/lf
that will toggle it on and off. turning it on lets your flying mount (and you while swimming) flip all the way around so that you can fly upside down or do flips.
also, /lf flat will force you to stay level with the ground, useful for long trips. use /lf to get back out of that mode.
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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)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.

menace97 saidIs there any way it could default to ON when logging in. As Jezpadoo said, you have to turn it off, then on for it to work. Lots of fun!

ZekeTheSquirrel saidOr you could use the default key bindings for adjusting pitch, [Insert] and [Delete] and forget about typing and mods all together. If these buttons are not set, you can easily choose your own keys by going to Menu>Key Bindings> Pitch up & Pitch down

halifaxveeshan saidk, just so you know.
i downloaded and tried it. I flew around upside down for a while, it was pretty cool. Made sure a bunch of people outside of Shat bank saw me :)
Then I tried to use my pitch up key instead of my mouse. Server Disconnect. It went back on fine after that but I'm not touching it again :)
Awesome mod though.

Littledude saidInteresting mod...fun for about 2 mins, but good job none the less. One thing though, i had to go in and change the activation /fl to /lol because i use loot filter and that uses /lf to open options window. No biggie, easy to do...just an FYI

Squishie saidAll I can say is the more this trick gets around, the sooner it's removed from the game completely. You should know damn well how Blizzard reacts to things like this. I'd suggest you remove this because of that.

Amavana saidunlikely...it's a console command that's part of the game, they put it in intentionally. if they remove the ability to do it, that's their choice. if they don't want people to do this, then you shouldn't be able to do it anyway, but i doubt that's the case, there's lots of customizable variables, not just this one, they just don't want normal users messing with them and getting confused. they're there so that people who understand what they're doing can play with them, they aren't hacks, they're completely intentional.
