Unable to load Add-ons

[fobnicat]

Hey folks, I just reinstalled WoW and I d/led the same mods that i used to use, but for some reason I am unable to get them to work. I unzipped the files, moved the correct folders to my C:\Program Files(86x)\World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons Folder. I logged into the game and at character select there was no "manage addons" button. I have loaded and reloaded the game and cannot get it to work. The mods I am using include:

AtlasLoot Enchanced
Nauticus
SimpleCoor
XBar
Bartender
Lootfilter

Any ideas?

Can you see the mods listed at the character selection screen? If not, I suspect that you donn't have the right files in the right folders. Here's how the directory structure should look... c:\program files\world of warcraft\interface\addons\mod\{should see a bunch of files here including .lua and .toc files}. Of course, substitute the "mod" folder for whatever the name of your mod is in this example.

That is the way it is set up. I have read the other posts with similar problems and can't seem to find anything that works.

filepath for simplecoor
C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\SimpleCoords

if I had the folder hierarchy screwed up it would be

C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\SimpleCoords_102\SimpleCoords

Almost forgot to answer your first question:
When at character select, I have no button in the bottom left to Manage AddOns.

That's frequently a major clue right there. Check to make sure you don't have two installations of WoW on your computer now. It's entirely possible that you may, and you are installing the mods in the "wrong" one now.

Just checked.. no second install...

Any other ideas???

Are you running 64-bit windows? If so, is that the default name for your folder (Program Files (x86))?

I have seen programs have seizures over special characters in file or folder names. Depending on how strict the program is, is whether parenthesis are considered special or not. Don't know if WoW is prone to this or if it even applies.

yeh i'm running 64bit, but I am an idiot.. When I checked for a second install I checked within the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders... What I didnt realized was that the second install (and the correct one) had the path name of
C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns
instead of
C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns

Thanks for all your help folks...

LOL. Looks a bit messy, but if it works and you're happy with it: grats.
