Previously Ankh Cooldown Timer
Important!
When upgrading to this version, you must also delete your old "Ankh Cooldown Timer" folders!
Features
- A Reincarnation cooldown monitor and ankh helper for shamans.
- Always-visible Reincarnation cooldown timer
- Alerts you when Reincarnation becomes ready
- Remembers when you last used Reincarnation
- Reminds you when you need to buy more ankhs
- Automatically buys ankhs when interacting with a reagent vendor
- Integrated DataBroker plugin is compatible with TitanPanel and FuBar*
Note that in order to use AnkhUp or any other DataBroker plugin with FuBar, you will need to download and install Broker2FuBar.
Usage
Options are available in the standard Interface Options window. You can type /ankhup to jump directly to the AnkhUp panel.
Click and drag to move the monitor window. Right-click the monitor window or DataBroker plugin to open the options panel.
Localization
Compatible with all locales. Please report any issues with localization.
Translated only in English and French currently. If you can help translate for German (deDE), Spanish (esES or esMX), Russian (ruRU), Korean (koKR), or Chinese (zhCN or zhTW) locales, please send me a PM.
Reporting Bugs
Before reporting a bug, please make sure the bug isn't on the list of known issues (see above), and hasn't already been reported. Then post a bug report that includes the following information:
- what version of AnkhUp you are using,
- what the problem is,
- what you were doing when the problem occured,
- whether the problem occurs every time you perform that action,
- the exact text of any error messages you see (make sure Lua Errors are enabled in your Interface Options, or install !BugGrabber and BugSack),
- whether the problem occurs when AnkhUp is the only addon enabled,
- whether the problem occurs after deleting the AnkhUp saved variables file, and
- what locale you play WoW in.
Please note that tickets that don't include a version number, or are too vague for me to figure out what you're talking about, will probably just be deleted. I don't have time to play "20 Questions" with you to fix a problem I'm probably not experiencing myself.
Requesting Features
AnkhUp is intentionally limited in scope to features related to the shaman Reincarnation ability. If you have a suggestion for a feature that is in line with this goal, post a feature request describing the feature and why you think it would be useful.
Credits
AnkhUp was inspired by the Ankh Cooldown Timer addon, which was originally written by Starforce of Shattered Hand (EU).

Please do not redistribute AnkhUp in compilations without asking me first! See my license page or the README file included in the download for the full license terms under which AnkhUp is released. Thanks!
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.

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.
