Description
AfterMath will calculate the damage your spells and abilities does after talents, glyphs, relics, set bonuses and auras are taken into account.
The final calculated damage/healing for a spell will be shown on your action bars.
The plan is to support all classes, all spells and abilities, but this is a huge task, so not all classes are supported yet.
This addon should work for all localisations of World of Warcraft.
Supported Classes
Since I'm playing a shaman, this addon is almost done for elemental and also resto to some degree, but not enhancement yet.
For druids, mages, warlocks, paladins, hunters and priests, there is a good support, many spells has been added, although not complete.
The amount of spells and abilities added for rogues, warriors and death knights is not great, so these classes are far from complete.
Supported Action Bars
- Default Blizzard Bars
- Dominos
- Bartender4
Scanners
- Auras (incomplete)
- Items
- Glyphs
- Talents
Slash Commands
The slash command for AfterMath is "/am".
/am coord <x> <y>
Sets the text coordinates on the ActionBars.
/am abtext
Toggles text on the ActionBars.
/am tipinfo
Toggles showing of detailed spell breakdown in the tooltips.
ToDo List
- Hybrid damage spells, moonfire, flame shock, living bomb etc.
- More spell details and breakdown in the tooltip.
- Fill in spells for all classes, at least the max rank ones for now, can always add in the rest later.
- Improve the Aura scanner module.
- Find out how spells scale with leveling.
- Convince some people into helping me out with testing and filling in the talent data of each class ;)

- ereth, for some resto shaman spell entries.

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 has 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.
