As you can see, there are still a few sections which need to be converted to TourGuide style though. If you want to help contributing by working on a section, please check the following links:
Installation
Installing Externals
Three external files are needed to run this addon.
- TourGuide - The base of the addon.
- TomTom - Handles coordinates (It's that arrow which points you to where you need to go). If you have Cartographer, you don't need this, since Cartographer has it's own arrow.
- Lightheaded - Makes TomTom even better, make sure to install this addon or you won't always get a TomTom arrow to show you the way.
- WARNING: If you have QuestHelper installed, you should disable it, or at least disable the TomTom arrow option in Questhelper, or it will conflict with our addon and give you wrong directions.
If you are not familiar with the installation of addons, it can be done as follows:
For PC users:
- Download and unzip the addon files.
- Navigate to the World of Warcraft directory
- Windows XP: C:\\Program Files\World of Warcraft
- Windows Vista: C:\\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft
- Open the "Interface" folder, then the "Addons" folder inside it.
- Copy and paste the "TourGuide", "TomTom" and "Lightheaded" folders into the World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons directory.
For MAC users:
- Download and unzip the addon files.
- Go to Finder -> /Applications/World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons/
- Copy and paste the "TourGuide", "TomTom" and "Lightheaded" folders into the World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons directory.
You can check ingame if you've installed it correctly; when you go to the character selection screen, down the bottom there is a button labelled Addons. Click that, then scroll down and look for Lightheaded, TomTom and TourGuide (it's in alphabetical order). Make sure they're enabled.
Installing the WoW-Pro Guides: Horde
- Download the WoW-Pro_TourGuide_Horde and unzip it
- Copy and paste the "WoW-Pro_TourGuide_Horde" folder into the "World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons/" folder.
- Launch wow, and at the character selection screen click on the "Addons" button on the lower-left corner. Make sure that the following 3 addons are activated: TomTom, TourGuide, WoW-Pro Tourguide Horde and Lightheaded (Lightheaded A,B,C,D,etc as well).
- Once in game, click on the TourGuide bar (should be just under your minimap). This will open the "Guides" page. Scroll down to the bottom of the list and you'll see the WoW-Pro Guides:
Select the guide you want and there you go!
Even though it's an in-game addon, there are still a few things you need to know, and you'll find them in each section of the guide below. They will contain information such as shopping lists, general information about the zone and other things which can't be included in the addon for practical reasons. The addon will tell you to alt-tab back to the guide page whenever necessary, this will happen very rarely though, don't worry, 99% of the guide is taken care of by the addon in-game!

Add-On Problems with Horde pack
I've been using the web version of Jame's leveling guide for a little while and thought it was really excellent. I decided, a day or two ago, to try using the add-on that goes with it. So I installed TourGuide, TomTom, Lightheaded and, finally, WoW-Pro_TourGude_Horde. It worked really well for a while...I was already on Hellfire Peninsula, so I used the 60-65 guide and checked off what I had already done.
It worked great for the remainder of Hellfire Peninsula and through Zangermarsh. About the time that I started Terokkar Forest, though, problems began arising. It started with the quests I accepted in Cernarion Thicket. I accepted the quests (like "A Strange Energy" and "Clues In The Thicket") that the guide said to accept...but in the quest offer screen (where you can accept or decline it) TourGuide threw up messages saying "This quest is not in your current guide." Shortly thereafter, around when I reached Stonebreaker Hold, every time a quest offer screen came up, I would get a pop-up giving me 6-7 pages of LUA errors and the TourGuide bar disappeared entirely. After that, any time I logged in, I'd immediately get that pop-up of 6-7 pages of LUA errors just upon entering the world.
I tried uninstalling and re-installing everything, but that didn't make a difference. If I disable WoW-Pro_TourGude_Horde, then everything else (TourGuide, TomTom, Lightheaded) works fine. If I re-enable the WoW-Pro guide, the error messages come back and TourGuide isn't able to be used.
I'd really appreciate some idea of what's wrong and how to fix it, since I love Jame's guide and I like the directional arrow. I'm a bit bad with intuitively knowing which direction to go by coordinates, without wandering around a little to see which direction makes the coordinates go the right direction. So, the arrow is very useful for keeping me on point.
Any help would be great, thanks!

try renaming your wtf folder
try renaming your wtf folder wtfold and try again, but this time only using the addons used for the guide
if you get another error send it to me in a pm
Member
Great advice
That worked perfectly, thank you! I'll remember that...to reset data/settings, rename the wtf folder.
Addon Problems

Check the FAQ page and see
Check the FAQ page and see if you can find your answers there. Unfortunately I'm really not sure how these addons would act on an out of date server, but that may indeed be the problem. They were designed to run on the most recent version of WoW.
Testing Grizzly Hills
Lines 11, 25, 34: Quest name should be The Flamebinders' Secrets. The last s in secrets is missing causing it to say quest not listed.
Line 78: The vendor's coordinates are (22.63,66.08). It's the guy you got the quest Supplemental Income from.
Line 79: The vendor's coordinates are (23.37,63.10).
Line 81: Kreena needs to be changed to Krenna. It's spelled right on line 84 for the turn in.
Line 91: Quest Turn In Filling the Cages: The arrow points to the Ghostlands near ZA. Lightheaded doesn't have the coordinates for Samir in Grizzly Hills, only in the Ghostlands, guess that's the problem.
Line 97: Step does not auto-complete. You have to buy 5 Imbued Vials, but you only need 1, so I guess |L|18256 5| should be |L|18256 1|. Also, the coordinates for the vendor are (16.00,47.78).
Line 103: Quest Accept Scourgekabob: The arrow points to the Ghostlands near ZA. Lightheaded doesn't have the coordinates for Prigmon in Grizzly Hills, only in the Ghostlands, guess that's the problem.
Line 107: Quest Accept Shimmercap Stew: Same problem as line 103.
Quest Attack on Silverbrook: No Accept step. Can be placed on Line 131.
Line 132: Quest Complete Attack on Silverbrook: The coordinates are wrong. (26,13) sends you to Zul'Drak. The correct coordinates are (24,34).
Line 136: Says quest not in guide. Do not capitalize the O in on. Fix in lines 145 and 150 also.
Line 137: Says quest not in guide. Needs to say Overwhelmed!. Missing exclamation point. Fix in lines 143 and 149 also.
Line 173: Step does not auto-complete.
Line 174: Step does not auto-complete.
Line 236: Needs to have |U|35734| in the step for the Boulder.
Line 275: Quest Fate and Coincidence: The arrow doesn't point to the right place. I don't know what to do about it because Wowhead has three locations for her and they all show up as waypoints on the map, (57.50,41.00) for Fate and Coincidence, (64.90,43.40) for the quest A Sister's Pledge, and (87.20,25.70) for the quest Hour of the Worg. For the last two she shows up only when the quests are complete, so the arrow doesn't matter, but it is kind of necessary for Fate and Coincidence. Any ideas?
Line 320: Needs to have |U|35797| in the step for Drakuru's Elixir.
Line 355: The item ID is right, but the icon is for the Drakkari Spirit Dust and it doesn't work.
One more down. I hope these notes are helping. I'm going to start on a Zul'Drak guide, I should be done in a couple of days.
Grizzly Hills more stuff
Couldn't edit my last comment, but I found some more.
Quest Ursoc the Bear God: There is no turn in step. Line 296 is the complete step, after that you are on the east side of GH, so it probably needs to be turned in immediately or at the very end.
Quest Hour of the Worg: There is no turn in step. It can be put on line 338.

Talk about awesome feedback.
Talk about awesome feedback. You kick butt, Scoot. We are planning a big addon release this weekend, I'll try and get all this in there. Thanks a ton!
Did you see the others
Did you see the others below? Just trying to help out where I can.
Cartographer v. TomTom and LightHeaded?
Hi Jiyambi (and Jame by extension!) and WoW-Pro commenters,
If you use Cartographer instead of TomTom and LightHeaded, will Cartographer just replace the functionality of using those two? It sounded like from the description that LightHeaded makes TomTom work better but Cartographer (though bulkier) will accomplish the same purpose with the Add On guide. Can you please let me know?
I'd prefer to get Cartographer because it seems cleaner than installing both TomTom and LightHeaded, but I'll do whatever you recommend. Thanks!
Moderator
Hmm, looks like we need to
Hmm, looks like we need to change the wording up there.
Tomtom provides an arrow that points your way based on Coordinates.
Cartographer also provides an arrow, but it is as a side function to it's main pupose - providing maps of every area in WoW, including instances.
You can use either TomTom or Cartographer, though there seem to be a few minor cases where TomTom has errors and Cartographer does not (I don't know what causes these and they seem to be minimal).
Lightheaded is something you need either way. It is what tells whichever arrow addon you use where the NPCs are that offer and accept quests.
I personally use Cartographer and Lightheaded. Cartographer's arrow is nicer, in my opinion, and I also use it for it's main function. For those who like more minimalist addows, Tomtom is better.
Thanks so much, Jiyambi! I
Thanks so much, Jiyambi!
I also have QuestHelper, but I think disabling it would probably make it the cleanest interface to really utilize the AddOn/Guide. Thank you so much again!
Moderator
Heh, no problem, glad to
Heh, no problem, glad to help. I use Questhelper as well. I just disable it in-game when I'm using the guide, but if I want to do a group quest or something with friends it's nice to be able to use it with one click. And I use it for dailies on my main.
Testing Dragonblight
Line 103: Quest Attack by Air!: Got the message that it wasn't in the guide. I don't know why, the code looks right. Any ideas? (line 103)
Line 284: Quest On Ruby Wings: In the note it would help if it said to use the dragon to kill the giant,Thassi. (line 284)
Line 289: In order for this step to auto-complete, it needs to read |QO|Weakened Reanimated Frost Wyrm slain: 1/1| instead of |QO|Reanimated Frost Wyrm slain: 1/1|.
Line 318: A mention that she's in New Hearthglen would be helpful.
Line 350: Include in the note,The Onslaught Knights can see through your disguise.
Lines 369-372: Steps do not auto-complete. I believe the |QO| needs to be changed from "[NPC Name] denouncement and death" to "[NPC Name] denouncement & death". At least that's the way it's written in the quest log.
That's all I found in this one. Off to Grizzly Hills next.
Testing Borean Tundra
Quest The Power of the Elements: Accept step is missing. (Needs to be somewhere between lines 202-214)
Line 252: Where it's supposed to say |QID| it says |QOD|. The step auto completes OK, but when you turn in the quest the guide goes back to this step. (or at least it did for me)
That's all I found in this one.
The only other suggestion I have is to put the Taunka'le Village quests at the end (since the next place you are sent to is Dragonblight), but it's really not that big of a deal.
Howling Fjord (Horde) errors
I found these minor errors in the Howling Fjord guide for the Horde.
Quest called Adding Insult to Injury in the guide is actually called Adding Injury to Insult, so it says the quest is not in the guide. (around line 90)
I had to turn in the quest Making the Horn before I could pick up Keeping Watch on the Interlopers, March of the Giants, Mimicking Nature's Call, The Frozen Glade and The Book of Runes. You could also turn in Suppressing the Elements before any of that. (around line 110)
I suggest this order:
T Suppressing the Elements |QID|11311| |N|Back at Camp Winterhoof.| |T|
T Making the Horn |QID|11275| |T|
A Mimicking Nature's Call |QID|11281| |T|
A The Frozen Glade |T|N|(49.3,12.0)|
A The Book of Runes |QID|11350| |T|
A Keeping Watch on the Interlopers |QID|11297| |T|
A March of the Giants |QID|11365| |T|
(All text copied from the guide.)
Quest The Book of Runes: The waypoint coordinates are incorrect. Should be (68,24) instead of (48,24). It is a general area, but the current one points the opposite direction. (around line 125)
Quest Against Nifflevar: The QID is wrong on all steps. It should be 12482 instead of 12484. (Around line 345)
That's all I found. Working my way through the others. Will post anything else I find.

Un'Goro report
The Evergreen Pouch does not have a long cooldown anymore, its just like 3 seconds or so. You may want to change the guide so people make all tha casts right after getting que Packet of Tharlendris Seeds. And maybe spare a trip to Thunderbluff.
Other thing I noticed, when visiting "The Eastern Pylon", i also did the last part of the Lar'Korwi quest chain that takes place right there. Here is the quest link: The Bait for Lar'korwi

Feralas Report
Hi again, reporting recent findings
The first two are patch chages affecting quests that I don´t see reflected in the add-on, making blind add-on folowers like me to end up making long extra miles to correct things
.
Testing the Vessel
This one used to be about owlbests in the Hinterlands, but now is about ironfur bears and longtooth runners in Feralas. Here's the quest.
A strange Request
This one used to end in Orgrimmar but now ends at the Lariss Pavilion. Here's the quest.
This one, Whiskey Slim's Lost Grog I'm pretty sure the add-on didn´t asked me to get it while at Booty Bay.
That`s all for now
Rappa.

Absolutely excellent post,
Absolutely excellent post, thanks for being so clear and concise in your feedback. I definitely need to update this section, I've been a bit lax about addon updates of late and for that I apologize, got lots of stuff going on. Thanks again for the feedback
Well thank you for trying to
Well thank you for trying to help me. I think I'm just gonnna go with another in game guide somewhere else because I don't have the patience to reinstall wow. Do you have any suggestions? I'm leaning toward Zygor's guides although a little pricy, they seem to have the best write ups. Thanks again for the help.
Moderator
Honestly I'd just recommend
Honestly I'd just recommend using the paper version of Jame's guide combined with questhelper. From what I've heard, the paid guides are NOT worth the money. But that's just me, I don't know much about the different paid guides out there since I've never had a reason to use em.
HELP
I havent been able to get my add on working since the patch. It just keeps saying that I have a LUA error when I log in. Can anybody help?
I can't seem to get the four
I can't seem to get the four add ons. They don't even appeaar on the add on screen when I load the game. I extracted the files, is that the same as unzipping them? I even deleted and downloaded them again. Still nothing. Any help will be appreciated
Moderator
Sounds like you must be
Sounds like you must be putting them in the wrong folder, have you manually installed addons before? What operating system are you using, the folder differs based on that. Oh, and yeah unzipping and extracting are the same, so that shouldn't be the problem.
Give me a few more details and I'll do my best to help ya out. Mostly I think it's a folder issue, check the top of the page for the three common folder placements. Also, check the addon FAQ, your question appears there as well: Why aren't my addons showing up on the addon selection screen?
oh yea i use vista by the way
oh yea i use vista by the way
Moderator
Okay, well it sounds like
Okay, well it sounds like you already know for sure where your addons folder is since you can successfully download and use bartender. I've had a lot of Vista users get confused before since Vista puts the WoW folder in a completely different place than XP does.
I would check one more time and make sure you're putting them in Public/Games/World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons. Because, unfortunately, if this isn't the problem, you may be falling victim to the nefarious "Vista issue" - I've had many reports of Vista and new addons just not working for no apparent reason. I had a good friend and guildie with this issue. For him, it went away when he reinstalled WoW, but there's no guarantee that will work either.
I hate telling people that there's really nothing else I know to check, but this is one of those times
Ok...I tried getting another
Ok...I tried getting another addon (bartender) and it appeared on my addon screen. So I've been downloading the addons correctly. I went to the FAQ page and it said something about a bug in the addons I've been trying to download. Do you think that is the issue?
Out of Date
When i downloaded all the files they worked, without the WoW-Pro Guide. It Said Out of Date. How can i fix it?
Moderator
It's not actually out of
It's not actually out of date, I just haven't fixed it yet to list as up to date on the addon screen. Simply click "load out of date addons" in the corner of the addon selection screen.
Thanks for this great guide.
I've been using these guides for a while, and they are some of the most efficient guides I've used. I've bought two guides before i found these and nothing matches the quality of these. Truly outstanding work.
Now, if only i could settle on a class!
I'm working on a Storm Peaks
I'm working on a Storm Peaks guide. I would like some advice on how to put into the addon format. I've got the guide Jahwo's Addon: Contributing. Will this get me close? And where can I post it when I'm done so people can test it? I love the guides here and I hope I can contribute. Thanks.

Jahwo's adddon is currently NOT being used or distributed on this site. Instead, we are using Tour Guide. If you go to the addon page (you can find that towards the top of the main page of the site), there is a "How to Contribute" link. That's the page you want. For convenience, here is the link.

Listen, first off, these guides are amazing, I can imagine all the hard work it took, so thanks.
So I've been using the guides on my alliance toons for a while and they are great, however I rolled Horde now and I'm 30 and about to start Jame's guides but I can't find the WoW-Pro guides. I have Lightheaded, Tomtom, Tourguide, everything. Could use some help please...

The Horde and Alliance
The Horde and Alliance guides are separate addons, so I suspect you just haven't downloaded the Horde version yet. You should be able to find it on this page. If that isn't the case, let me know and we can try more troubleshooting.
And glad you are enjoying the guides!

Justin wondering if...
I was just wondering if the guides used in the addon are as up to date as the ones on the website?

Yes, since Jame hasn't been
Yes, since Jame hasn't been updating the guides recently due to RL business. If you feel that the addon is not matching the website guides, please make sure you are using the correct guides - all of ours say "WoW-Pro" in the title.
Additionally, be aware that there were some pretty significant changes to a few old quests recently, so there are some out of date bits in both the "paper" and addon versions of the guide.

[36] Wharfmaster Dizzywig
Hi again, just reporting that when the add-on is telling you to get the quests in the Mirage Raceway, when you get to the last one of them: [36] Wharfmaster Dizzywig, the TomTom arrow points to some apothecary 4000 yds away instead of pointing at Kravel Koalbeard.
No big deal, just letting you know.

Two quests of the same name,
Two quests of the same name, one from that apothecary, one from Kravel. I'll look into it.
Warlock
So I'm currently using this guide to level a warlock and before I had started the guide I already went out and did the quest to get my succubus. When I started up the guide and was going through the quests I noticed it still has me going to places to complete the quest. Is this because it was made for and Orc and I'm leveling a blood elf? And, is there any way to skip this quests for locks only?
Moderator
You are exactly right, the
You are exactly right, the guide automatically takes you through the succubus quests, but they are the ones for orcs. You can just check off the steps to skip through them.
Thanks!
Thanks much... I'm also guessing that a the quests that are highlighted in green are the class quests? Keep up the good work with the addon!
