How to report bugs/issues or request new features?
We are using the CurseForge.com ticket system to track all bugs & feature requests:
Please do not submit bugs/requests into the comments because that makes it hard to track :)
History
Necrosis was originally created in 2005 by a Lomig, a player on the Kaelthas realm (EU/French).
Lomig retired sometime in 2007, so the project is now actively maintained and supported by ArPharazon, a player on the Nagrand realm (US/Oceanic).
The original website - http://necrosis.larmes-cenarius.net - is no longer available, so the offical website (since January 2008) are these pages here on Curse.com (public) and Curseforge.com (development).
Appearance
The Necrosis UI is composed of several distinct parts:
- The main sphere which is clickable (life tap, metamorphosis, etc)
- Graphical display of your shard count, reagent count or soulstone cooldown
- Buttons to create and use summoned objects (mounts, stones)
- Menus for castable spells, curses or summoning demons
- Timers for DoTs and Cooldowns
This revolutionary design was so popular that it was cloned to several other projects:
- Cryolysis (1/2/3) (Mage)
- Serenity, Orison (Priest)
- Venantes (Hunter)
- Totemus (Shaman)
- HolyHope (Paladin)
Integration
Necrosis is meant to be as harmonious and useful as possible, so it is provided with several UI skins. Nearly everything in Necrosis can be placed wherever you want on your screen.
Other Functionality
Necrosis provides sound notifications for the following events:
- when the Nightfall or Backlash states proc during combat
- when your Soul Stone has expired
- when a target cannot be feared, banished or enslaved.
It can also replace your macros for summoning players, demons or mounts - or performing Rituals or trading stones!

How to contribute ?
The development team is full, but sometimes we are stupid, blind or incompetent (or all three :P), so we make mistakes :P This is how you can help out:
1) You found a spelling mistake, or corrected our translations?
Excellent! Submit a new ticket with the correction(s)!
2) You fixed up some bugs in the code because we are dumb and don't know how to code?
No Problem! We are not so proud of ourselves. Just send us your comments & improvements!
3) You want to translate this entire page into your language?
Awesome! Either post a new ticket, or send us an email with your translation :)
We actively encourage people to contribute to the project by submitting bugs/issues/ features/fixes via the CurseForge.com ticket system. Just post a new ticket and select the appropriate template - and we will include it in the next release!
We can also be contacted via the forum or email!
p.s. This entire page needs to be translated into the other languages too :)
About the Speech.lua file
This file is available in all the supported languages and contains the messages that are sent when casting a spell.
You can easily customise these messages by editing this file with a simple text editor, e.g. Notepad (Windows), or SimpleText / TextEdit (MacOS).
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.
