About Skills

Skills is a really simple addon which saves you the time of visiting a World of Warcraft database site.

Each time you gain a level Skills shows you which skills you have to train.
You can also enter a level and/or class to display that class's skill for the specified level.
It does not only display the skill itself but also a clickable link which, if clicked, displays the skills tooltip.

This is how you use Skills:

/skills level class maxlevel
- level: Which level to display, default is your own level
- class: Which class to display, default is your own class
- maxlevel: This will display all skills from the specified level to this for the specified class
/skills search class skillname
- class: The class to search in
- skillname: The name of the skill you wish to search for
/skills config startup/level
- startup: Toggles the startup spam, default is on
- levelup: Toggles a notification on levelup, default is on

This info can also be shown ingame by typing /skills help

If you don't enter anything Skills will display your class's skills for your level.

If you enter a class you also have enter a level but NOT a maxlevel, examples below:

/skills - Would for me as a 55 rogue not display any skills since there are none
/skills 56 - Would for me as a rogue not display all skills for rogues on level 56
/skills 56 warrior - Would display all warrior skills for level 56
/skills 56 warrior 58 - Would display all warrior skills between level 56 and level 58
/skills rogue 58 - Would trigger an error since you did not enter a level
/skills 56 58 - Would also trigger an error since you did not enter a class

Currently Skills will not list talents (the one you get when you spend a point in that talent), e.g. it lists Hemorrhage Rank 2 but not Rank 1 nor does it list Cold Blood
What Skills will do though is add a "(Talent)" to all skills that require a talent.

TO-DO List:

More comments
Only list skills which are actually trainable for the player e.g. only skills which has not been trained or if the player has spent a talent if the skill
More options in the menu
Prettier color scheme ;)
Maybe even a frame, similar to the talent one
Titan/FuBar support
Only load skills which the player wants to display (since the addon currently takes 169 KiB it's not a priority)

If you find a bug please send the error message and a description of the error to nicklas_ansman@hotmail.com

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.

Well, I've stopped played for the moment (probably forever) but I'll try to check back once in a while to update the code as much as possible. But as i mentioned before since the mod is so simple it will not likely need any updates in the near future.

Happy levling =)

Since Skills is so basic it does not need any updates now, and will probably not in the near future (except a .toc number bump)

Hmm, seems like windows has pretty much ruined my computer so i'm gonna reinstall it.
It might take a day or two to settle in so i won't be very active here during the next 24-48 hours

Sweet. :) Also, I would just like to add that I really like the simplicity of the addon. Nothing too fancy, easy to use, and seems lightweight so far.

Glad you like it, 157 KiB so far, and that's with all the skills loaded =)

I might fix so that the skills only load when the user requests it.

I like this so far, and I think it has a lot of potential. One thing I would love to see is some sort of reverse search that allows me to input a skill, and the addon tells me at what level I can learn it. Any chance of it?
