Wow Addons For Mac
With some wow addons there is more than one addon you will need to make them work (called dependent addons) so you might need to download another addon to make it work; that information can be found in the information area of that addon in the Curse website.
So, let's say I come up with a list of files that you want to replace with Mac versions, the next question would be 'Where are you going to get those files?' If you have access to a Mac with those files, you can copy over the entire WoW folder.
Problem solved. Much easier than you mention. But let's try answering it anyway: So,.exe and.dll files will have to be replaced. Those are going to be written exclusively for the Windows Environment (Win32 api calls.), so you can't save them. MPQ files are Blizzard data files, and those can be saved. Looking at the other files I have in my WoW install folder there's a bunch of other files you don't need, like patch and downloader files. There's a few other extensions that are just data files:.db.mfil.pfil.tfil I also have a manifest file.
That's microsoft specific, but it's also a data file. It should be associated with.dll files, so it doesn't need to be copied.
According to the blue poster on this thread: There's a bunch of folders you can just delete, because they'll get built automatically by the system. Those are the files that you can keep and copy over if you want, because they're just data files, but they also aren't strictly necessary to have WoW work. What is it you're optimizing for? The accepted answer is not entirely right I have done this.
I had a gaming PC and wanted to play WoW in my Mac work laptop when I'm traveling. Here are the steps:. Download and install game client from the battle.net account page, eg:.
Once the first part of the install has completed, it’ll load the launcher and start downloading a huge amount of data files. Quit the installer. Copy the “Data” and “Updates” folders from your PC WoW install into your Mac’s Wow install folder.
Run the “World of Warcraft Repair” app on the Mac. It’ll think for a while and should finish with a “Repair successful”. Run the “World of Warcraft Launcher” app on the Mac. It will download the latest patch executable. At this point World of Warcraft should be fully patched, with all content downloaded. Log in and enjoy!
Remember to eat in real life too!;) (p.s.: I've done this and it works) (source: ).
Post by trest I haven't had problems with using any of the regular WoW add-ons I've downloaded on my Mac. The standard WoW add-on sites (wow-interface, curse) work fine. I don't think the Curse client for Mac has been updated in years now (I've never tried it), but all the add-ons can be installed and used without using the client. On Macs, add-ons need to be installed in /Applications/World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns (unless you've put your WoW folder somewhere other than /Applications, in which case /Interface/AddOns). To install most add-ons, just decompress the add-on's.zip file, then move the resulting folder into the AddOns folder. Note that some add-ons come as a package of multiple add-ons (such as the popular DBM/Deadly-Boss-Mods add-ons).

For those, decompress the.zip file, but then move the folders from inside the resulting folder into the AddOns folder. You can generally tell that an add-on package is multiple add-ons when the decompressed folder contains just folders (and not any files ending in.lua or.toc).
Wow Addons For Mac
Post by Abashira I've been running Mac exclusively for six years now, and have never played wow on a PC.And I've never downloaded an add-on that doesn't work on my Mac because it's on a Mac. If you download an add-on and it isn't working, there are usually two things that could be wrong.
A) The add-on itself is out of date. In that case it's not going to work on a PC either. Some add-ons have been completely abandoned and taken up by another developer, and renamed; Or the original developer has renamed the add-on, and does't update the old version.
Look for the most recent version, or find an alternative. B) The curse client for Macs has been discontinued by curse.com.
This means you have to manually drop your files into the path: Applications / World of Warcraft / Interface / Addons. However, whenever you download an add-on to your computer, look inside the downloaded file first. If there are two or more files in the main file, and no programs (just files), these need to be removed from the main file, and dropped individually into your Addons folder. (If there are files programs in the main file, just drop the main file right into your add ons folder.) As an example, take Deadly Boss Mods. When you open the downloaded 'DBM-Core-5' folder, inside are 15 sub-folders. Remove all 15 of these folders and drop them directly into your 'Addons' folder. ( All the folders: DBM-Brawlers, DBM-Core, DBM-DefaultSkin, DBM-DMF, etcetera, all need to be extracted from the 'DBM-Core-5' folder, and dropped into the Addons folder.) The Curse Client program does this automatically for PC users.
But we Mac users have to do the same thing manually. If you don't extract the sub-folders, DBM won't work.
But it has nothing to do with being a Mac. I hope this helps.
