About Arena Calculator (continued)

Arena Calculator (continued) - Updated by Exuro - Magtheridon US

All credit from this project goes to Toppe, the original author. I just really love this addon and wanted to see it stay updated.

Features:

Show how many arena points you will earn for each of your teams.
Show how many arena points you will have in total after the next update.
Enter a desired arena rating to see how many arena points you would get with such rating. Available in the ACalc frame.
Enter a desired amount of arena points to see how high rating you would need to obtain that. Available in the ACalc frame.
Optional recoloring in the PVP frame.
Display personal arena rating in the PVP frame.
Note: Recoloring will give a slight green color to the team you will gain points from, or if you won't gain any points from any team it will give the total arena points a red color.

Use:

/ac or clicking the AC arrow in the honor tab opens the Arena Calculator. From there type in the desired rating or points and hit enter.
The options frame is accessible from a button in the Arena Calculator frame.
You can do everything manually by using the commands /acalc, /arenacalc, or /arenacalculator.

Comments and ideas are welcome!

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.

The file is not broken. It is just that you are used to opening a .zip file instead of a .rar file. .rar files take different software to open. I will try to remember make the file uploads in the .zip format from now on.

If you look on this page just above the description about this addon, you will see three tabs: Description, Changes, and Install Guide. If you click on the Install Guide tab and read what it says, I think you will find that the detailed instructions are more then what you need.

No, because when i click on the file to open it it says "Windows cannot open that file" and asks me to select from a list. The file itself is no more then a white icon with a windows menu in it. There are no files to open =/

The Download is broken i'm sure. I only get a single .rar file that you cannot open. I'm really looking forward to downloading this.

There's no error.

You see, .rar is a type of compressed file. You know how you use winzip to open .zip files? Well, here you have to use winrar to open the .rar file.
