About PiInTheEye for WoW

PiInTheEye (pronounced pie-in-the-eye) is a basic application that acts as an ergonomic timer going off every five minutes, telling the user to move their eyes, take a drink or go for a walk each specific period. Aims to reduce headaches and lack of concentration, and increase productivity.

Tell the user to...

   * Blink and move their eyes around every five minutes
   * Take a drink of water every ten minutes
   * Go for a brief walk every fifteen minutes

You will be notified that you need to do one of these things by a "Ding" sound. To stop the alarm going off, you will need to click "Stop Alarm".Make sure you take note of what you are supposed to do before you do.

Make sure to tell anyone you are talking to or that you are grouped with that you are going AFK if you are going for a brief walk!

To active the mod's audio alerts (recommended) you will need to click "Enable Sound" each time you log into WoW. This is disabled by default, because the alerts get irritating if you are not using PiInTheEye for that session

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" 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 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
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- 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 World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

You should add some alerts to prevent users from messing up their shoulders, like lifting the hands into the air or something.

I know I'm going to use the move your eyes one and I will use to other ones too.

However when I am grouped with people and so on I can still move my eyes. I think the thing i was thinking about is " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repetitive_strain_injury " in english ("musarm" in swedish). Also what would be really awesome would be if you added a sync through the hidden group channel so that members of the same group got the sync simultaneously. Might want to check the unit_regen_disabled or whatever it's called for combat status of the groupmembers first though..

Anyway... the concept is like... awesome! Someone should have thought of this earlier however, they didn't, you did. What I'm trying to say is that it's one of those "instant-fav" addons that I wont be able to play without once i get used to it.
