BEFORE posting bugs, please ensure that you are running the latest version of IMA available from this page.
Igor's Mass Auction
This is the unofficial, working, version of Igor's Mass Auction mod with some bug fixes and enhancements (including the ability to tab between auctions). As of right now this is the only version of IMA that works 100% with TBC.
IMA adds an extra page to your auction window that allows you to submit up to 18 auctions at once. Prices and duration can be set on an auction by auction basis.
IMA is compatible with other auction mods including:
- Auctioneer
- WOWEcon
- EasyAuction
If you find an auction mod that doesn't work with IMA please report it in the comments section below.
If you are running Auctioneer and you have Autofill enabled (it's an option in Auctioneer and is on by default) then IMA will price your items with the price you used last time you auctioned the item. For users of EasyAuction there is an "EasyAuction" mode selectable from the drop down menu which will autofill auction prices using EasyAuction's pricing.
Usage
To add items to the IMA frame from your backpack you have three options:
- Drag and drop them onto the IMA frame with left click.
- Hold down ALT and left click on items.
- Tick the "One Click Auctions" check box at the bottom of the IMA frame and then left click on items (this option is mostly intended for players who are unable to use a keyboard and mouse simultaneously).
Pressing Tab and Shift-Tab will move the cursor forwards and backwards through the various edit boxes. Pressing Enter with "All Same Price" mode enabled and the cursor in the stack size window will update all current auctions with the pricing in the All Same Price window (the same as if you'd clicked on "Set All Prices").
Left clicking on the 12h/24h/48h buttons at the bottom of the IMA pane will update the durations on all auctions accordingly.
What to do if you encounter a bug
1) Before going any further, check the version number at the TOP of the IMA auction frame against the latest version available here. If you are not running the latest version please download and install the latest version first.
2) DISABLE ALL OF YOUR MODS. Make sure that your bug still occurs with all of your mods disabled. If your bug is that IMA is conflicting with one other mod then disable everything except IMA and that one other mod then test to see if the problem persists. Hours and hours of my time have been wasted by people lying in their bug reports for IMA, claiming to have disabled all of their mods because they're too lazy and selfish to spend 2 minutes testing with their mods disabled. Don't just disable the mods you think are related. Don't post and tell me you're not running anything else because you think the mods you are running are harmless. Don't waste my time. Test properly, disable all of your mods. Thanks. :)
3) If you are receiving an error window while in the auction house using IMA please make sure you post the entire text of the error window correctly. Clearly explain what you were doing when the bug occured and what I will need to do to reproduce the bug on my computer.
4) In the unlikely event you are receiving an error window related to IMA and you are not at the auction house please install BugSack (which is available on Curse gaming) and provide the entire error report that BugSack generates.
5) If you are encountering a bug while using IMA that isn't generating an error window, please check you are running the latest version of IMA first. When reporting the bug please explain clearly what is happening, provide extremely detailed CLEAR numbered steps showing how to reproduce the issue, and tell me what you expect to be happening instead. Rambling paragraphs where you write as if you were talking face to face with your friend just make my life hard. Clear numbered step by step instructions are what you should be posting.

1) Some small in game optimisations to reduce IMA's impact on WoW.
2) Updated auction durations to 12/24/48 hours.

Change log - 2.5.1
1) Added French localisation thanks to Helghast.
Change log - 2.5.0
1) Updated TOC.
2) Fixed RealUnimportant's cross faction trading issue. Shipping multiple stacks of different sizes through the Neutral AH should now be much simpler.
3) Added Chinese-Traditional localisation thanks to DDx.
Change log - 2.4.3
1) Code cleanup. Removed quite a bit of excess code from the .lua and .xml which should translate into a smaller memory footprint for the end user.
2) Added version number to the top of the IMA frame to aid bug reporting.
Change log - 2.4.2
1) Updated TOC for WOW 2.0.3.
Change log - 2.4.1
1) Fixed Cancel IMA Auction bug introduced in 2.4
Change log - 2.4
1) New speed auction / accessibility option. This is mostly intended for users who are unable to use a keyboard and mouse simultaneously. While the 'One Click Auctions' checkbox at the bottom of the IMA pane is ticked, left clicking items in the backpack will automatically move them across to the IMA pane. The idea is to cut down on the tedium of dragging items across to the auction pane one at a time. Right now it defaults to 'Off' everytime you log into WOW, IMA will remember the setting between sessions in a future version.
2) IMA is now Load on Demand! WOW will now only load IMA if you open the auction window.
3) Fixed xsi:schemaLocation path.
4) Localised some strings ( added the Spanish localisations) which were hard coded in the XML.
5) Added checks to 2/3 auction inputs ('drag and drop' and 'left click only') to prevent duplicate auctions. Alt-LeftClick already had a check.
6) Fixed IsControlKeyDown() typo.
7) Minor code cleanups / optimisations.
8) Minor comment fixes.
9) Added some extra code/XML for the features to come in 2.5
Change log - 2.3
1) WOWEcon compatibility! Thanks to WOWEcon for providing the patch (it actually sat in my mailbox for a week before I saw it, sorry guys. :))
2) A couple of minor code cleanups.
Change log - 2.2
1) Fixed problem with dragging auctions onto the IMA frame.
2) Fixed IMA_AllSamePriceFrameStackSize Text/Number bug.
3) When 'All Same Price' is enabled the Start Price gold field will now be focussed. Pressing Esc once will unfocus without closing the auction window.
4) When 'All Same Price' is enabled Enter can be used in the Start/Buyout Price fields to advance the focus to the right. Pressing Enter in the Stack Size box will work as if you had clicked 'Set All Prices'. Tab/Shift-Tab will still allow you to move focus forwards/backwards.
Change log - 2.1 Fixed - Original Release
1) Fixed alt-click trading/mail bug (CT_MailMod bug).
2) Incorporated Wolfchamane's Spanish localisation. I'm not able to test this so feedback is appreciated.
3) Added the ability to use Tab/Shift-Tab through all of IMA.
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.
