Mazzle 1.1 Fresh/New Installation after patch 2.2

Fresh Mazzle 1.1 installation after the 2.2 patch. This is the process that I took to fix the mazzification process on a new installation. There are likely shorter routes that you could take on some of the steps, but I took them to try to ensure that there would not be any issues.

1.) Either download or find where you saved the Mazzle1.1.zip file for the 1.1 release and unpack it. Follow the second step of the original installation instructions.
a) Go to your World of Warcraft directory (usually C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft)
b) Rename the "Interface" folder to "Interface Old"
c) Rename the "WTF" folder to "WTF Old"
d) Rename the "Fonts" folder to "Fonts Old"
2.) Login to World of Warcraft and onto your character. Press the escape button to bring up the main menu and choose the Video settings button. Change the video resolution to the appropriate one for your display. Save that configuration and exit the game.

3.) Now follow step 3 from the original installation instructions.
----------------------------------
Step 3: Copy over the new UI files
----------------------------------

a) Drag "Interface" folder from the MazzleUI directory in step 1 to your World of Warcraft directory.
b) If you are on a PC: Drag the "Font" folder from the MazzleUI directory in step 1 to your World of Warcraft directory. Note: It'll ask you whether you want to overwrite files. Respond with "Yes to All".
- VERY IMPORTANT: If you are on a Mac and already have a font folder, make sure to move each file from the font folder in the directory you made in step 1 to the font folder in your World of Warcraft directory. Do not just drop the entire font folder in, since the default behavior on a Mac is to replace the entire contents of the directory, i.e. delete your old files.
Now open the file C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\MazzleUI\CustomLibs\ContextMenu.lua with wordpad. Press Ctrl-H to bring up the replace dialog. Enter the text "self:assert" into the find text input and the text "assert" into the replace text input. Save and close the file.

Now open the file C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Mazzifier\Mazzifier_Configs.lua with wordpad. Press Ctrl-F to open the Find dialog. Enter the text "EnableError" into the find text input and press Enter. You will see the line SetCVar("EnableErrorSpeech","0") add 2 dashes -- to the front of that line giving you -- SetCVar("EnableErrorSpeech","0"). Now save and close that file.

Now we will use the Wow Ace Updater to update the mods to their current state. If you do not have WAU yet, you can download it from http://www.wowace.com/wiki/WowAceUpdater. Follow the instructions to install with Internet Explorer for the best/easiest results. Then run WowAceUpdater from your Start->All Programs->WowAce.com menu. Click on File and choose "Update all Installed AddOns", it will run for a moment while it downloads the newest packages. Once that is finished I select the following packages:
  • Cartographer
  • oRA2
  • Prat
  • Cartographer_(Fishing through Vendors)
  • Everything that starts with "FuBar"
  • WitchHunt

Then click on File and choose "Install/Update all Marked Addons With Externals". This will run for another moment and then stop. You can close WAU at this point.

4.) Now we will do step 4 of the original installation instructions. With the exception of item d since we did that before installing MazzleUI. You can do it again if you want, and you should be able to wait until this point to change the video settings. I chose to do it before to help to ensure that step was out of the way and wouldn't cause a problem getting MazzleUI setup.

----------------------------------
Step 4: Get WoW ready
----------------------------------
a) Log in and choose your realm
b) VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure "LOAD OUT OF DATE ADDONS" IS CHECKED
c) Log in. Wait until a couple of the windows disappear and the MazzleUI installer window appears and greets you. (should take no longer than 30 seconds or so)
d) Hit the escape key and select "Video Options". Set your desired resolution and any other video settings you'd like to modify now.

Warning: If for any reason you decide to go back to your old interface later, you will lose your button layout when performing the following Mazzifying step. The only way to avoid this is to (a) unmark the 'Place Actions in Buttons' option in the Mazzifier or (b) use the included add-on SimpleActionSets to save your current buttons before Mazzifying. If this is a serious concern for you, I suggest the latter option so you can fully explore the button options that MazzleUI provides. There are instructions on how to use SimpleActionSets at the end of this document.
5.) The following problems occured when I first performed the mazzification process:
  • The ItemRack bar was out of place
  • The TrinketMenu was out of place
  • The Bongos bars were not created and filled properly
  • The menu icons and bag slots were showing at the bottom righthand side of the screen
  • The ContextMenu was not working properly

a) Press Enter and type the command "/itemrack" to get rid of the itemrack bar.
b) Press Enter and type the command "/trinketmenu" to make sure that the trinket menu slots are showing. You can now click and drag on the edges of the slots to the place that it's supposed to be above the combat log. You may need to run the command "/trinketmenu unlock" to be able to move it, if you do you'll want to run the command "/trinketmenu lock" to lock it in place once you are finished with it.
c) Then run the command "/mazzify" again and only choose for it to update only the Button layout and Keybindings. That fixes the Bongos bars and the menu icons and bag slots placement.
The ContextMenu is still an issue, but this process should be able to get you a new start with MazzleUI.
