What it does
The Faction Transfer Analyzer assists with an automatic comparison of the changes that will occur should you choose to transfer your characters factions.
Blizzard has provided a detailed explanation here however if you're worried about your reputations, or mounts, it may take you a long time to analyze what will occur when you transfer. That's where this addon comes into play. It will assist you by providing a summary of what will change based off your characters current status.
Right now this mod is in testing. As of 0.4Beta, all the mount and reputation transfers are in place. Please report a bug if you find an issue.
Donations
I have setup a donation site via Pledgie. Feel free to donate if you like this mod. I have put countless hours of time and effort into it along with many people who have helped me. I did not write this mod with the intent to make any money from it. I wrote it to help me with some needs that I saw in-game, and well with requests and my goal to make it filled with information it's become a massive project.
If you don't wish to donate money feel free to consider one of the following methods which may be more suitable:
- Volunteer time at your local animal shelter such as the Society for Prevention of Cruelty for Animals (SPCA) or drop a few bucks off for them. If you do this, please let me know.
- Send me some UDE Points. These points are obtained from the World of Warcraft TCG and Mini game.
- Send some gold to one of the authors in-game or help out with some achievements, or even send a message saying thanks. :)
- Ackis Thunderlord (US) Ackis
- Ackis is currently looking for a guild (along with his girlfriend). We're looking for a guild which has competent people that can progress through the hard modes, aren't full of themselves and raids somewhat casually (2-3 nights a week).
Where to get it
How to get it to work
This mod works via slash commands only. The main slash command is /fta.
/fta (Transfer Race) (Origin Race)
The slash command takes two parameters, the first being the race you wish to transfer to, the second being the race you are transferring from. The second command is optional.
Examples
- Transfer from current race to orc
- Transfer from a human to orc
- Transfer from a blood elf to night elf
Feature Requests/Bug Reporting
Read the Bug Reporting and Feature Requesting information before submitted a bug report or feature request. Posting reports in the comments is not the place to do so. I had to turn off the comments at Curse.com because of constant bug reports and feature requests. Comments are for questions on how to use the mod. Please follow these small little instructions to make my life easier. The easier you make development for Ackis Recipe List, the more time I will have to develop other addons.
Bug Reports
Please use the wowace tracker to file bug reports. Posting bugs in the comments is not the place to do it.
Feature Request
Please use the wowace tracker to add suggestions and feature requests. Not all suggestions will be accepted, there are a lot of people using this addon and I'll try to make it as user friendly, but when a decision is made please accept it.

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.
