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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)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 This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface.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

Vasril saidI was just wondering if its possible to make this unequip an item when switching from outfit to outfit. Like being able to remove all items for no durability loss. Or switching from one outfit that has a hat, to one that doesn't.
And compliments to you Baudzilla.

Detheavn saidI'm kind of looking for what Frogofdoom was looking for, since there might be sets for roleplay servers which just require a robe to be put on. Don't know if this is hard to achieve though. Still, thanks for yet another easy and simple addon, I love it :)

Mirius saidGreat mod!
I was looking for something like this as I was manually changing gear when I went from cat form (dps) to bear form (tank). I was looking at outfitter because it changes gear when I would change form but I installed this first and the menu is so easy along with the program that I can't justify using any other gear mod.

picachu saidI remember some time ago i could specify a set with, for example only a tabard/festival dress and by pushing this set it removed all my gear except the one(s) specified. Well i tried to get "naked" again lately, but it changed/replaced only the one gear i had in this set over my currently wearing without removing the others.
Dunno if this is working as intented, but it was nice to be able to remove all the repair-bill-hungry gear occasionally and change into a more comfy suit. :P

lmarecha saidGreat addon as all of yours. I really love them, small and they do what they're supposed to do nothing else.
I was using outfitter, but I'm nearly ready to change. A couple thing that block me:
- Cannot have empty space in gear set (ie unequip when there is nothing defined in the profile)
- No possibilities to auto switch when changing form/stance (ie druids cat/bear) like in outfitter
Looking at baud mount, may be both could be merged as they basicly do the same (auto equip the toon).
Another request would be to have a 'Baud" menu in fubar.. with all your addon registering into it.

nolf77 saidHello,
Sorry for my bad english ( I'am french man :-) and I paste comments important for me . Thanks.
1- I agree with picachu, making it possible to use hotkeys would realy improve this mod. Other then that, this is the best gear mod that I worked with so far.
2- Baudzila: I love your stuff. low memory and effective. This is a "Great baud addon". Thanks for the good work! :-)
Regards.

picachu saidI would really like to see the ability to show/hide the small icon and/or FuBar support, just for hiding the movable icon as i don't like to flood my screen/minimap with icons.
Of course that leeds to another need, to beeing able to hotkey the sets, as this really makes changing gear really faster.
Anyway, these are just suggestions, thanks for this great addon.

Baudzila saidI'll need to change the ranged slot art for the shaman, paladin and druid. Guess I could add an empty slot placeholder too. Add tabards and shirts to the list too, I guess.

danlsam saidI like this because it is so easy to use. Can you add support for a Paladin Relic swap in your next revision?
Thanks
Just figured out that you can use the RangedSlot and put a relic into it.
Thanks

rubenm saidI love this add in, i would like to see it have and option for changing the tabard. I do a lot of Battlegrounds, and like to wear the tabard of the BG i am in. So that would be very helpful, i could have a set of cloth for each BG with different tabards

Frogofdoom saidHi there. I love your mod (and all your others too :) ). Just a couple of useless little suggestions. First, it'd be great if you could add a way to make a slot empty in a gear set - so, for example, one could have a nude set if they wanted to. It'd also be cool if you could add a shirt slot. Anyway, thanks for another fantastic mod. Great job!

Baudzila saidGlad you like the mod. I'll keep the icon idea in mind for later. As for my mod having better features than others, I really don't know. I'm sure there's lots of good ones out there, but they don't have my style =)
