Installation
- Download the latest version of the Addon: WoW-Pro Addon (v0643)
- Unzip the package
- Copy the folder WoWPro to your Addons folder. (\World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons)
How to use it
- Before you start with the guides you should bind a key to the “Next Step” function. You can do that by going into the Key Bindings-Menu (press ESC –> Key Bindings) and scroll down to the bottom.There you should find a Option called “JamesAddon Next Step“. Bind a key to it you can easily reach, because you’ll use it a lot.
- To open a guide click on the button. The WoW-Interface menu will open. There you can choose a guide from the categories “Alliance“, “Horde“, “Both” and “Other“
- In the options menu you can also change the transparency of the frame. Just drag the Transparency-slider to the right for more transparency.
- If you want to go to an other step you can enter the step-number in the edit box at the bottom and press enter.
- Many steps have a coordinate you have to go to. The arrow at the topleft circle shows you where to go. If it shows to the top and becomes golden you’re on the right way.
- Additionally you can see the distance to the actual target in the progressbar next to the arrow.
If you reached the coordinate the arrow will change to this: - You can toggle the window wit the slash-commands /jamesaddon or /ja
- You can change the height by dragging the top or bottom of the textarea. The area where you can drag will change red if you move your mouse over it, like that:
Now you’re ready to go! Choose your guide and start leveling.
Include new Guides
If you downloaded a single guide from the list below, or got it from wherever else you should have a .lua file.
Put this file into the Guides-folder in the Addon-folder. The full path is:
World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\WoWPro\Guides
Now you have to register that guide in the “table of contents“. Just open the “Guides.xml” file with a text-editor of your choice.
There you have to add a line between the < Ui > and < /Ui > tags:
<script file="theguide.lua"/>
Where theguide.lua is the filename of the guide you want to add.
Single guides
- Jame’s Horde Leveling Guide – Dragonblight
- Jame’s Horde Leveling Guide – Grizzly Hills
- Maw’s Human Leveling Guide 1-12
- Zernij’s Durotar Leveling Guide 1-12

Contribute
If you want to contribute by rewriting one of Jame’s guides for the addon, please read this:
I would like to recommendI would like to recommend every one get IZArc. It’s an archive program the can read and extract rar, zip, 7zip and pretty much every other type of archive that is currently in use.
I think I’ll upload it as aI think I’ll upload it as a .zip for future updates. I just thought .rar is known well enough by now 😉 and I think it doesn’t matter if its 48kb or 49kb 🙂
???The download comes up as an Adobe Acrobat file?
Do a google search for WinRAR if you have Windows machine. That’s what you need to open the file with. It’s similar to WinZIP, but different enough that WinZIP doesn’t work. If you’re on a Mac, you’ll have to google .rar files for Mac’s.

comes up as adobe file?it comes up as an adobe file.
We’ll keep on updating themWe’ll keep on updating them regularly until they reach perfection.
All you’ll have to do is download the latest version and put it in your wow folder, just like every other addon.
great so farI created a human and a troll to try the guides and the add-on out. They’re very well done and are working very well. I wanted to know if your going to somehow automatically update things in the future or if I’m going to have to re-download everything once it’s been updated. I can’t wait until the add-on is complete.
more guides?I love this addon more then the other cause i cant get tour guides to work with james guides, are more guides gonna be addon to this addon, if so where can i find the updates?
thanks
Thanks fixed the “….”sThanks 🙂 fixed the “….”s again and changed the name on the page, too.
Thank you, I downloaded yourThank you, I downloaded your file and made a few changes to the durotar guides. There were a few spelling mistakes I corrected and Drudoo corrected a few wrong coords.
I uploaded the new version.
I will do that, yes.I will do that, yes.
Jahwo, could you please addJahwo, could you please add the 1-12 Human guide to the WoWPro.rar file we offer for download?
Would be much easier for everyone 😉
For now, we only have 1-12For now, we only have 1-12 Human and Horde 74-77 for this addon.
Your friend probably was talking about the other addon format we use, TourGuide. More levels are covered for this one.
Instructions on how to install it can be found here:
https://www.wow-pro.com/leveling_guides/james_leveling_guide_tourguide_style
Read the whole “Installation” paragraph and you should have no problem.
My friend told me he got anMy friend told me he got an addon guide here for level 1-80 which I cant find.”confused :S”
Does the wow-pro addon only works for level 74-75 and 75-77, or I’m missing the rest of it?
Also for the tour guide, I been using and so far nothing appear about making the In here, or tell me to repair, or anything about quest circuit, I pretty muuch pick some quests that I see and I do them….
I’m confused. Can any one clear this out for me? Thanks
Coordinates issue:
X or YCoordinates issue:
X or Y coordinates between 0.0001 and 0.0999 will not show up properly. They either have a blank spot or will display a decimal with the last 2 digits only.
How do you install it?I’ve downloaded PocketRar from Winrar and im trying to extract the files but still unable to do so… can any1 help me install this?
Fantastic, thanks!Fantastic, thanks!
This works with the soThis works with the so called Subzone names, like Booty Bay or Kargath. The main cities aredivided in subzones too (e.g. The Canals in Stromwind), and this condition is strictly speaking completed if the Text over the Minimap changes to the on you’ve given in the regZone Tag.
Does this work with names asDoes this work with names as Booty Bay or Kargath and such?
When flying, I was thinking, you dont wanna jump to the next step untill you’ve actually reached the city.
And another newAnd another new condition.
[code]
[/code]
This one is fired on entering the zone called “Zone Name”
If you right-click the link,If you right-click the link, you should have an option called “Save target as” or similar. With that you can download the file.
How do I put Maw’s guide inHow do I put Maw’s guide in my interface as a .lua file? Whenever I click the link it simply gives me the text and no file, and I don’t have a program that will let me save it as a .lua file.
It’s now possible to add aIt’s now possible to add a number after the questname like this:
[code]
[/code]
This condition will be completed after the first objective of the quest has been finished. Example:
[code]
[/code]
(The quest in the dwarven starting-area where you have to kill troggs)
will be finished after killing 6 Burly Rockjaw Troggs forthe quest.
New condition added: ThisNew condition added:
[code]
[/code]
This one is finished after all objectives for the quest are completed. Use this one instead of regKill, if you want the user to kill xx mobs until a quest is finished.
lol well I will stop shortlol well I will stop short cutting it and stick it in teh problems wiki article 🙂
sorry but I have to see itsorry but I have to see it in code tags, because like this neither of those versions would work. There are no quotation marks andno coordinates. That would give errors in any case 😉
lolI thought I did. Still it all showed up without the code tag working so still dont know what is wrong with why I cant get it to work in my guide. Like I said
{[T]Turn in [quest][58] Cursed Talismans[/quest]|n[G]Get the follow up [quest][60] Warlord of the Bleeding Hollow[/quest].|n[T]Turn in [quest][60] Zeth’Gor Must Burn![/quest]},
Doesnt work but
{[T]Turn in [quest]Cursed Talismans[/quest]|n[G]Get the follow up [quest]Warlord of the Bleeding Hollow[/quest].|n[T]Turn in [quest]Zeth’Gor Must Burn![/quest]},
does and I dont know why. I just have been leaving out the level of the quest in my guide 🙂
please close the [code]-tagplease close the [code]-tag 😉
Oddthat is odd cause I couldn’t get it to work as long as I had them in there
for instance
[size=14][code]{[T]Turn in [quest][58] Cursed Talismans[/quest]|n[G]Get the follow up [quest][60] Warlord of the Bleeding Hollow[/quest].|n[T]Turn in [quest][60] Zeth’Gor Must Burn![/quest][/code][/size]
Will not run but if I take out the brackets with the levels it will
in the normal text thisin the normal text this shouldn’t cause problems. In the condition registering you have to leave them away!
have a quick questionOn the [url=https://www.wow-pro.com/wiki/wowpro_addon_how_contribute]wiki page[/url] I have noticed that hosho originally left in the brackets around the quest level in his guide. I noticed that when I left them in as I was working my guide it caused errors until I removed them. Is this just something wrong in my code or is it something I should look into clearing up on the page?
Graven
you can use your own colorsyou can use your own colors too if you don’t like the red ^^
Crap!!!I didn’t see the [objective][/objective] tags….. 🙁
I’ve been using the [npc][/npc] tag for mobs that you have to attack….LOL
I can fix that though.

Should work now justShould work now 🙂 just redownload the addon
I have seen in several otherI have seen in several other addons them using that functionality but I agree with the guide right there in front of you it would be kind of redundant.
Well there isn’t even eallyWell there isn’t even eally anything that would make sense putting under the arrow, except maybe the coords itself. I don’t think it makes much sense to write the whole step there 😉
and if someone ever wonderedand if someone ever wondered if it’s possible to make the tomtom arrow NOT disappear 10 yards away of the target (I did! 😉 ), you can chage it if you type in your chat:
[code]/script TomTom.profile.persistence.cleardistance=3
[/code]
now it will point to the target until you’re only 3 yards away ;D
If the UI gets reloaded this will change back to 10
Arrow comes up perfectlyok it brings the TomTom arrow up perfectly but don’t have someone in the lvl range to test out if it points right (though I am sure it does) only thing that seems to be missing is the text as to what it is pointing to but I am sure that is because it is just reading our coords preset into the code and (on mine at least) they are not named to give a descriptor.
Thanks 🙂 I really think that small change will make a huge difference 🙂
If you want you can add itIf you want you can add it yourself, by editing the WoWpro.lua and add this line:
[code]if TomTom then TomTom:AddZWaypoint(GetCurrentMapContinent(), GetCurrentMapZone(),
(WP_currentX*100), (WP_currentY*100), “”, false) end[/code]
after those two lines:
[code]WP_currentX = WP_currentGuide.guide[WP_currentStep][2]
WP_currentY = WP_currentGuide.guide[WP_currentStep][3][/code]
just search for them
keep in mind that the waypoints only go away after you reached them or you delete them by hand. This snippet just adds a new coordinate on going to a new step.
cool was just wonderingcool 🙂 was just wondering
it (hopefully ) wouldn’tit (hopefully :P) wouldn’t change anything about the guide .luas, although it would give new possible features, like multiple coords per step
That would be awesome Jahwo.That would be awesome Jahwo. I have to admit I’m a huge fan of the TomTom arrow 🙂
I think that would make aI think that would make a huge difference in the addon Jahwo. I find the little one a bit hard to follow myself, but how will that affect the coord notation in the .lua file?
I’m thinking about replacingI’m thinking about replacing the arrow with the TomTom addon, or at least give the possibility to do that, because it would make many things easier… Also my arrow isn’t even working correctly 😀 maybe someone noticed it, it does not point directly to the target it some cases, but sends you in an awkward curve.. and I don’t have the slightesd idea why this could be.
I’ve tried it out myself andI’ve tried it out myself and your code is correct, but I’ve made a pretty stupid mistake, so that, if there are more than one of the same conditions in a step, only the first one will be registered =/. I wonder why this did not occur during my testing phase, because I’m pretty sure I tested it.. whatever 😀
I hope to fix it in an hour or so…
Oh and if you wan to post code, just use the [ code][/code] tags.
ahh betaLol that is the thing with any beta code it always gets tweaked and played with and you question whether you released it too early 🙂 Good rule of thumb is if it is well accepted just needs some adjustment and tweaking then you have released good code. 🙂 Trust me this is good code 🙂
Yes, according to the wikiYes, according to the wiki page, there is work in progress for both guides for both fractions.
Hello
I’m having problemsHello 🙂
I’m having problems adding multiple conditions to a guide step and I was wondering if you could help me or explain what I’m doing wrong. 🙂
This is the step: {“!MHead south. |n!KKill any troggs you find there. |nStay here until you get 6 [objective]Rockjaw Troggs[/color], 6 [objective]Burly Rockjaw Troggs[/color] ‘”‘.”,0.303,0.752},
(Note: I’ve added the (‘) to the () because otherwise the conditions wouldn’t show up. :?)
The problem is that when I kill 6 Rockjaw Troggs, the guide automatically advances to the next step, regardless of how many Burly Rockjaw Troggs I’ve killed. It will only jump to the next step when I’ve killed 6 Rockjaw Troggs. When I kill the 6 Burly Rockjaw Troggs first, nothing happens. I’m trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong, but nothing I try seems to work. 🙁
Kind Regards,
Yokaij
WorldMap trackingHi
I’m a user of the Questhelper AddOn, and have been testing yourse lately. I must say, it’s WAY better then Questhelper.
Only think I’m missing is the icons on the world map telling you exactly where the objective is, as there can be buildings blocking youre way when following the arrow.
Again, Love the AddOn

Thank you soo much thank you soo much i cant explain how much i appreciate this and everything james do aswell
one question is the other guides such as howling fjord and burning tundra (spelling) going to be added?
I think he means that whenI think he means that when he tries to open the file, because it’s a .rar file as opposed to a .zip.
