Description
AnkhUp is a Reincarnation cooldown monitor for shamans. It can display the cooldown in a standalone monitor window, or through any DataBroker display addon. It also reminds you when you're running low on ankhs, and automatically restocks when you visit a vendor.
Usage
Options are available in the Interface Options window. You can type /ankhup or right-click the monitor window (or DataBroker plugin) to open the Interface Options window and jump directly to the AnkhUp panel.
Left-click and drag to move the monitor window.
Localization
AnkhUp is compatible with all locales.
The display text in AnkhUp is translated into English, French, and German. If you'd like to provide translations for another language, send me a PM.
Reporting Bugs
Do not post bug reports in the comments section. Instead, follow these simple steps to properly report a bug:
- Check the ticket tracker to see if the bug has already been reported. If it has, you can comment on the ticket if you have more details to add, but please don't post another ticket on the same issue.
- Try some basic troubleshooting. Sometimes, you can solve a problem yourself right away, but even if you can't, troubleshooting will still give you additional information to include in your bug report.
- Submit a new ticket. Include as much of the following information as you can:
- What version of AnkhUp are you using, and where did you download it from?
- What version and language of WoW are you playing in?
- Does the problem happen when AnkhUp is the only addon enabled?
- Does the problem happen after you reset AnkhUp's configuration?
- What is the problem?
- List the steps to reproduce the problem.
- Include the text of any error messages associated with the problem.
- Attach, or include a URL for, a screenshot if the problem is graphical.
Remember to check on your ticket after a few days! If a ticket is waiting for a response from you for more than 10 days, it will be deleted.
Also, tickets that do not include a version number, or that are too vague for me to have any idea what the problem actually is, will be deleted.
Requesting Features
- Check the ticket tracker to see if the feature you want has already been requested. If it has, feel free to comment on the ticket if you have anything to add, but please don't submit another ticket for the same feature.
- Submit a new ticket describing the feature, and why you think it would be a good addition to AnkhUp.

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.
