aren't addons for which you have to pay against the wow eula/tos/whatever it is called? hopefully i've the addon somewhere in a backup
I was hoping I had it backed up somewhere, as I just set up for dual-boxing last week and wanted to give the guides a try. Unfortunately, I don't have it anywhere. I saw a post on the official forums stating that you could still find it bundled with Jame's guides, but the mod that he uses (wow-pro) doesn't work with these files.
I am unsure of the EULA on addons, I remember that Blizz would control some and pay the author but you could not charge ( or ask for donations) in the addon itself.
If someone has a clearer understanding, I could post my "backup" file.
Its murky. According to the TOS, you can repost TourGuide. No one is allowed to charge for add ons and when Tek (of whom I am a hige fan) made his add on only available through a paid guide, he effectively made it a paid add on - against the TOS. His friends a Vryanx Guides claim to have come up with some bizarre loophole that allows them to do this within the TOS - who knows.
But from a legal perspective it is Tek's creation. I do not think you can legally redistribute it without Tek's permission. Not sure though.
Me? It's Tek's. If he says I can't use it then I am not going to. Sucks but it is his call :)
If you have previously downloaded tour guide, and needed to transfer it to your work computer, and didnt have a working email, then maybe the only way for you to do that is to upload it on a public file host and post the link here (for your own reference only). You know what Im sayin?
Well Ive searched for 2 hours to even find an old 3.2 tourguide but closest as I got was in Japanese :(
mhm, it took me 2 minutes to find one of the latest releases. no clue where you're from, but i prefer to use google.com for that, not the localized one ;)
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=tour+guide+download+wow and on page 2 use the link to the official forum ;)
Danke Schön. I googled that but dont think I looked @ page 2 :mad:
Edit: Ok so I got it working but had a major issue with guides not showing up in game, namely most of the "vanilla" specific ones. I managed to solve Elwynn Forest (the .lua didnt have "end)" in the end, if added the guide will show), but Redridge Mountains 18-20 I still cant get. It has end), and it was missing from guides.xml but I added it there altho it wont work (have tried restart). Anyone who has more experience with the addon could take a look at it? I use files from the latest release from alcattle's homepage.
Is ok, I fail at internet and fourm searches
I used your google search and clicked literally EVERY link on page 2 and got nothing. If someone could upload the addon to rapid share or something that would be awesome. Also if it was released under GPL (which i read somewhere it was) then you are free to change and redistribute the program as you wish.Quote:
