Global Positioning System(GPS)

Darceys Global Positioning System (GPS) Version 2.6

What it does:
Enter the coordinates you want to go to and my mod will point you in the right direction and tell you how far away you are from the target.

Latest News/fixes:

• Now remembers your configuration states (size, hide etc etc)
• New slash commands

USAGE:

• Drag the arrow around with right click drag (I was finding I was dragging it around in battle sometimes with left click)
  
  
• Type /dgps setarrowscale:80 - sets the arrow scale to 80%
• Type /dgps setinputscale:200 - sets the input windows scale to 200%
• Type /dgps hide - will hide the mod (use the draggable button though if i was you its easier)
• Type /dgps show - will show the mod (use the draggable button though if i was you its easier)

Usage guide as requested below:

1. Right click on the sword/arrow and drag to a desired location of your screen.
2. Left click and drag the "Input Window" (left click on its sides or in a blank space within it and drag mouse) to a desired location of your screen.
3. Find a quest in your quest log (press L)
4. Goto "http://www.h-int.co.uk/wow/search" and type the name of your quest, item or mob name into the top input box and press search
5. Find the coordinates on the website for your quest,item or mob and then return to wow.
   (Windows machines press ALT TAB to switch from program to program without closing WOW - I personally run wow in window mode, but that's due to my TFT)
6. Left click in the "input field" that says "Enter info' here 1" and type the name of the quest, item or mob you are looking for (quick note entry only)
7. Now in the 2nd box to the right of the Input note box enter the first coordinate (this does allow point numbers)
8. Now in the 3rd box type the next coordinate (so now you have entered the quick note name, X coordinate and Y coordinate)
   NOTE: Press enter to confirm your change and exit the input mode on each input box
   FEATURE NOTE: Press tab to tab to next input box.
9. Now the tick box at the end should be ticked - signifying that this row of coordinates is active. When this is done the arrow/sword will point you in the direction to the coordinates.

The mod/addon allows the input of up to 5 sets of coordinates, you will see a slider bar tightly packed into the top right of the mod, slide the notch on this from the left to the right to see more input fields.

Let me know if you have any suggestions or if you like the mod :)

Happy leveling and have fun :)

Please let me know of any problems and suggestions are always welcome

Installation Guide

1. Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
2. 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".
3. 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.
4. Verify your WoW Installation Path
   That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
5. 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
6. Start World of Warcraft
7. 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.
