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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)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 This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface.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.

Question:
Would you rather a suspend the timer when you slam and come back to a swing timer just like it was before a slam

OR

Would you like to come back to a new swing bar with just the time remaining.

ALSO

I ported all three of the LD50 addons to Ace3 and clean up a few rough points, so the next release is soon.

I would much rather have a bar that is suspended, and then continues. Theres really no point to having the swing timer be a bar if the amount of time represented by its length is constantly changing; might as well just have it be some text if you're going to make it reset every time you slam.

I've noticed in release 3.3 that the swing timer changes to reflect the cast bar (slam), while slam is casting, then reverts back to tracking swing. Is there any way of disabling the mod from trying to show my cast bar? It's a bit jarring for the bar to suddenly become a 0.5 second (or 1.5 untalented) slam cast bar, then jump back to representing swing time.

This addon has issues when warriors use Slam. Since Slam no longer resets the swing timer, any use of it will cause the timer to be off until the next autoswing. Here is an example with a 3.5s 2H:

* I autoswing. The timer shows 3.5s and counts down.
* With 3.0s, I start a slam, which has a 1.5s cast time untalented.
* I perform Slam with essentially 1.5s left on the swing timer.
* The swing timer reset to 3.5s. This is the part that is now wrong.
* About 1.5s later, I autoswing. The swing timer resets again, showing 3.5s left. It is now in sync again.

This may also be an issue with hunters and steady shot as I believe it follows similar behavior. Both Slam and (I believe) Steady Shot now push back the autoattack/autoshot in the case of overlap instead of consuming it. Let me know if you have any questions or if the description did not make any sense.

Using ld50_abar 3.1 and a normal 2H weapon, every result text on a normal hit is showing up as "Resisted". No buff spells or anything to cause additional magical damage, and no resists of any kind showing up in the combat logs. I might try some debugging to print what spell LD50 thinks is being resisted, but have no experience with the combat event code yet.

Farmbuyer said

Heh, figured it out. The Wrath client adds new parameters to some combat events; adding those parameters to the parsing code gets it all working. What's the easiest way to send you the changes I've made to my local copy to get it to work?

Forgot to add: this happens with only LD50_abar enabled, and all other addons moved aside.

Wow, I added a line of script to my reply to SmuvMoney and it broke the comment system...

Anyways, I just had to edit the embeds.xml file to make the folder path agree with the name of the LibSharedMedia folder from my Omen install.

SmuvMoney said

I noticed that two libraries were left out of the release that are listed in embeds.xml:

CallbackHandler
LibSharedMedia

If you update from v48 or earlier, you won't notice the error unless you use an updater that deleted the folder before upgrading. If you update to this version directly without having a previous version, you get errors about missing libraries.

Thanks, I found it! In addition to adding those two libraries (and LibStub as well), I had to modify the embeds.xml file as follows:

line 19: Ban User Report Permalink

vonwarr said

I'm a long time user of your swing timer and I've always liked it and never had any problems before... but as of this patch I can no longer get it to work. None of the different variations of chat commands (/ld50_abar, /ld50_abarz, etc) will seem to pull it up.

Actually it doesn't even seem to be loading when I enter the world. It shows up in my game menu as consuming 771KB of memory when I log in, but there are no chat messages on entry or UI reload.

I've tried running it as my only addon and still no dice. Can you think of anything else that may affect it?
