***********************************
Azuarc's Leveling Guide (for Alliance)
v 1.5
***********************************
Azuarc's Leveling Guide is an in-game version of Azaurc's excellent leveling guides that are available at Allakhazam.com (see this link for prelude and table of contents).
If you're not familiar with Azuarc's guides, they provide a quest-based method of leveling Alliance characters (sorry, there's currently not a version for the Horde side) from level 12 to level 70 (note that Azuarc's guides are still under development and the guide stops at level 67).
A word of warning: while this add-on version contains all the essential information, it is edited for content and length. Graphics are not displayed, so maps and other visual information is missing. Also, links and other web-style artifacts are not available either. As a result, it is *highly* recommended that you read the web-based version first and then use this version as a reminder of where to go next.
** Features **
- Quick access to individual chapters via a drop-down menu
- Forward/back and first/last access to scenes
- Character-based memory of last chapter and page accessed
- Editable guides (note that only currently displayed guide can be edited, and edits are lost when switching chapters)
- Access bindable to a hotkey
- Searchable pages
- 10 different user-selectable fonts
- Optional Minimap button access
- Optionally runs as FuBar plugin
** Instructions ***
How do I install it? - Just unzip to your interface\addons directory.
How do I run it? - type /azuarc or /alg to bring up the notepad (note that access can also be bound to a hotkey via the standard WOW interface. You can also click the optional minimap button.
How do I use it? - Click the "Select Chapter" button to choose the appropriate chapter for your level (note that it will remember the last page number and chapter accessed for each character, enabling you to level multiple characters at the same time without having to switch back and forth). Mouse over the other buttons for tooltips -- they're fairly self-explanatory.
** FAQ ** (note that these have been updated since the beta)
1) The interface is weird - it looks like a word processor, not a book.
You are probably viewing the stand-alone version. I originally chose this option for speed of development. However, if you are running Fubar, it will function as a fubar plugin, with the text displaying in the tooltip, which provides for a much cleaner appearance.
2) Are you Azuarc?
No, I'm dfscott (aka Cailee on the Exodar server). The guides themselves are authored by Azuarc -- please don't bug him with questions about the addon.
3) Did you write the guides?
No, I only wrote the addon -- please don't bug me with questions about the guide info. Go to the Allakhazam website and add your comments there. Azuarc is generally good about updating his guides and I'll try and get the new version incorporated into this addon.
4) Why does the stand-alone version look like TinyPad?
Because it's based on it (see credits below). It was the easiest way to get something up and running quickly. I may end up changing it to something less "editable", but some people seemed to like the editing ability. If you have Fubar, you can try that version for a different look.
5) Why does the guide stop at level 69?
That's as far as Azuarc has gotten. I will update the addon with Azuarc's updates as they come available. Note that squeaky wheels tend to get the most attention, so post feedback!
6) How much memory does this take?
I'm not 100% sure. I'm not an expert at performance optimization. I feel it's probably not much, but if it turns out to be significant, I will change to a "load-on-demand" model. Any info in this area would be appreciated.
7) Why isn't this an Ace addon?
I wanted to keep this as small as possible. Considering the simplicity of the mod, I didn't think it warranted all the overhead associated with Ace. However, if I find a decent Ace-based UI, I may go with it for ease of use.
8) I have Fubar, but I see it as a minimap button instead of a Fubar plugin.
Right-click the minimap button and you'll see a menu option called Attach to minimap. Uncheck that option and you should see it on your Fubar.
9) Why doesn't this have [waypoints, map integration, step-by-step instructions, an interactive list, etc.]?
This is not intended to be a way to mindlessly grind through the levels (don't get me wrong, there's a time for everything -- even mindless grinding!). This provides a casual, yet efficient way to level by completing quests. IMO, this makes for a more enjoyable experience than "do A, now do B, now do C", etc. YMMV, and there are other addons that take a different approach.

love it so far, but can you make it so that you can only edit text if you click a button to go into an edit mode or something-- i accidently erased part of the guide because i didnt know that you could modify text like that
oh and unlike what the descrip says the accidental edit stayed even when switching chapters and i even completly closed wow and it was still gone T_T okay ive been using this for a couple of nights now, and I like the layout of the addon A LOT-- but (and i know you didnt write the guide) the guide i find is not so good, its VERY vague as to what quests to pick up- often ill be out doing a quest it told me to do and it says to complete another quest in that area that it never told me to pick up in the first place. I would LOVE to have this exact addon but using Jame's guide from wow-pro.com -- i used that guide to get to 60 and it was very organized and easy to follow. So if possible, it would be amazing if you could add other people's guides (with their permission) into the add-on-- i know it would be more work but it would soooooo worth it.

As far as Titan Panel support, I don't know anything about writing a Titan Panel addon. If someone wants to take a shot at it, they're welcome to and I can incorporate it. Edit: Ok, I've figured this out -- turns out this was a bug introduced way back in November of last year and no one ever noticed it (or if they did, they didn't bother to tell me). It's a fairly easy fix but it has a chance to break a lot of stuff in the non-Fubar version, so I'm going to test it out tonight instead of just dry-coding it. Edit 2: This has been fixed and checked in. Brave souls can pull build 60617 off the SVN (http://files.wowace.com/AzuarcLevelGuide/AzuarcLevelGuide-r60617.zip) or you can wait a few days and I'll post a new version here once it checks out okay.

I've put a new beta out on the SVN (60617) that contains an attempted fix for the Fubar issue below (it's hard to tell since i've never experienced it) as well as adding Azuarc's latest chapter (Blade's Edge Mtns). If you're interested in checking it out, you can find it at http://files.wowace.com/sw-a.html.
My initial testing looks good so if I don't get any problems reported in the next few days I'll package it up and distribute it here as version 1.4.

Re: No Fubar response
The addon tries to see if you have Fubar and then load it if so. However, it looks like on some installations that doesn't work. I may have to go the route that LuckyCharms and some others did and just create a separate addon for Fubar that loads it up. I'll take a look tonight and see if I can create a workaround in the meantime. |

No Fubar response
Hi,
Nice mod. Clean, easy to use. The only issue I run into is that when I load up a toon using Fubar addons all I get is the Tinypad look. There is no Minimap button nor entry in the Fubar panels top or bottom. Nothing in Niagra either. I checked and I am using v1.31 and there is a MyMinimapButton.lua and yes it has data. Bugsac says there are no lua errors, and LoadIT shows it as an enabled and loaded addon. Any suggestions?

I just downloaded the mod and the TOC file is empty, making WoW call it "Incompatible."
I'll get the TOC from an earlier version, but wanted to let you know. UPDATE: Looks like it's a problem with the WoW UI Updater, actually. It zero-lengths all of the lua and toc files in your project. No clue WHY as it downloads other mods fine... but I'll just manually update this mod.
