LastStandCaller V1.2
Fixed the "smart broadcasting". The addon will now be able to call out to the correct channel based on your group type. I couldn't get it to broadcast in the raid channel for the life of me so the set up is as follows:
- Player in group = Party chat
- Player in raid = Yell
- Player solo = Say
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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)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

Dadu saidAny chance of an update on this? Was working just fine up to 2.4, when I assume the
combat log changes broke it. I loved this as did our healers.

JohnCover saidLastStandCaller V1.1 is is a temporary fix until I get it to work in raid. It is set to always broadcast in "say". The previous version doesn't work at all in raid, this one you'll at least have the warning in "say".

Russta saidThis is a nice addon but I do wish you'd work with it some more and make it customizable.
When I'm doing stuff solo, it announces in say.
When I'm in a party, it works perfectly. No complaints there.
When I'm in a raid, it does absolutely nothing (and that's the time I need it most).
I'll accept there are times in a raid where I may not be set to /ra but there's no way I'm ever set to /s under any circumstances so I'm not sure what to do about it considering the advice you've given below.

Connavar saidgreat tanking mod, one question though, is there a menu for it and if not, how do i get it to post in party or raid chat?

JohnCover saidNope no menu that I know of, its a very simple addon. As far as getting it to post in party or raid chat, it should just spit the message out in whatever channel is currently default. For instance if you're in a raid and want it to send the alert to party chat just type "/p" to set the chat default to party.
