Description
WeaponRebuff is a small, light-weight mod that makes buffing weapons (and keeping them buffed) simple and easy. Rebuffing a weapon is a mouse-click away and with warnings for timed buffs, charge-based buffs, and low-item-count for buff items (e.g. poisons, sharpening stones, fishing lures, etc) you'll never be caught unintentionally unbuffed again.
How to Use
* left mouse-click rebuffs your weapon with the last known charge/spell
* right click opens a buff selector of available buffs and charges for your weapons
o left-click the buff for Main Hand application; right-click for Off Hand application
Supports
* rogue poisons
* sharpening and weight stones
* spell-based weapon buffs for shamans/druids
* wizard & mana oils
* fishing lures
* and user defined spells and items
Features
* Rebuff Buttons and Data Display
o show/hide buff text (for the minimalists)
o vertical or side-by-side icon display
o hide/show off-hand
o strata control (move it above or behind those pesky windows)
o dual-buffing for spell-based buffs: since these type spells cast only on the main hand, buffs can be "applied" to the off-hand shield allowing both buffs to be available
* Buff Selector
o text or icon selector buttons (w/ re-sizable fonts)
o different combat / non-combat selector configurations
o a range of buff selector layouts to help fit into any UI layout
o option to auto-show buff selector menu when combat starts
+ for when you may want to change the buff you're using mid-combat in a raid
+ or during that pesky PvP 5-sec combat cooldown
+ or perhaps you've added other items/spells to the Buff Selector (see User Configurability)
* Alerts and Warnings
o sound options and text options for when your buffs are fading
o sound options and text options for when your buffs have faded
o text warning options when you are running out of buffing-items (poisons, etc)
o option to set the warning threshold from 1 to 60seconds
o automatic alert suppression for WindFury
* Buff Information Colors
o Blue: Active Buff
o Yellow: Buff in last 60 secons
o Red: Unbuffed
o Green: Windfury (Windfury is a max of 9 seconds pulsing buff which shouldn't be consideed "about to drop" as this can be more than a bit confusing)
* Alert Sound Options
o sounds from in-game
o sounds registered via SharedMediaLib from other mods
o your custom sounds: replace the two included .wav files
+ as a bonus, since these files are registered with SharedMediaLib, you can use them in other mods using SharedMedia
User Configurability
* FuBar / MiniMap
o configurable FuBar/MiniMap Button click-modes (click/shift-click/ctrl-click) for convenience
* Buffing Items / Spells
o a default list of many buffing items and spells is included; however, each list is user-editable to add and remove items as the user sees fit
+ The list of spells is small and contained in one Spell Category
+ Buffing Items are numerous and are broken down into 5 categories: Poisons, Wizard/Mana Oils, Weight/Sharpening Stones, Fishing Lures, Miscellaneous (the latter contains no items by default)
# Each category may be enabled or disabled for performance
This flexibility allows a great deal of personalization and can lead to some strange setups when combined with other options: a paladin jokingly (I hope) made this declaration: I've setup the buff selector to show when combat starts and I added a spell and item to the buff lists so now when I get in combat I have my sharpening stone, bubble, and hearth all lined up and ready to go!
Additional Buffing Modes
* 2-buff Mode
o 2-Buff Mode option (hides after two buff selections instead of one)
o One-time "2-Buff Mode" when Shift-RightClicking (when you don't want it as a constant feature)
* Fishing Mode
o "Fishing Mode" toggle is available from the FuBar/MiniMap button click events
o when active an "F" will display in the FuBar caption (instead of "m/o") and only fishing lures will display as buffing options.
o "Fishing Mode" buffs are remembered separately so there is no need to 'reset' them when entering/leaving "Fishing Mode"
Slash Commands
WeaponRebuff uses the typical Ace2 Options table so all of the configuration dialog features are available via slash commands
* Getting Started
o /wr - options, help, and additional commands
* Frequently Used Slash Commands
o /wr lock - toggles window movement on/off
o /wr config - opens the configuration menu
o /wr position {left/center/right} - FuBar placement options (for folks with crowded FuBar setups)
Custom Sound Options
Two .wav files (warning.wav and lost.wav) are included. You can replace them with your own .wav files, just name them "warning.wav" and "lost.wav" respectively
Localizations
* English
* French
* German
TRANSLATION HELP REQUESTED: The German and French translations could use additional assistance.

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 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
- 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.
