VinylUI v.20241129_1A update: Added "AnywhereTrainer" addon to fix Warboard.
VinylUI v.20241129_1B update: Fixed hotbar issues.
VinylUI v.20241129_1C update: Put the normal default version of MoosieMods in all profiles in /user/settings/Martyrs Square dir instead of zeal one.
VinylUI v.20241129_1D update: Added wikkiscooldownpulse addon.
VinylUI v.20241129_1E update: Added RVMods addon.
VinylUI v.20241130_1F update: In /user/settings/Martyrs Square dir, other templates were removed to just 1 default template to reduce redundancy. The reason is that I observed that some older templates (DestrHeal) were bad i.e. wouldn't display fourth action bar, the first 2x action bars were in blocks instead of bars, and the third action bar was corrupted (randomly disappear when clicking on it) so a fresh template was added and tested to help prevent this. "warboard_TogglerwWlh" and ""WarBoard_Menu" modules added to /Interface/AddOns/Warboard. "warboard_TogglerwWlh" module adds an icon for wbLeadHelper to the Warboard bar so you dont have to make a separate macro for it to activate it. "warBoard_Menu" fixes the Menu Bar so it displays on the WarBoard bar properly.
VinylUI v.20241130_1G update: /user/settings/Martyrs Square/template_character_name_VinyUIOrderTank is renamed to /user/settings/Martyrs Square/template_character_name/VinyUI/
VinylUI v.20241130_1H update: CharacterSettings.xml in /user/settings/Martyrs Square/template_character_name has been updated for the previous update folder name change.
VinylUI v.20241130_1I update: Fresh Aggrometer addon re-installed and its addon cache deleted in /user/settings/Martyrs Square/template_character_name_VinyUI to help resolve issue of it not displaying.
VinylUI v.20241130_1J update: Removed old teather addon in /Interface/AddOns dir and /user/settings/Martyrs Square/template_character_name_VinyUI dir since the included Guardpack is the updated replacement for it.
VinylUI v.20241130_1K update: Removed QueueQueuer addon in /Interface/AddOns dir and /user/settings/MartyrsSquare/template_character_name/VinyUI dir, which was preventing scenarios from being qued solo if someone in your group was already in one.
VinylUI v.20241214_L update: Added OverheadFonts and PetAssist.

Navigate to your game installation folder. Usually it's something like:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning

Backup your Interface and user folders. Use these to restore your settings and addon setup if something goes wrong or you don't like the UI.


In your game folder delete Interface, user and cache folders.


Extract VinyUI20241214_1L.zip in to the game folder (it contains new 2x folders (1x Interface & 1x user). Make sure those are in the game folder before continuing.


[ IMPORTANT ] Navigate to:
Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning/user/settings/Martyrs Square
Pick the default template folder, copy and paste it within the same folder and then rename it to what your respective character is called.
For example, if my zealot is called Vermont I make a copy of template_character_name and rename it to Vermont.
Note that character names always start with a capital letter.


Once you log on to a character for the first time after installing the UI pack you might have to run a /reload command for all settings to load properly.

Disable the following 4x addons ingame since the default Menu Bar and default Influence Bar are better:

WarBoard_GP
WarBoard_GuildF
WarBoard_Inf

Update: 12/8/2024

Finish customizing UI to your preferences.


For example, just after a simple, several minutes of customizing it:

definitely would not recommend the use of vinyui. it is extremely outdated and cluttered with useless/out of date addons and a very basic Enemy setup compared to what is available now.

better to use another prepack like Fiskui and customize it how you want to (the best publicly available one imo, insanely powerful enemy profile and fully up to date addons w/ custom scripts) or another newer prepack.

Tried googling for Fiskui but couldn't find anything, curious to try it, got any links for it?

Also I tried Process Lasso and the 4gb patcher, I'm still seeing tons of lag spikes, and alot less FPS, think I lost a good 50fps limiting it to 4 cores, I have a i7 12700k which I think is 16 cores, followed instructions to the tee, I'm guessing it just works better for others?

IS it on Ecore or Pcore you choose to use the 4 cores?( Pcore goes over 4.1ghz where Ecore don't).
4 core on 2-4-6-8 on a 5900x is fine( only Real core, no hyperthread core), try not to use core 0 as windows use it a lot for everything ( like Windows Defender).

Where can i get 4gb patcher, i reinstall recently and cant find it now. Can you share the link?

Game uses only one core of CPU anyways, main issue for FPS are addons, kudos to Troma he tracked the biggest ones (guardpack was one of them) and they have been remade to increase FPS so if you grab the latest addons then you should be fine.

As for others, on average game sometimes freaks out due to many various reasons, 4gb patcher did smooth the issue alot at least for me.

Ah gotcha, I think I have everything up to date, I could try running the addon updater tool tho, here's the 4gb patch link, seen earlier in this guide was too patch both the war.exes https://ntcore.com/4gb-patch/

[xpander]

both RoR executables are already patched with PAE/4GB addressing space support on 32bit to my knowledge.
The game uses 2 cores at most. 1 for rendering thread and otherone for all the rest. At least under linux with DXVK.

hey i installed the ui.
but now my abilities wont light up whenever i get a proc

[Grimmrog]

Does NISP still work? I can't make it work. I unpacked it into the addon folder, but when I am ingame there it seems not to work. also the "/nisp on" command is not recognised.

Also how and where can I see all the addons I have? Is looking into the folder the only way? Or is there some ingame menu I just didn't found?
