installation on Mac

faeriae · 08-05-09, 07:38 AM

i download nUI and pasted it on the addon folder for wow but it still doesn't work. so basically, is nUI able to work on mac OS? And if so, how do i go about doing it?

Thanks.

I know for sure it does work on a Mac... but I'll be darned if I have a clue how to correctly install mods on a Mac... so, hopefully, one of the other nUI users who is a Mac user will step up.

I assume the download and extraction techniques are the same on PC and Mac so just to double check.

You downloaded the file.
You extracted the file.
You opened the new folder and copied the contents into the Addon folder ?

EG.

Download nUI_5.05.00.zip
Extract to nUI_5.05.00 folder
Open nUI_5.05.00 folder to show nUI folder
Copy nUI Folder to Addon Folder

yup. i downloaded it, extracted it, copied all the files into the addon folder but it doesn't work.

And it shows in the addon list on the character selection screen ?

nope. it doesn't. nothing came out.

Hmm, very strange.

You should see the following folder structure.

World of Warcraft \ Interface \ AddOns \ nUI \ nUI.toc

Is that what you are seeing or are you seeing a different nUI folder ?

Perhaps a quick search to see where nUI.toc is will help pinpoint the problem.

well, the nui.toc is in the addon folder.. is it correct?

Xrystal · 08-06-09, 11:30 PM

In the addons folder or in the addons/nui folder ?

Can you please post the exact path to the nUI.toc file so we can see exactly where you have it installed?

It should be Macintosh HD\Applications\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Nui .

And it works fine on my Mac.

You might try checking your addons folder and trash the nui folder and redownload and extract it. Do this completely exited out of Wow. By defualt NUI should be enabled the next time you login. Also you might want to check to see if you have the most current build. And/or check load out of date add-ons. My guess is that you have the old build before patch 3.2 and WoW is not loading out of date add ons.

Hope this helps
