Holy Librams! is a tiny addon with a narrow purpose: to automate libram-switching in order to maximize either the healing throughput or mana efficiency of holy paladins. It includes logic to manage alternating between the Libram of Mending and the [i]Libram of Absolute/i Truth and works in a 100% transparent manner in and out of combat.
For more information about this addon, including documentation and forums, please visit its home page, linked above.
v1.2; March 26, 2008
- Updated for v2.4.
- Fixed the slash help text. (Thank you, Stormbringer!)
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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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.

Bangerz saidFantastic mod, however I found it to be lacking the functionality I required, i.e. an option to use the PVP flash of light librams, the libram of light, and options to change which Holy Light librams are used if you do not have the libram of absolute truth.
I have added these and a few other things (in game menu, logic changes) here: http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/11947/
If this original mod is updated to include these things I will remove mine, however in the meantime its another option.

loulis71 saidi have tried it today and it seems to work fine but i was wondering if you can make it work with libram of light also? So if my target doesn't have BoL and the mp5 buff is already up then i could maximize my FoL using Libram of light that i have from naxx days.
thanks in advance

Hammerjudge saidIt would be fantastic if it allowed (even via editing a pref file) you to swap librams for the zeal, consecration, retribution and other librams pallys can get.

ladenedge saidYes, this addon is not compatible with non-en locales. I'm more than happy to accept a patch if you'd like to make it work for you, though.
As for the slash commands, you're right there too - it should be '/hl', not '/ls'. I snuck in a fixed version here at Curse - thank you very much for the note!

Stormbringer saidHi,
well, I downloaded and installed it ... ;-)
But it never switches any libram ... I'm running an german client (maybe thats the 'problem'?).
Another thing:
when typing '/hl' I get the info:
.. HolyLibrams is in efficiency mode (mp5)
Using '/hl help' shows:
"HolyLibrams 1,0 options:
.. /ls mp5 - efficiency mode
.. /ls hps - throughput mode
.. HolyLibrams is in efficiency mode (mp5)
But shouldn't it be '/hl mp5' & '/hl hps'? /ls ist not an valid option ... my system says ...
Thanks a lot, and have a nice day
