Addon confusion
Back to the game after 8 years. Lots of questions.
First, I have the old game on my computer. An HP running Windows 10. Second, I did play a secondary "starter" account recently. On Dec. 31, 2018, I reactivated my original account by purchasing the BoA game and a one month subscription. On Jan. 5, 2019, I tried to download and install a group of addons. After reading some info I finally placed the addons in the following folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns I was told that this was the proper folder after the most recent patch. When I loaded the game, I do not get the "addons" button. I am not sure if there is another folder to place the addons in, but I am able to successfully launch the original account by clicking on the "World of Warcraft Launcher" icon in the World of Warcraft folder listed above. Please advise Tun |
It's possible that you did not install them correctly. Check this: https://www.wowinterface.com/forums/...l_doesntwork_2
(That hasn't been updated yet for the _retail_, etc. changes, but it's good enough. :) ) |
I'm sure I installed them incorrectly, otherwise they would be working. But, i don't think the "sub" folder is the issue, unless the "_retail_" folder is the issue.
I just can't seem to find another folder on my comp that they should go into. |
If you open the Launcher then select:
Options/Show In Explorer That will make sure you are using the correct game folder (just in case). Then it's _retail_\Interface\Addons |
To be sure it is not a subfolder issue, you could show us a screenshot of what you have.
Open the folder of an addon until you see its addonname.toc file. Take a screenshot showing the file path in your file explorer window. |
Thank you all for your help. There was indeed a secondary step that didn't appear in the thread posted. I needed to take the "unzipped" folders and open them up too, and them place the contents into the addons folder. Once that was done, I was good to go. Well, except for 10 lua reports that came up after I logged on!! lol But, I'll deal with them later.
Appreciate it! :) |
