how do i get mods on amac and on my accont
 

so can you help

whats amac? More info would help.

Wild shots in the dark here:

amac = a Macintosh?
accont = your account?

If I'm right... we still don't have a clue what you are asking...

I think i know whats going on here. Macs dont natively work with zip format since thats what most mods are packaged in. What your looking for is an extraction program called Stuffit expander availble from macupdate.com. to my knowledge its free software and will allow you to properly extract .zip formats on your mac without corrupting the files.

Then you just place them in the addons folder as normal and your good to go.

Had a guildmate with this same issue about 3 months ago. Being the geek that i am i looked in to it. After visiting several sites it seemed the overwheling issue was the extraction process. Apparently Stuffit expander is the best way to get it done.

xxx :) I have been playing on a Mac for a long time and have had little difficulties with any of the mods. If you are asking how to set up Adds on a mac and are refering to cpmpilations, simply follow the directions by the creators, they have always worked for me. I have used Ace, Mazzle and Mirage and they worked well with minimal need for modifications.

That would make sense. I have heard of lots of confusion over file compression on Macs as well. Be aware that there are free and retail versions of StuffIt. I don't miss troubleshooting Macs in any way, shape, or form... *shudder* :confused:

hey thats nice bout do i but it in the addons folder that i allways had or do i but then in the in that 1 mode

i work part time with the geek squad from best buy so i had to take a crash course on macs. i mostly handle file issues so ive come across this alot. lol Having looked in to it for a guild mate turned out to be a decent idea since it would seem :D

And so far as i heard Fizz is right on the money. I havent really heard of any truly 'Mac specific" issues with mods. All the research i was able to dig up was purely the extraction process. Apparently some of the free ware ones floatng around out there are just hacks of PC software so they dont do it properly and end up messing up the files in the process.


To get them on your account you extract them to the addons folder. The post on mage pvp you tried to hijack (evil grin) has a link from Seerah on where the files go and so on.

That's true. All Mac users I have ever encountered use and swear by StuffIt. Geek Squad... lol.

Are you asking how to download mods? How to download StuffIt? How to extract them or where to put them? Asking how to enable them in-game? We need more details, so we can help. Perhaps read the FAQ? It's on the left-hand side on the main page...

but do i put ti in the addons folder that i allways had owr the ather 1 in the 1 mod so then what

This tells you all you need to know. Its the same link i referenced in the last post. We got past the technical issue and now its down to the basics. Im of the teach a man to fish philosophy so feel free to browse that thread and it should answer all your questions.

Yeah. Read the FAQ (ie. RTFM ) and then if your still stuck ask questions. Seerah made a good point. You're listed as an author with no mods, that doesn't know how to extract a file, and has trolled for the same help repeatedly. You have to help yourself first.

Actually, mac has its own zipper called something (which i dont remember) which comes buildt in from 10.3.9 and up, in other words it came at the end of the powerbook era :)
As for stuffit, well it sucks. I prefer to check up on free 3rd party options for zip/rar files and there are even some good freeware ones. sadly i haven't been using my mac in over a year now so i don't remember what they where called :/

I ama proud MAC user and I have not had to download any special software to unzip anything. If it is a rar file then you will have to use unison or some similar software to unrar, for lack of a better term, stuffit expander works sometimes for me sometimes not. The big question is what os is he using. If it is os 9 than that is a whole other ballgame, but I don't think warcraft works for that operating system anyway.

As far as troubleshooting a MAC, it is a rare thing and in my case is always a very simple fix.

how do get them on my accont

stop charging so much for something so easy.

Gentlemen, I think we have a troll on our hands.... Gemini has noticed.

Send in a customer comment to the website and so on. I dont make the rules. Its all literally handed down from the corporate office. Complaining to me wont do much lol

Dude- your typing hurts my eyes. Do some research. Here are some instructions taken from the Curse website:



Sounds to me that they downloaded a mod that already has a directory structure, and already has an ADDONS folder inside the ZIP file.

Take the FILES and DIRECTORIES inside of the UI mods ADDONS folder and deposite them in the ADDONS folder in your Warcraft installation directory.

Good luck!
