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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)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 This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface.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.

Eckie saidLine 39 of the lua for the 2.4.0 version is missing "then" and shows up as an error.
it should read: (string.lower(param1) == "raid") or (string.lower(param1) == "officer") then for i = 0,
it works fine with this fixed.

lighterfluid said@ Yaggy hahah yaggy... did Chuck Norris round-house kicked you in the face when you were kid or what?
@ Lakashi and the others if the author needs to get a life? then you should too since you took the time to post this here... if you dont like it, just dont bother.. no need of saying stupid thing that no one cares about here guys...
Chuck Norris facts are just funny since they are so dumb and funny.
@ Lothaer if you have the skill in lua to, maybe put a time limitation, like 1 print in 2 min exemple. So this will shut the hell up of all those grimpy without a sens of humor that whinne about the spam.

Yaggy saidIs it posssible to give a negative rating to a mod ??? cause this piece of shite deserves a big fat ZERO and the author should be shot and pissed on and not nessecerily in that order !!!!
BTW, there are mods to filter this "Chuck" garbage that the kids like to spew out.

SarcasticOne saidThe fact you took the time to actually write a mod, that would spam chuck norris fact, when its just some retro 80's craze is beyond me. He sucked in the 80's and he still sucks, why else would he be doing so many infomercials :)
