Cosmos died. But life is not over! This is the bona-fide update to the original Cosmos version. Accept no substitutes!
A World of Warcraft add-on that allows you to easily view your current equipment durability and can be configured to remind you to repair at merchant. The features are:
*** GUILD FUND REPAIRS NOW POSSIBLE THROUGH THE REPAIR POPUP WINDOW *** If your logged-in character has been granted guild fund access for repair purposes, an additional button labeled 'Use Guild Funds' will be displayed in the repair popup window. Clicking this button will cause all damaged items, both equipped and in bags, to be repaired using guild funds. If the button appears but is disabled, then there aren't enough guild funds available to you at that time to repair all your damaged items.
- Shows durability of all equipped items as a percentage in the bottom left corner of the character window. A red exclamation mark indicator is shown when an equipped item is broken.
- Displays a small draggable, hideable window that displays the current durability percentage.
- Mousing over the durablity percentages displays a tooltip with estimated equipped item, bagged item, and total repair costs.
- When visiting a merchant who can repair, you are shown a window that reminds you to repair your equipment.
- Both the durability percentage window and the merchant repair window can be moved by holding down <shift> and dragging with the mouse.
- Allows you to repair equipped items and items in bags separately if desired.
- Allows you to set a durability warning level from 0 to 99, and displays a dialog box when your durability percentage reaches the specified level or lower.
This addon was initially created by Derkyle, was adapted to patch 1.11 and imported to Cosmos by Zespri, and is currently being maintained by Yarko.

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.
