What is NazGuildRecruiter?
NazGuildRecruiter is coded with Ace2 Libraries, this was created for the guild Nazgûl on Altar of Storms and the default message is ours (if you are part of a different guild be sure to change it and attune to the new guild).
Features:
- Needs to be attuned to your guild before it will work, and afterwards will not spam for any other guilds you may be part of (on alts, different servers, etc.)
- Uses GuildRecruitment channel in all cities
- Skips Instances and Battlegrounds
- Spams upon zone entrance and periodically when questing in zones (based on minimum and maximum recommended level of the zone, for example if you do not want lowbies it will skip durotar, etc.)
- If you cannot invite people to the guild, will only spam if someone who can invite and has this addon is online
- Coordinates with everyone else who has this addon so you don't overspam a zone
- Cycles the Guild Message of the day periodically if you have permissions to do so and that option is selected
Getting Started:
- Type /ngr msg <your spam here> - this will set the spam message
- Change any other behavior you wish using the commands below
- Type /ngr attune - this will attune the addon to your current guild and go to work
Commands:
- /ngr - shows available commands
- /ngr attune - attunes the addon to your current guild
- /ngr msg <your message here> - Changes the message to spam
- /ngr interval # - replace # with the number of minutes between spammings in a particular zone
- /ngr cityspam - toggles spamming via the guild recruitment channel in cities (you need to be joined of course)
- /ngr zonespam - toggles spamming via general in regular zones
- /ngr levels minimum # - set the minimum level you want to recruit (used to determine which zone to spam in, only means anything if zonespam is toggled on)
- /ngr levels maximum # - set the maximum level you want to recruit (used to determine which zone to spam in, only means anything if zonespam is toggled on)

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.
