BiTpRO / BreakingNewsOverride

An Azeroth Core module to allow the display of the Breaking News section on the character select screen.

Breaking News Override

This module utilizes the Warden Payload Manager to enable the Breaking News frame on the left side of the character selection screen. You can feed it a html file defined in the config to use it.

Setup

• Create a html file which contains the body for your breaking news frame.
• Set the path to the html file in the config.
• Enable the module and login to verify it works.

Notes

There is a small amount of html tags that are actually compatible, follow this guide here: https://wowwiki-archive.fandom.com/wiki/UIOBJECT_SimpleHTML

You must escape the characters [, ], ', \ in your title and html file because of the way the payload is sent. Example: \'You think this hurts? Just wait.\'
