WoWEquip is out of beta for patch 3.3!
Try on different gear and see their total stats and their differences. In short, an ingame CT-Profiles-like addon.
Users of WoWEquip are encouraged to use the addon RatingBuster written by Whitetooth@Cenarius.
Notes
- There are no "validity checks" coded in to ensure that impossible combinations of gear/gems/enchants do not occur. The user is expected to perform such checks himself.
- ONLY the statistics and bonuses gained from the gear is calculated. Base character stats such as Agi, Str, Sta and base values of stats such as parry, dodge and block are not included. This is to allow comparison from a pure equipment-gain-only point of view.
- Only items that exist in your WoW's local cache can be imported from the WoW Armory and Rawr.
- The latest alpha zip can be found at http://www.wowace.com/projects/wowequip/files
Known Issues
- Dodge calculation isn't correct for any level/class but the player's (StatLogic).
- Counterweights can be placed on anything rather than just 2h swords, maces, axes and polearms (WoWEquip).
WoWEquip does not work in my language!
For WoWEquip to work in your language, certain translations to detect items of what type they are must be included. For the most part, many of these languages already have translations. However, Sigils were introduced with WotLK, and still need to be updated for many languages.
Check if the LGII translation namespace needs to be updated for your language:
(Translations for 6th and 7th return values (itemType, itemSubType) from GetItemInfo())
Additionally, if the stat calculations of gear is incorrect or missing a few numbers, it is because LibItemBonus-2.0 needs localization updates as well to support your language. Please report issues of gear stats not being correctly detected at http://forums.wowace.com/showthread.php?t=11962

- To import from WoW Armory, view the XML/XSLT source code of the character equipment page (View Source) and copy its entirety into WoWEquip. Only works in Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox 2 because other browser useragents causes the WoW Armory to return HTML/JS source code instead.

- As with all equipment, only items that exist in your WoW's local cache can be imported.
Quirks
- When the Dressing Room gets dragged offscreen, the model gets "flattened" (lol).

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 has 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.
