WoW Classic Addons Updated!

Sunday June 23, 2019 11:22pm by Terrorskull

After spending some time in the WoW Classic beta, I have been able to test a variety of addons. I have added a number of the ones I found useful to my classic downloads page.

I would suggest one of the following options to start with:

Option 1

  • TukUI - Quick set up to get going. Make sure to use the /tukui help command to see more options for configuration

Option 2

  • LunaUnitFrames
  • Kui Nameplates
  • Dominos

In addition to the listed addons, many addons from BFA work with minor changes. I have tested this with the Simple Assist (listed in my downloads). Here are the steps to make these work with Classic.

  1. Copy the addon to the wow\interface\addons folder as usual
  2. Inside the folder find the file with the .toc extension, e.g., SimpleAssist.toc (it will be the same name as the addon)
  3. Open this file in notepad or another text editor
  4. Near the top there will be a spot with the Interface version. Set this to the correct version, currently it will be ## Interface: 11302. BFA addons will have a value of 80100.
  5. If there is an entry similar to ## X-Min-Interface: 80000 update it to the same value (11302 as of writing this) or remove it.
  6. Save the file and it should be available to load in Classic. This does not guarantee the addon will work due to restrictions in the Classic API, but in some cases existing BFA addons will work without any issues or changes

Site Updates

Battle for Azeroth and Classic

With Legion winding down and Battle for Azeroth on the horizon, I am make some updates to the site's downloads section. Also, with the announcement at the 2017 Blizzcon of Classic, I will be updating the category names to properly reflect private server, Vanilla, addons and official, Classic, addons. At this time I do not know if Blizzard intends to use an API that works with the existing Vanilla, 1.12, addons or keep with the current API available in Legion and Battle for Azeroth. They could even end up doing something entirely different, so I will make updates as more information is available.

Next Features

I have a couple of things in mind to add to the site next. I have not decided which I will do first, but I plan to convert this section into more of a news/blog format and to implement some kind of a gallery. The news section will feature the newest post in this section, and a new page will be added for history and allow for linking directly to a specific post. The gallery I am still deciding if it will be set up to include multiple galleries or just have categories, similar to the downloads, that can filter down and specific images being displayed. These are still in the planning phase, but just an idea of things I plan to add in order to be able to more easily add new content, thoughts, and share information.
