Queeg provides an easy way for raid leaders to record who is held in a queue and what time they joined. Guild members add themselves to the queue via a whisper command and the raid leader can then track their in-game online / offline status - including the tracking of guilded and unguilded alts.
Usage
When a raid is formed and people are asked to queue they can whisper the following commands to the person with Queeg installed.
QUEUE and one of the following commands
ADD - Join the queue
REMOVE - Leave the queue
LIST - Request a whisper of the current queue
ALT - Add an alt to their player profile
ALTS - List any currently registered alts
HELP <COMMAND> - Further help on any command
e.g.:
/w Livid QUEUE ADD
This will add you to the current queue.
Note: case is irrelevant - lower-case commands will work just fine.
To register an alt you should be on your main character and whisper the command 'QUEUE ALT <ALTNAME>'. Once alts are registered to a MAIN character they do not need to be registered again unless the saved variables file for Queeg is deleted or they are manually removed by the QUEUE ALT REMOVE command.
When a player logs off their main character and logs on as a registered alt, Queeg will determine if they are in the guild and look for their online status in the guild roster. If the alt is unguilded it will perform a /who lookup in the background, completely transparent to the Queue holder and update the tooltip with the relevant data. This data is stored in a temporary cache to prevent constant /who lookups.
Players that go offline for less than 5 mins will have the words OFFLINE beside their name in Yellow. Players that have been offline for more than 5 mins will have OFFLINE beside their name in Red.
If you want to export the current queue to an text file or dkp system you can left click on the icon and it will bring up a dialog box with the current queue, with each player listed each on a seperate line already highlighted ready for you to copy and paste.
Queeg was designed primarily as a FuBar plugin but can be used without.
TODO
Add communications so that multiple people with Queeg installed will be able to see the queue update in real-time.

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.
