Baud Consumables will automatically replace consumables in your action buttons with the best ones available, including battleground specific items. This addon is designed to support item swapping for food, drinks, bandages, healing/mana potions, healthstones, and mana gems. More effective items will generally have a higher priority, as will conjured and battleground specific items.
Fixed an error that popped up occasionally. Also added various new consumables from Burning Crusade.
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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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

Narune saidA feature that I think would be an awesome addition to this mod, and fit with it's overall functionality would be the addition of commands for use in macros. So that if we wanted to create a macro for use in a keybind, or be included in an existing macro we could use syntax something like /use bestwater or perhaps /use baudwater to have it auto drink from the item shown by Baud Consumables. I love this mod, but sometimes forget that the default UI isn't quite as intelligent as my action bars now are. I once went half a level on my mage thinking my drink keybind was broken just because I didn't update it to match my bar.

EdFox saidOutstanding mod.
The lists have become a little out of date with all the new items and factions, but that's easy to fix. Compliments to the author on fine programming that allows these easy updates.
Simply open the .lua file and replace the 55 and 65 level sections of food with the following. Food only so far... my main is a rogue. :)
--Level 55 {Item = "Blackened Trout"}, {Item = "Smoked Talbuk Venison"}, {Item = "Smoked Black Bear Meat"}, {Item = "Zangar Caps"}, {Item = "Moser's Magnificent Muffin"}, {Item = "Jessen's Special Slop"}, {Item = "Clefthoof Ribs"}, {Item = "Mag'har Grainbread"}, {Item = "Garadar Sharp"}, (Item = "Diamond Berries"}, {Item = "Skethyl Berries"}, {Item = "Conjured Cinnamon Roll"}, --Level 65 {Item = "Stromgarde Muenster"}, {Item = "Lyribread"}, {Item = "Ogri'la Chicken Fingers"}, {Item = "Sporeggar Mushroom"}, {Item = "Zangar Trout"}, {Item = "Grilled Shadowmoon Tuber"}, {Item = "Bladespire Bagel"}, {Item = "Mag'har Mild Cheese"}, {Item = "Telaari Grapes"}, {Item = "Conjured Croissant"}- +0

Also Enchanted Water was missing from the level 25 section:

JRCC saidThe problem with this is Combat Lockdown i.e. you cant change action slots in combat, and mana stones and potions don't share cooldowns thus meaning you wouldn't be able use a stone then a potion in combat which is fairly useful.
