This is a drinking game for World of Warcraft!
Background:
So me and a few friends have a bunch of drinking games for all sorts of activities, and one of us decided to start making rules for a WoW drinking game we could play. After a few runs we thought the game was great, but sometimes it was a little hard to remember when to drink! So after joking around about making an addon to keep track and tell us when to drink we started work on it. This is the result.
Have fun, and drink responsibly (I recomend Kool-Aid!)
Slash Commands:
/wonderbooze (/wb for short) - brings up options and pages to edit the rules!
The Drinks Frame:
You can move the frame around by dragging the "WonderBooze" title around. When you earn a drink a bar will be added. The bar will have a short description of why you earned the drink. Like "Quest Turn in" for turning in a quest, or "Death" for dying. When you take a drink click one of the bars to get rid of it. The idea is when you are busy fighting the bars might add up but when you have some downtime take a few drinks!
These are the current rules for the WonderBooze Wow Drinking game, all rules can be turned off and adjust the drinks for them (within reason):
Leveling up:
Levels 01-09: 2 drinks
Levels 10-29: 3 drinks
Levels 30-49: 4 drinks
Levels 50-59: 5 drinks
Levels 60-69: 6 drinks
Levels 70-79: 7 drinks
Level 80: 10 drinks!
Quest related:
When you complete a quest objective(ie: you kill the last mob you needed for a quest): 1 drink
When you turn a quest in: 1 drink
EG: So if you have a quest to kill 5 mobs, and collect a feather you will get a total of 3 drinks for completing both tasks and turning it in.
Death:
Everytime you die you take 1 drink.
Battlegrounds:
All:
BOUNTY KILLS: Everytime you or one of your party (not raid) members kill one of the top people from the opposing team you get a drink! In AV the top 5 players give a drink. In AB the top 2 give a drink. In WSG the first place person does.
REVENGE KILLS: If you die in a battleground you are tasked with finding the person who killed you and to kill him for revenge! Like bounty kills this is if you or anyone in your party (not raid) kill them.
- When you finish a Battleground you get drinks! 1 drink for losing, 3 for winning!

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
