Prerequisites

  • You must have fewer than 10 custom channels configured in-game. You can see a listing of the custom channels by opening the "Social" window (bound to the "O" key) and selecting the "Chat" tab.
  • You must be able to edit the Guild Information tab to configure GreenWall for the co-guild members.

Installation

  1. Exit "World of Warcraft" completely

  2. Download the mod you want to install

  • Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
  • Save the .zip file to this folder.
  • If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".

  1. Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'

    • Windows
      • Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
      • WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
    • Mac OS X
      • StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.

  2. Verify your WoW Installation Path. That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.

  3. Move to the Addon folder

    • Open your World of Warcraft folder. The default is C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\.
    • Go into the "Interface" folder.
    • Go into the "AddOns" folder.
    • In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
    • The "My Mods" folder should have the "GreenWall" folder in it.
    • Move the "GreenWall" folder into the "AddOns" folder.

  4. Start World of Warcraft.

  5. Make sure AddOns are installed.

    • Log in.
    • At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
      • If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
      • If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly.

Usage

All commands must be prefixed with /greenwall or /gw.

As an example, the configuration option for co-guild tagging is tag. To turn it on, you would enter one of the following commands. In the command descriptions, optional arguments are in square brackets and alternatives are separated by the pipe character.

/greenwall tag on
/gw tag on

To view the current configuration, you would enter one of the following.

/greenwall tag
/gw tag

Configuration

You don't need to configure GreenWall at all to use it.

Most of the configuration is done by the guild officers, it's a big mess of gibberish in the guild information tab in game. But you can change certain aspects of its behavior to suit your tastes.
