To request to be queued for summon, send "!summon" in /raid, /party, or in a /whisper to a warlock with the mod installed.
This Mod has been updated to now work with WoW 3.2, if you find any bugs please let me know and i will do my best to fix them, ty SaraFyna (The Scyrers)
I recently found a mod called GepyLock that did not work quite well anymore and had not been updated in quite some time, so I modified almost all of their original code, in order to end up with this.
At it's base, it is a summoning queue to help the warlocks summon people. Used primarily after a wipe or when moving to a new zone to catch up the slackers, it is not used much, but it makes life quite a bit easier on us warlocks when it is. It takes away the need for us to continually ask who needs a summon, and we don't have to work out who is summoning who, we just click on the queue and it summons the next person in line for us.
Now, the mod is not just a summoning queue. It also is kinda like spyware that allows the anyone in the same raid to find out what spec an entire class is, along with any important talent selections they have made (Imp fort/spirit on a priest, all the pally blessings, which Health stone on a lock, etc). But, for a non-warlock, the size of this mod is 43 kbs. Which makes it one of the smallest addons you can get currently, and it has no active operations, so it cannot slow your computer down at all. It keeps track of Soul Stone cool downs and who has a soul stone on them. These last abilities were put in with the intent to help facilitate buff assignments during a raid. And also for someone to easily determine which warlock needs to SS someone or throw health stones.
The one downside for the mod is that it can only gather information from people who have the mod installed currently. So I would like as many people to install it as possible, but it is in no way required for anyone. Although I would highly suggest anyone who is raiding with us as a warlock to grab it because it makes life so much easier when we have to summon 2+ people.
Fixed minor Bug error and updated for WoW 3.2
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.
