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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)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 This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface.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

Calaana saidIs there a way to remove the extra "set" of buttons that's added on alt+click? I find this highly annoying, and would like to be able to get rid of it or at least know the section of code to remove the functionality. The keybinding listed in the usage.txt doesn't appear to work, at least for me.
I'm talking about the function which gives you the earth elemental next to Strength of earth in the Cha2screen screenshot.
Other than that, perfect addon.. even if I did wish the coding was in english so I could learn from it ;).

DrTruth saidIs there a way to increase the strata of the expanded totem button bars? I know you can change the right/left orientation but I've got so much stuff at the bottom of my screen that the expanded buttons overlap and normally end up behind my other addons. I've searched the lua's for anything that looked relevant but then again I don't speak french.
Thanks in advance.

DrTruth saidWith the help of a friend I found these two instances of strata values:
I changed both values of "LOW" to "HIGH" and now it seems to be working, just adding this in case anyone else was having this problem.

Maybe you should download latest version (Chaman27a) before posting.

Amidaryu saidThat's what I allready did, because I used it when the client version was 2.4.0 and since the mini update it doesn't work anymore.
First I thought it was because of the lua so I deleted it but it didn't change anything.
In fact we can see in the add on liste "chaman2" but then when you actually plays when you enter the command /c2 or /chaman2 it says that there's no command that spells like this.
Edit:
I tried to delete the complete addon one more time and the lua configuration files, seems like when you have the same bug as me you have to delete the old addon instead of just copying the new add on over it, but now it seem's to work....strange...

SirArion saidEnglish version seems to be working still, must be a language typo somewhere.
I would like to ask for the totem timers to be able to right click and destroy the totems.

Amidaryu saidSince the new mini patch 2.4 to 2.4.1 the add on won't work, I'm using the french client of the game. Is it normal, or is the add on still working with other client like the english one ?

Grimstone saidI found a small bug in the german localisation which prevents showing the correct amount of people affected by the mana reg totem:
Please replace line 38
Chaman2.traduction.ameliorationTotemFontaineDeMana = "Manaquelle";
with
Chaman2.traduction.ameliorationTotemFontaineDeMana = "Manaquell";
Everything else is fine, great work. Love your mod!

cybebeer saidHope you still are going to add some of the new features and fix some of the old flaws this addon have. Ill here make a list of what i would like to see changed/improve/added:
- Split up weapon buff and own shield buff so you can chose if you only want one of them shown.
- Fix the size of the tooltip. Atm it's like way too big.
- Add the new feature where you can destroy the totems one by one by clicking on it in the mod in some way.

jeffjorgens saidIdea that I have never seen, but would love to see. Is a Bigwigs plugin. Something that would change the setup of totems as soon as the Boss mod is enabled I hate switching totem's every boss fight.
