Credit for some of the code for auto-invite, broadcast, and timers goes to mltdwn. I have added this feature as his addon, WarBand Manager, no longer works with the current patch.
ADDON REQUIRES LIBSLASH TO WORK!
Limitation: Since there's no way to check for Warband leader or assistant atm, the group leaders of every group in the warband are able to send announcements.
Features:
- Large popup text announcements ala CTRaidAssist to anyone with mod in warband.
- Assign assist within the mod to allow others to put up announcements
- Auto-invite feature with password
- Announcements can be configured to send to any or all /wb, /2, /say, /w, and /a chat channels simultaneously.

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.

- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder

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".
