Change History
The Titan Panel change history is available at the Titan Panel Portal site.
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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)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 This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface.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.

Jaddz saidHello, please help. One annoying thing I realized with the new Titan Panel 3.2.7.20400 is that I rebuilt my UI so deleted all the WTF/Interface/Cache folders and the new Titan Panel addon is showing only the top bar after install. In the past is showed both top and bottom bars for me, but now I have to set it back (included the gold/bags/durab/etc. stuffs too) at each of my characters.
So my question is:
Is there any way to change a variable or do something in a config file to set it back as in the earlier versions, showing both bars defaultly at every character?
Would be very kind, waiting for some help, thank you!

M_Nyte_Templar saidJaddz, use Titan's right-click menu to set up Titan the way you want for one toon. When you load a different toon, use Titan's right-click menu to transfer the other toon's Profile to this one. Repeat for each toon.
This is covered in the TitanPanelSetup-READ_ME_FIRST.txt file included with every version of Titan.
And thanks for using Titan Panel.

M_Nyte_Templar saidThe Titan Panel download contains a Titan folder (the Titan bar addon itself) and many other folders, one for each of the built-in addons that plug into it. All of these folders must be in the AddOns folder.
Look in your ..Interface/AddOns folder. It should contain the following folders:
BonusScanner, Titan, TitanAmmo, TitanBag, TitanClock, TitanCoords, TitanGoldTracker, TitanHonor, TitanItemBonuses, TitanLootType, TitanPerformance, TitanRegen, TitanRepair, TitanRider, TitanStanceSets, TitanXP, and WeaponQuickSwap. It should also contain two .txt files.
If these folders and files are not there, copy them from your MyMods folder.
If these folders are there but in another folder (not directly in the AddOns folder), then remove them from that folder and place them in AddOns. Then delete that unnecessary folder.
This is the correct path and the panel will display: ..Interface/AddOns/Titan and ..Interface/AddOns/TitanAmmo, etc.
But this is an incorrect path and the panel won't display: ..Interface/AddOns/[SomeOtherFolder]/Titan and ..Interface/AddOns/[SomeOtherFolder]/TitanAmmo, etc.
Hope this helps.

Jaxsur saidIf you moved the "My Mods" folder into Addons, that won't work...you need to copy each folder in My Mods to Addons. There should be no "My Mods" in your Addons folder. Or you could just use the curse client, and not have to mess with any of it...

M_Nyte_Templar saidThey cannot be in one compact folder -- they MUST be only in the AddOns folder. Move them from the compact folder into AddOns.

Lethosos saidHere's the quick and easy way to seperate your skins from the built-in list. I do these changes to keep any updates from overwriting the inital texture listing and allow any texture artists to just keep an updated LUA file included with their files.
Files: TitanPanel.lua, TitanPanel.xml, Localization.lua
New Files: TitanTexturesCustom.lua
Titanpanel.lua
---
Find the function TitanPanel_MainMenu.
Add under the texture settings options menu settings this code:
-- custom texture settings option menu
info = {};
info.text = TITAN_PANEL_MENU_CUSTOM_TEXTURE_SETTINGS;
info.value = "CustomSkinSettings";
info.hasArrow = 1;
UIDropDownMenu_AddButton(info);
Under that, in function TitanPanel_OptionsMenu, add under the END case for the IF statement "SkinSettings" this code:
if ( UIDROPDOWNMENU_MENU_VALUE == "CustomSkinSettings" ) then
for i,e in pairs(TITAN_AUX_CUSTOM_TEXTURES) do
info.text = e.name;
info.value = e.path;
info.func = TitanPanel_SetCustomTexture;
info.checked = TitanPanel_istexture(e.path);
UIDropDownMenu_AddButton(info,UIDROPDOWNMENU_MENU_LEVEL);
if e.path == "Interface\\AddOns\\Titan\\Artwork\\Custom\\" then
TitanPanelRightClickMenu_AddSpacer(UIDROPDOWNMENU_MENU_LEVEL);
TitanPanelRightClickMenu_AddTitle(TITAN_PANEL_MENU_SKINS, UIDROPDOWNMENU_MENU_LEVEL);
end
end
end
TitanPanel.xml
---
Add <Script file="TitanTextureCustom.lua"/> under the script call for TitanTexture.lua.
Localization.lua
---
Add this to the PANEL_MENU list:
TITAN_PANEL_MENU_CUSTOM_TEXTURE_SETTINGS = "Custom Skins";
TitanTexturesCustom.lua
--
Copy TitanTexture.lua and rename it TitanTexturesCustom.lua.
Change TITAN_CUSTOM_TEXTURES to TITAN_AUX_CUSTOM_TEXTURES.
Clear and populate the list with your custom textures.
Optional: Create a Custom folder in Titan\Artwork and add Custom\\ to the end of the paths in the list for every new texture you add. Don't forget to put the new textures in the Custom folder!
