This is my first addon, so feedback and ways to improve my code is welcomed.
What it does:
This addon is made with the pure intention of increasing the amount of information shown on
the paperdoll (also known as Character Sheet). The additional information shown is based on
which of the following modules are enabled (They all are by default) :
Stats
- This module includes Stats Conversions in your Strength, Agility and other miscellanous
tooltips by adding information such as the Armor and Spellpower given by Intellect for an
Arcane mage or the spellpower a priest, warlock or boomkin gets from Spirit. As well as
many other such as AP from Armor for DK/Warriors, it should works on every conversions
acknowledged by StatLogicLib.
- Also shows how much your intellect increases your replenishment ticks, as well as how
much Replenishment should be ticking for in the mana regen tooltip. (This function is
disabled on non-mana using classes, for obvious reasons)
Hit Rating
- This module changes the hit rating tooltips of the melee and spell tabs.
- The Melee Tooltip will display your One-Handed, Two-Handed and Dual-Wielding Hit
separately as there are talents that only affect one of those, also includes Draenei's
Heroic Presence. The Armor Penetration is still in there, in a more "Straight-to-the-Point"
version, but if you do not like it, there is a "Verbose" option which reverts it to what it
normally is.
- The Spell Tooltip will diplay your hit based on your three talent trees (For example,
Arcane, Fire and Frost for a mage) due to talents again. The Draenei's Heroic Presence is
calculated, as well as the Shadow Priest's Misery if it is on your target. The API doesn't
support knowing if Faerie Fire is improved or not (Sorry Boomkins).
- There are options for "Always include Heroic Presence" or "Always includes Debuff" for
testing purposes, or if you are raiding with a boomkin that has the talent.
Crit Rating
- This is a new module included in version 1.5, it modifies the crit rating tooltips for melee, ranged and spells.
- All abilities and spells are disabled by default so you will have to go in the
configuration menu -> Crit, and select what you want to be shown.
- This will make your spells and abilities to appear in the Crit Rating tooltips along with
any critical strike chances modifiers they have, if an ability has no crit modifiers, it
will not appear in the configuration menu for you to select.
- It supports every class-based item sets bonuses. All of them, including if a rogue
somehow has his hands on 8 pieces of tier 3, it's supported!
- For Spell Critical Tooltip, you have the option to disable the default spell schools from
showing in the options. A mage has no need to know his/her Holy/Nature/Shadow crit after
all.
- There are some API limitations with with this module
- You can only have 10 icons in a tooltip, so if you
have more than 10 abilities enabled, some might be missing icons near the end. This is also
true for default spell schools and their icons. (If you are only showing 2 spell school
crits, you have 8 spells with icons.).
- If you are showing a talented ability (say,
Dragon's Breath or Conflagrate) and you are not specced into it. It will show a blank icon,
while still taking one of the 10 avaible icons.
Feel free to posts comments, suggestions and feedback. You can also use the Ticket System to posts improvements or bugs you found and believe fits in the spirit of this addon.
Commands:
- /ecs or /enhancedcharstats: Brings up the options menu also found in the Interface.

- It is currently localized in english, and partially in zhCN, zhTW and deDE thanks to generous translators, if you would like to have the addon translated in your own language, please contribute and submit translations here

Core: Added a few checks in :ScanMods that allows me to remove some case.rank tables when the values are obvious (such as 1,2,3)
Hit: Removed some redundant changes thanks to core changes.
Crit: BIG Cleanup. Only load what is needed now. The datatable is now much more compact.
Worthy of Note: With this change, the crit module went from 510 tables created at startup down to 15-20 depending on class. The amount of lines also halved.

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.
