This is a World of Warcraft addon intended to help a player evaluate equipment and assist in selecting gear.
This addon will append values to the bottom of item tooltips to help you determine the worth of that item to your character. If an item does not have an effect on your character's DPS, Healing, or Time To Live; EquipEval will not append anything.
These values are calculated based on the item's bonuses, your character's current stats, your character's current talents, and the options selected. All models used for these calculations are written by Lerkur. All models are calculated at steady state.
By default, items will be compared against your current gear. This can be toggled in the options panel.
Version 1.0.4
--Fixed a bug in rogue dps modeling related to crit chance
and weapon specializations.
--Added modeling for poleaxe specialization for warriors.
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 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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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.

Lerkur saidThank you for the bug report Peyana. I'll investigate to see what I can do. This is an error generated by one of the Libraries I use.
Can you tell me what the effect of it was? I have seen this error thrown on occasion while reloading the UI but I am unable to reliably reproduce it.
I'll keep an eye out for new versions of the library to see if the issue gets addressed. Otherwise I will see if I can find a workaround.

Halidom saidWould it possible to compare
Healing longevity, healing percentage as well as survability,
rather then the current
DPS, Healing and Survivability
as a Paladin the DPS i bring to a situation is of a consequence compared to those three points.
Edit: what i mean is it possible to have it customizable on what u compare.

artgirl4986 saidEquipEval has always worked perfectly for my hunter. However, it will not work for my lvl 60 mage at all. In fact, it will not give me a negative dps value for anything. Even lvl 1-10 gear will supposedly "improve" my DPS. This is impossible :-( . Please help!

Lerkur saidHave you made sure that you have the "Compare Gear" option enabled?
You can find this by typing /ee and looking near the upper left hand corner of the panel that is displayed. If this is not enabled, all items will have positive effects.
Let me know if this helps.

McQAD saidVery useful mod, thanks!
One suggestion: I'd love to have the +/- values colour coded (like heal points, for example). Green for +, and red for -; it would make it faster to see if an item is better by just glancing at the colour. This is something I appreciate about heal points when I'm scanning the AH for upgrades.

Lerkur saidThank you for the bug report. I'll look at correcting this behavior.
I have a couple things to ask you to try first. When you upgraded, did you delete the old EquipEval folder and then add the new one? Or did you just copy the files over and replace the old ones? Does this error fire once upon logon, or many times? Does the addon still function after you clear this error, or does it prevent the addon from working?

I was using 0.9.9, i put in ver 1.0. here's my problem: it seems to work with my warrior and with my rogue. but on my warlock, it does not show anything at all.*** i've tried adjusting the options, still nothing. on my mage, i think it displays some, but not all dps/ttl/mit stats on items. on my druid, i think it works on most equipment. I really hope you can fix this bug. keep up the good work.
