About Hunter's Mark

This addon will show the actual RAP bonus instead of the base bonus when mousing over the Hunter's Mark debuff.

It was based on a discontinued addon written by Sorata.

I have only tried it on an English client, but in theory it should work on all clients, as the addon finds out what the spells are called in the current locale.

It will also show when the Mark is at full strength as a combat text message. This particular bit is in English only currently.

Suggestions for improvements are welcome.

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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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.

Awesome thank you, I'm using the Ace distro and it's working fine now.

LibSink is now used in the SVN version on wowace - sadly I can not edit the project here currently, but will upload a new version when the admins have fixed the issue.

For those that get the 'CombatText_AddMessage' error,
you have 2 options:
- enable the build-in Blizzard Floating Combat Text from the game interface options.
The error message comes from the fact HuntersMark doesn't check if blizzard FCT is enabled/loaded before trying to output its message there.

Alternatively:
- Open up \AddOns\HuntersMark\HuntersMark.lua in a text editor
Go to the error line (112) that reads
```
CombatText_AddMessage(string.format(L,unitname), CombatText_StandardScroll, 1.0, 0.5, 0.5, nil, false)
```
and replace with these 5 lines
```
if CombatText_AddMessage then
CombatText_AddMessage(string.format(L,unitname), CombatText_StandardScroll, 1.0, 0.5, 0.5, nil, false)
else
UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage(string.format(L,unitname), 1.0, 0.5, 0.5, nil, 2.5);
end
```
This will make it so HuntersMark uses Blizzard FCT if it's available but falls back to the UIErrorsFrame
(where the red warnings usually show up) if it's not.

An even more elegant solution since this project already uses the Ace framework,
would be for the author to utilize LibSink-2.0 library that allows alot of flexibility as to where the message will be routed.
The library has its own validation and will not to try to route to a destination that's unavailable.
