Use EPGPs with EPGP to manage two separate EPGP lists.
EPGPs manages multiple officer sub-notes per character. It hooks the
World of Warcraft API functions that read and write the guild officer
notes to make only a single sub-note visible, while maintaining multiple
sub-notes in the real note.
EPGPs supports exactly two sub-notes, "10" and "25" corresponding to raid
sizes.
Specifically, the real officer note "a/b" will appear as "a" when using
the 10 sub-note, or "b" with 25. If a user overwrites the officer
note with "c" when using the 10 sub-note, the new real note would be
"c/b".
USING WITH EPGP:
The EPGPs module runs alongside EPGP, telling sweet lies about the
officer note contents so EPGP can run without modification (with no
special action required in order to update to a new version of EPGP).
Before using the EPGP mod, one must first specify which sub-note of
the officer note to use with the "/epgps 10" or "/epgps 25" command. This
sub-note remains in use until "/epgps disable". If a sub-note is not set,
or the user forgot to use "/epgps <whatever>", the EPGP mod will show everyone
with 0,0. (An observant user should then remember to use "/epgps" to specify a sub-note.)
The "/epgps <whatever>" command forces EPGP to reload its cache.
To copy the existing EPGP profile from a raw note to the 25 sub-note
(untested!!), use the "backup" button in the EPGP admin panel, then
"/epgps 25" to switch to the 25 flavor of officer notes, followed by
the EPGP "restore" button to rewrite the officer notes, now in the
10/25 format.

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.
