Pick for 10/19: New addons for 3.0

[Seerah]

Okay, so the 3.0 patch hit and you either frantically started updating your addons, fighting with server traffic, or you hung back for a couple of days like me and got everything in due time. There are probably still some mods you haven't found updates/replacements for, and you may be wanting some new addons for the additions to the game. For the first, check out our Survival Guide if you haven't yet or post on the forums with your questions. For the latter, here are some addons that deal with new features in WoW 3.0.



Calendar Export:

While this doesn't do anything for you in-game, it does allow something very nice for the new in-game calendar. This addon saves your guild's calendar data in a format which allows it to be exported to other calendars outside of the game. Using Google's Calendar Converter (linked on addon's download page), you can convert this addon's saved variables to iCalendar format. Thus allowing your guild to view it on Google Calendar online, in Rainlendar on your desktop, in Microsoft Outlook, and any other application that uses the iCalendar format. If you use Google Calendar, you can then embed the calendar on your guild's website.

Reading through the comments again, it looks like there have been some API changes that have changed how some data is retrieved from the calendar. The author is working to address this, so if this mod doesn't work 100% for you, keep an eye on it (you can add it to your favorites to see when it gets updated). You can read more and try it out yourself here.



Inscription Trainer Class Icons:



This addon adds class icons in front of their respective glyphs in the Inscription Trainer window. Helpful if you are trying to pick and choose what you learn to save money, or if you want to be able to see when you can pick up that next mage glyph.

Read more about it on the download page.



PetList+:



Wish to see at a glance which mount/pet is which without inspecting icons for color differences or hovering over them to read tooltips? This addon changes the window to show names of all mounts/pets in an alphabetical, scrollable list, as well as displaying the model of the pet/mount chosen (it's even zoomable with the mouse-wheel). A new feature is that it adds a button to the pets tab to randomly summon a pet for you.

You can get it here.



UrbanAchiever:



This addon is a replacement for the new achievements window. It allows you to search through achievements, statistics, and criteria, and also allows you to sort achievements in various ways. The different window design allows you to see more information at once, and you can even see how far along other people are at their achievements.
