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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)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 This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface.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.

"Drill down and search your tradeskills for their elements"
Meaning:
Sometimes being an Engineer (or one of the other tradeskills) means you're fiddling with heaps upon heaps of separate little twiddly items before being able to build up your masterwork gadgetry. Reverse Engineering will turn you around on your head. Now you can work from a top down perspective. Simply open your Tradeskill panel up to the desired object, then click on the icon for any part that requires construction, and voila, you'll be scrolled directly to that item. Not only that, but there's a handy 'pop back' button that will pop you back up the stack to your previous location!

You'll be able to instantly see what parts are craftable by the cog indicator that will appear when you mouse over the item.

The description doesn't actually say anything, so I'm not sure what this does. I logged into WoW and went to my engineering panel, but it was no different than before. I typed /reverseengineering, but was told that wasn't a valid command.

In short, without some basic instructions this add-on doesn't seem to do, well, anything. Could you please update the description with more details on what it does and how to use it? Thanks.

occasionally when i open my engineering window for the first time after logging in, the item link will not work.. and i will have to switch to a different profession.. use a link there.. then go back to engineering.. and it will work.. and sometimes vice versa.. this seems to be the same for the 'go back' link

A quick fix is to edit 3 different lines:
line 96, 129, and 147.
where they say "self.Hooks[button:GetName()]["whichever"]()" -
just add button in the last ().

So line 96 would be:
"self.Hooks[button:GetName()]["OnClick"](button)"

do the same on 129& 147 and it seems to work.

[[since a lot of blizzards functions now want self as the first variable, passing button(the original self) through seems to fix it]]
