This little improvement adds buttons to the targeting frame when a friendly player is selected.
Basicly it's meant to replace the right click menu with easily accessible one click buttons, so the buttons in the first version are: invite, follow, trade, whisper, duel, inspect.
Use /tbopt ingame to get a window with available options (or click on TargetButtons on the Cosmos feature frame, or select it from the myAddOns list)!
This addon has been originally coded by QuippeR; I just have taken over to fix some things.
- Now also enabled inspect button for other faction
- toc
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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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.

Beutju saidTo fix the invite problem: - Go to you tb folder - Open "FindRemind.lua" with a text editor such as notepad - Go to line 487 - Replace "InviteToParty("target");" with "InviteUnit("target");" (without the "")

XMushroom saidI still get the error when trying to invite people. Heres a picture of it-- http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i309/Jasobeam/?action=view¤t=WoWScrnShot_122406_122256.jpg

QuippeR saidOh, well. Yes, can't fix this. It's because a lot of people had trouble with something overlapping with TB. They couldn't click the buttons because of some invisible parts of a frame or something. So I made TB stay over everything - really everything... I hope this isn't a big problem.

QuippeR saidIf you want to move TargetButtons, type /tbopt in the chat. On the options fram click "Toggle anchor frame visibility". A little anchor frame will be shown near TargetButtons (a yellow wheel). You can drag this frame and TB will follow it. To hide it, hit the button on the options frame again.

XMushroom saidAnother issue, whenever I target someone which I have the targetB's attached to, then I go into interface options, the game offers, I continue to see the targetbuttons in the option screen, where the frame would be located.

XMushroom saidIt works now QuippeR, I disabled all addons, loaded TB up and it was fine. I then went back to enable all addons, logged in, and the icon under the NPC's were gone.NO idea what that was all about, really sorry!
Thank you again for the awesome mod!

QuippeR saidUhm... I don't know why it would do such a thing. Are you sure it's this addon? Try to disable all other addons, then log in. If you still got the icon, disable all addons. Log in again, and if you don't have it anymore, than it's this addon. I can't reproduce this though. (Would be nice to hear if some other guy has this problem too.)

XMushroom saidIt seems this mod causes all NPC's to have the rallying call of the dragon icon placed under their frames. I checked and found out it was this mod.
