MoveAnything! continued for WotLK by Wagthaa <Savage Tribe> Earthen Ring EU
MoveAnything! enables you to move, scale, hide and alpha blend just about anything, making customizing your User Interface a walk in the park.
Note: Alpha blend is in it's early stages and do not yet work on all frames.
Kudos to Skrag, Jason & Vincent for earlier versions.
Enjoy!
To show the MA window type /move, bind a key or use the button below the main game menu.
In order to take full advantage of MoveAnything you should bind a key to at least one of the "Move frame" bindings.
Quick Reference for v3.0.2-7 **
The MA window:
Move - toggles moving of frame
Hide - toggles hiding of frame
Reset - undoes MA's changes to frame and removes frame from list if custom
UCS - Use Character Settings - toggles character specific settings on/off
CE - Collapse/Expand - collapses/expands all categories
Close - closes the MA window. Ctrl-Shift-Alt click reloads ui
Interacting with the movers:
Left-Drag - moves frame
Left-Drag the small buttons - scales frame
Right-Click - stops moving frame
Shift Right-Click - toggles visibility of the mover, while still allowing dragging and scaling of the frame
Mousewheel - adjusts alpha blend. This feature is still in it's early stages and will not work for all frames!
Key Bindings:
Toggle MA window - toggles MoveAnything's main window
Move frame - Safe - toggles moving of the first found parent frame, from MA's default list or a top level frame if possible
Hide frame - Safe - hides frame at cursor, from MA's default list or a top level frame if possible
Reset frame - Safe - resets frame at cursor, from MA's default list or a top level frame if possible
Move frame - Exact - toggles moving of the exact frame at cursor
Hide frame - Exact - hides the exact frame at cursor
Reset frame - Exact - resets the exact frame at cursor
Update frames - updates all frames influenced by MA
Slash Commands:

/move framename - toggles moving of frame named "framename"
/unmove framename - resets frame named "framename"
/movelist - lists character specific settings
/movecopy servername playername - import settings from character
/movedelete servername playername - clear settings for character
/move and /unmove accepts several shorthands: last, minimap, player, target, targetoftarget, focus & pet.

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.
