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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)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 This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface.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

Love the addon cept for not being able to lock it in place so i wrote this little sniplet to fix that. I am in no way a professional programmer, i just know enough to make things do little things that i want or need. Im sure this wasnt the best way to do it either but it does seem to work.

First thing i did was change a line to make qbar locked in place from the start:

You will find, under the heading Main:

f:SetMovable(1);

Just change the 1 to 0:

f:SetMovable(0);

And it will be locked in place.

Then scroll down till you find the heading Command Line.

You can copy and paste this in there between any of the / commands. They begin with --

-- Lock

elseif (param1 == "lock") then

AzMsg("Qbar is now |1"..(cfg.lock and "locked").."|r.");
f:SetMovable(0);

-- unlock

elseif (param1 == "unlock") then

AzMsg("Qbar is now |1"..(cfg.unlock and "unlocked").."|r.");
f:SetMovable(1);

Now use /qb unlock to be able to move it around to where you want it. Then use /lock to lock it in place

Like i said this is just an easy temp fix till Aezay does some real coding and puts a lock function in qbar him/her self.

I think I have found a quest item that didn't get picked up. I will upload a screen cap. I can verify that Qbar was enabled and working as it picked up the next quest items I received. No I had not set it on ignore or at least to the best of my knowledge I had not set it on ignore. screen cap and again here.

Thank for adding those options. I had another idea of something that would be nice. Could you please put in an option to turn off the border?
Thanks!!

Oh, and if possible be able to lock the position?

Spectre7, there is not a direct way to see which quest item belongs to which quest, so that request will most likely never happen. Maybe some shift click on a button to hide it would be a good alternative.

Fantastic Idea for an addon! Thank you. This may be a bit much, but would it be possible to add some other bar-type things? Scaling. Locking. Transparency. Switching the bar vertical. Reversing the order (the side it builds from). That kind of thing. (some of these have been said, so I second those)

Thanks again!

This is a good addon one thing i'd like to see as well as the ones rlenny said would be that items are removed from the bar when you have completed the quest, like the objectives i mean not hand it in

Thx lol :D

rlenny, this addon has no options at the moment, so you aren't missing anything :P They are some good ideas, and I will add some at least, when I get some time.

Hey,
Youve got a good thing goin, in the past i used a hidden bar with Trinity bars 2.0
Some ideas though (these may be implmented already and i just cant figure it out)
-Change the alpha of the bar
-Scale,Rezise
-Keybindable (very necessary for the bombing quests)
-Hidden till mouseover
-Filter for unwanted quest items on bar.

hehe im asking alot eh?
