Addons when Multiboxing discussion

[Twl231]

Yeah, the problem is that even though you curate your list on curse for just classic and you click on an addon for 1.13.2.....It will still download a retail addon.

Hey Moorea, is Aux addon updated for Classic ? Have you tested this on the stress test/beta? Thanks!

[Twl231]

Get "Better Vendor Price" it's.... better :-) {better as in it gives you stacking and full stack vs current stack vs unit price information}

I commented on youtube will repeat here, don't get your addons from manually maintained site, their info is stale, get them from twitch app/curseforge or
https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/cat160.html

Yeah, I didn't see a use for Better Vendor Price, but then I realized that knowing how much a full stack vendors is incredibly useful at maximizing gold per bag slot. Will do.

As to curse/twitch...that is definitely the optimal way to go, but they seem to be clunky in searching for only WOW Classic addons. I have restricted my search to 1.13 and the first mod is DBM. Your directions are clear, and when I do all that I get tons of 8.2 mods when I actually click on the hyperlink.



Then



And I think great! DBM...Click on DBM and I get:



with a zip file named 8.2.15

Yeah, I'd rather not find out on Monday that all my Curse Addons are for Retail, so I downloaded them from Classic only sites. Just my experience.

It's still a bit bugged but I've been working with the author to help make it work, it may not be done right away but soon I think

yes the search is clunky, you have to click the addon page and see to the right:

and pick the "WoW Classic" links


but the better way is in the twitch app, as Tin showed, select the _classic_ folder, if you then search/install from there it'll be the right versions

You scared me so I went and double checked the versions downloaded into the interface/addons folder.

The Twitch search shows game version 8.2.0 like you said but the download is the right zip. Both the latest version listed in the "My Addons" list is "DBM-Core-1.13.1-classic.zip" and the changelog.md in the interface addons folder is 1.13.1.

I was getting frustrated because the App isn't showing that drop down menu for me. But I found the issue...I had to go to the setting option to the right and add it as a game manually and point it to the retail folder.

Now, All I see are 1.13.2 addons. Going to see if they have the bulk of my addons so I can keep them auto-updated....Thanks for the help and patience to you and Tim. MB community is still my favorite gaming community

If https://www.wowinterface.com/downloa...ssicCodex.html works as well as pfQuest did, then I would recommend trying that, I didn't get to try it myself on stress test though.

I took the superset of addons in this thread and added some more and am really wishing I hadn't as I am getting lots of LUA errors. I am likely going to either disable most (or remove most) and see if the errors stop... If they do then I will hopefully only add 1 at a time back in slowly.

If you are using ISboxer I would start with the bare minimum addons and see if you have any issues and if not, and you need more functionality, then I would add one at a time and test/verify.

I am tired but off the top of my head the bare minimum I would recommend are:

ISBoxer (note this one should be added automatically for you by isboxer);
EMA-Classic
DynamicBoxer
WowLua (for development)

Maybe someone else can chime in with any adjustments to the above...
