WhinyCooldown provides a set of timer bars to visually track the cooldowns of your skills. Any skill that goes on cooldown (other than the GCD, of course) has its icon displayed alongside a colored timer bar. The colors for the timer bar can be customized by the user.
Version 1.0 is fully functional, although I would like to clean up the code and window a bit, and add some extra features as well. Please give it a try and leave some feedback!
Planned future features:
- Ability to filter out certain cooldowns so that they're not displayed
- Ability to adjust icon size (I honestly haven't tried to see what happens if you scale via the layout editor)
This addon requires Aiiane's LibSlash!
The bar xml and some of the ability tracking code was heavily inspired by the code of WhinySpellTimer, hence the name tribute. Many thanks to author smcn for his hard work putting that addon together, and for giving me the go-ahead for using some of his work as a basis for mine.
Configuration:
/wcd add [skill name] [r] [g] [b]: Adds a color entry for the named skill, with rgb values as provided.
/wcd remove [skill name]: Deletes the color entry of the skill and returns it to default coloring.
/wcd list: Displays the list of skill color entries.
11/10/08 v1.0: First release.
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".
