Cork is a reminder addon, aimed primarily at buffs. Cork was inspired long ago by NeedyList, and has been Alpha quality for years. Wrath introduces new buff query APIs that let me finally make Cork as small as I’d prefer, so I’m finally pushing out a beta-quality version.
Due to the new API, Cork is designed to work on WoW 3.0 (Wrath). A Live-compatibility layer is provided, but I make no promises that it will work correctly or efficiently. Modules are written for Wrath’s spell mechanics and will not be rewritten for different behaviour on Live.
Cork provides, at it’s heart, one-click buff casting. Some non-buff reminders are included, however, and more are planned.
Implemented
- Reminders for self-only buffs, auras and shapeshifts * Reminders for raid-group buffs (ones that cast on multiple targets) * Reminders for palidin seals and warrior shouts only shown in combat * Hunter pet happiness (includes macro for feeding or calling a feed addon) * Priest Fear Ward (shows whenever fear ward is not on cooldown, must be manually enabled when needed) * Shaman Earth Shield (tracks the last group member cast on, so you must cast manually the first time) * Warlock summons * Warlock Soul Link * Low durability warnings when resting (in town) * Clam shucker * Minimap tracking * Keybinding (thanks cladhaire) * Macro-generating button, like Buffet’s
Planned
- “Friendly target” buffs which are applied selectivly instead of to the whole party/raid ** Druid Thorns ** Mage Dampen/Amplify Magic ** Shaman Water Breathing/Walking ** Warlock Detect Invisibility ** Warlock Unending Breath * Reagent restock reminders when resting * Tabard (once reputation tabards are implemented) * LDB data source * Option to disable the always-up tooltip
If I have forgotten a buff for your class, feel free to open a bug on Google code
One-click? How?
Simple! Make a macro: /click CorkFrame. You might wish to add a /cast [combat] Some Spell at the start as well… for example I put Inner Fire in my priest’s macro.
You can also use the keybinding in the default keybind UI.
Be warned, Cork will only cast out of combat. If you want to apply buffs in combat, you’ll have to do it manually.

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.
