Addons not showing in the Addons-tab - what to do?

[CHIPTHECHIPMUNK 0]

Hi guys.

 

Sorry if people have asked this before. I've downloaded the client and everything works. Except for the addons.

I've picked up a few (Bongos, Questie, OmniCC, Gatherer, EnemyCastBar and also Bartender as I couldn't get Bongos to work), but after installing them only OmniCC and Gatherer shows up on the list in the Addons Tab. I've ticked the Load Out of Date Addons, but obviously that doesn't do any magic (duh).

 

Is there a quick fix to this? Anything extra I need to extract from the respective addon folders or something I need to rename? The addons were primarily downloaded from addons.us.to but I also tried downloading the newest Questie from Github - no difference, it still doesn't show.

I'm running a Mac at this point, not sure that would have anything to do with it, but it's worth handing you that info :-)

 

Can anyone shine some light on this?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Chip

If downloading from Github make sure to remove the "-master" trailing in the folder name.

Had same problem until I figured out this.

Chip, could you possibly post a screenshot of your AddOns folder?  It might help the rest of us figure out the issue.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the responses so far, they might actually prove helpful.

I've linked two images of my AddOns-folder, in which the directory is Desktop/WorldofWarcraft1.12.1/Interface/AddOns - the first one is of the folder itself and the second is an example of the subfolder Bongos.

After reading ThreeNill's post, I suspect that the reason why only Gatherer and OmniCC work is because there are no extensions on the folder names unlike every single one of the other addons that do not work - would removing these extensions help? Or should I simply extract the folders one step further, so that all the subfolders and files in i.e. Bongos_v6.10.30 are located directly into the Interface/AddOns-directory?

 

My apologies for asking blindly without checking myself, but I'm currently boarding a domestic flight and am unable to go online at this point.

 

Thanks for the help so far!

By the way, your name rings a bell and I actually think I threw DoT's in your party when we slaughtered murlocs last night. I gave your teeny, tiny gnome a pair of epic legs ;-)

Inside those folders I bet there's a folder without the version number. Put those right in the addons folder instead.

Odd, they show up on mine. Oh well. Does these work?

Wasn't me, Chip, but thank you for helping someone out regardless.   :-)

I think TheDruidCode got it right.  For example, if you open up the Bongos_v6.10.30 folder you have all the subfolders inside of it (Bongos, Bongos_ActionBar, etc).  These are the actual mod folders, and they need to be moved to the main AddOns directory (after which you can delete the Bongos_v6.10.30 folder because it will be empty).  I suspect your Cartographer, CEnemyCastBar_Natur, and Questie mods will need to be fixed the same way.

Worked like a charm - thank you very much!

 

Have a great weekend once you get that far.
