Bug Fixes:
-TotemCaddy should now work for those whom it crashed for in 3.1.0.
-Totem of Wrath and Mana Tide Totem should no longer switch to Mana Spring and Flametongue upon changing zones. NOTE: They will still revert when logging in or reloading UI, this is intentional and important.
-Errors should no longer be thrown when switching between two specs with dual speccing.
-French should now work properly (Let me know if it isn't)
Features
-TotemCaddy is now available in Spanish! Thank you Kaie from the EU Server Minahonda
NOTE, TOTEMCADDY IS ONLY FOR SHAMAN ABOVE LEVEL 30, it will not work if you are below 30

-Displays purged spells.
-Has simple buttons for many shaman spells, such as ghost wolf, elemental shields, and weapon imbuements.

-Customizable backgrounds.
-Resizability

If you have any suggestions for what else a shaman might need from his/her mod, feel free to email me with them.

TUTORIAL, PLEASE READ BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS
KEYBINDING THE TOTEM BUTTONS: Go to the default WoW Keybinding UI (hit escape to bring up the WoW options, then click on Keybindings) then scroll to the bottom of the list, you should find TotemCaddy keybindings there.
OPENING THE OPTIONS MENU:
Three ways:
1)Click on the button that looks like a computer on the upper right hand side of the main TotemCaddy frame to the left of the "X" button.
2)Right click anywhere on the TotemCaddy frame (not the buttons) this will bring up a dropdown menu where one the items on it is "Options", click that.
3)Type into you chatframe "/totemcaddy options" or "/tc options".
SHOWING/HIDING/ENABLING/DISABLING TOTEMCADDY:
HIDING: Either "/totemcaddy hide" or click the "X" button on the upper right hand side of the TotemCaddy main frame, or in the options menu, check the button named "Hide TotemCaddy". When hidden, the TotemCaddy main frame will not be visible, but you will still be notified of Totem Deaths, Purged Spells, Buffs Fading, and Damage Totals if you have those options on. Also the slash commands will be functional.
SHOWING: If the TotemCaddy is hidden or disabled and you want it shown, type "/totemcaddy show" or from the menu buttons in the Options menu, uncheck the button named "Hide TotemCaddy".
DISABLING: To disable TotemCaddy, type "/totemcaddy disable" or from the options menu, check the disable TotemCaddy button. When TotemCaddy is disabled, none of the features of TotemCaddy will function except the slash commands.
ENABLING: To enable TotemCaddy, doing anything that will make TotemCaddy shown, or type "/totemcaddy enable" or uncheck the box in the menu labeled "Disable TotemCaddy". NOTE: If you enable TotemCaddy, but you had previously set it to hidden, then it will not be shown, only the notifications will work. To show TotemCaddy, see the paragraph two above this one.
ADJUSTING SIZE/SKINS:
To change the size or skin of TotemCaddy, open the Options Menu and about halfway down you'll see a slider to change the size, and an option to change the Primary and Secondary Backgrounds to whatever your heart desires.
SEEING/RESETTING YOUR RECORD HITS:
To see your record Windfury, Chain Lightning, and Chain Heal damages, either type "/totemcaddy records" or right click anywhere on the TotemCaddy frame (not the buttons) and click the records option. To reset these numbers, click the button in the Records Frame labeled Reset.
LOCKING/UNLOCKING FRAME POSITION:
To lock/unlock the position of the TotemCaddy frame, either click on the circle-ish button on the upper left hand corner of the TotemCaddy Frame, or right click anywhere on the frame (not the buttons) and select the lock/unlock function.
TOTEMCADDY SLASH COMMANDS:
(You can also see a list of these by typing /totemcaddy in game.)
NOTE: /totemcaddy, /tc, /TotemCaddy, and /TC are all valid prefixes for TotemCaddy slash commands.
/totemcaddy enable - Enables TotemCaddy, if not enabled already.
/totemcaddy disable - Disables TotemCaddy, if not disabled already. While disabled, no TotemCaddy function will work except for the slash commands.
/totemcaddy hide - Hides the main TotemCaddy frame, but will still do all other TotemCaddy functions.
/totemcaddy show - Shows the main TotemCaddy frame. **NOTE: In the current version of TotemCaddy, this description is labeled the same as the hide description. This is an error and will be fixed. The functionality works correctly though.**
/totemcaddy people - Shows the people behind TotemCaddy.
/totemcaddy options - Brings up the TotemCaddy options menu.
/totemcaddy center - Centers TotemCaddy, shows it if it's hidden, and restores it to it's default size
/totemcaddy records - Brings up the TotemCaddy Records display.
If there's any question not answered here, let me know.
Due to the amount of requests, I'm going to be implementing several new features to TotemCaddy in the coming months.
SOON TO COME:
-New spells for the small circle spell buttons: Totemic Call, Cleanse Spirit, Tidal Force (Lemme know if there's any others you want).
-Ability to take schools out of the rotation (To only have, say, Earth and Air totems in the rotation).
-Savable totem sets.
-The ability to lock a totem set in so you don't accidently scroll away from it
-The ability to turn of the totem rotation
Lemme know what other features you guys want, I live to serve.
I plan on leveling my main to 80 before implementing any of these updates. (Mod authors play WoW too!)

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.
