BagSpace - By Quickshot14
The idea behind this mod is to first show you the bag space used and maxed (ex: 15/25 or 15 bag slots used out of
25 avalible) and to give a text warning in your chat windows as well as center large floating text.
There are a total of four avalible warnings, the first three can be modifed and enabled at will and the fourth is
for when the user inventory is full. The first three goes in order of bag space warnings, the 3rd being the nearest
to the inventory being full.
By default these settings are setup to be, 10 slots free, 5 slots free and 2 slots free. BagSpace also comes with
full FuBar functionaly/includablity by default!
Also NEW in v.2.1.1b is the addition of options for the non-FuBar display, including in and out of combat alpha and the scale or size.
Also NEW in v.2.0.1b is the addition of a third display that can show ethier your ammo, soul shards or any
profession bag type. Just like the secondary display but can be used along with the second display allowing the user
to display two additonal bag notices. Particulary usefull for ranged users who also have a profession bag, or warlocks
with shards who also have a profession bag, or a user that has two gathering profession etc. These also can be configured
and changed to the users liking/prefrence.
Also NEW in V.1.5.5b is the additon of a second display that can show ethier your ammo, soul shards, or any
profession bag type. These include just like your normal inventory bag space, warnings and floating text of when
your running low/out of ammo, shard or profession bag space! And also these can be configuerd and changed to your
liking.
Also NEW in V.1.5.0b is the additon of new options to display your bag status to party and/or raid and/or guild
chat as well. So your party/raid/guild mates can know your bag status. Invaluble I belive for looters in a raid
or party! Each warning level including out of space can be enabled or disbaled for party and/or raid indvdualy!
Also NEW in V.1.5.0b is the additon of new options to allow the user to change the location, size, and fade time
of the floating text!
This is an early release beta version and future version will be done and included! So please download check out
and report bugs and/or feedback/feature requests!
Version History: ---------------------------------
ALPHA: 10/24/2008 -
created first version with basic functions being total dependent
and integrated with FuBar and ChatAlert
BETA: 10/26/2008 -
added options menu and saved varibles to enable and disable the
three of the four warnings.
V.1.0.0b: 10/27/2008 -
made the entire addon able to be self usable no addons required
but still has support for FuBar. ChatAlert dependcy removed and
since unable to detirmne if its loaded made it not even optionaly
required.
V.1.5.0b: 10/29/2008 -
Made many changes/addtions, first resized the options menu to a much
larger size for new feature and options. Added the ablity to tell in party
or/and raid or/and guild chat your bagspace status. Made it avlaible for party
and raid to turn off the 3 warnings indvindualy and a global for guild.
Also added options for the floating text, slider bars for its postion on the
screen, as well as its size, and fade time.
Also added the start of new secondary display for ammo and soul shards and
additonal bag types. Currently only ammo is set and in use if enabled, the
drop down to change what type the secondary display shows is not yet fully
functional.
V.1.5.5b: 10/30/2008 -
Added and Finshed the secondary display for ammo, soul shards and additonal bag
types. Now the user may display this information and change it at will, also it
saves each type, Ranged (ammo), Soul Shards and each bag type seprately for easy
editing.
Some code has been re-worked a bit for these new additons. Also a readme is now
included in the release.
V.1.5.6b: 3/24/2009 -
Some minor bug fixes with loading the script and the display.
V.1.6.1b: 4/18/2009 -
Updated for new 3.1.0 Patch, bug fixes and code changes where required.
V.2.0.1b: 4/20/2009 -
Added and Finshed the third display for ammo, soul shards and additonal bug types. Now like the second this will display this information and change it at will and will save the cahnges approtpriatley. Because of this the second and thrid display can be turned on and off at will, and nethier one can display the same type. Checks have been added in the code for this new addition and feature.
This was a suggested feature based on a comment of something doing two
collection profession but only being able to see one of his profession bag status. These now fixes that problem, it also
allows for ranged users of ammo and warlocks with shards to use profession bags as well as there shard status. Many code revisions for this new display and the options added as well.
V.2.0.3b: 4/21/2009 -
Minor bug fixes:
First the total Ranged space avalible has been corrected following the changes to stack sizes of ammo/arrows (was 200 now is 1000) and should display correctly the amount of 'max' space for such items now (my aplogies to you ranged users!)
Second a minor code error when the 3rd display type was changed was displaying text incorrectly in the FuBar/Non-FuBar Display. This has been corrected.
Third a very minor GUI issue where the options GUI title was displaying the incorrect version number has been corrected.
Also the 'default' ranges for displaying alerts for ranged has been changed from 400, 200, 50 to 500, 250, 50 to corelate with the new ammo/arrow changes. Of course the user can change these and all previous user changes will be kept intact.
V.2.0.5b: 5/10/2009-
Code reworking and optimzation, had a lot of messy code since this was my first addon and have tired to collerate and otherwise make more effecient and less space.
V.2.1.1b: 5/11/2009-
Added long awaited non-fubar window display options. Including in and out of combat alpha's, and scale size of the window. Allowing the user to easily be able to 'size' the window to there likeing as well as change its alpha. If fubar is enabled and used these sliders are disabled and not allowed to be changed.
V.2.1.5b: 5/12/2009-
Added tooltips to all fields in the options menu.

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.
