Well I was going to update my original post, but it seems that editing is timed out after a period of time. So, here is the new, and most up to date (as of 12/28/06) collection of Mods that I am using.
WoW 2.x Addons Updated, with a less ambiguous name (http://smashtech.net/%7Emurry.smashtech/HLS/wow2-addons-updated.zip)
I recommend, at a minimum, backing up your existing Addons folder, deleting everything in the original, and copying over. Or just copy over the ones you want. If there are any mods you don't want to use, just delete them in the Addons folder, or don't extract them over.
The following is a list of what mod does what, and at a minimum, what you need to know to configure them:
Ace, AceGUI, DeuceCommander, & !!!Libs – These are all backends that Ace Mods need to run properly.
Advanced Tradeskill Window – Simply put this alters the crafting window by putting what you can make on the left and making it on the right. It allows multiple que’s, auto queing of mats (Have to make A, but it requires B and C, just select A and it auto-que’s B and C). It also will buy reagents from vendors.
Atlas – I think most of you know this one. A very good map mod. Puts an icon on the mini-map for the options and to open.
Auctioneer – This is now much more stable. I still get some pauses with I start and finish a scan, but other than that it works like a charm. Includes EnhTooltip (a requirement for some tooltip modification and hooks), Informant (This is the tie-in for the tooltips to let you know what mobs are required for quests and the like), and I added Enchantrix.
Banzai Alert – Ace2 – I highly recommend this mod. Simply put this mod gives you an audio (it says “Agro”) and visual (the perimeter of the screen flashes red) alert when you gain agro. The flashing can get annoying, and possibly life threatening, and is able to be turned off. /banzai for a list of the options in your chat window. (/banzai flash, though worded weird, turns off the flash)
Bongos – Ace2 – This is a very good bar mod. While not as powerful as Discord Action Bars, in a pinch it will get you through if you really like DAB. Allows for scaling, padding (space between the buttons), layout, location placement, and transparency. /bongos shows the options. Most of the options are self explanatory. A bonus is it allows you to set your keybindings with a check and mouse over. This also includes Bongos CastBar(Can be removed, but I just shrink it down to the smallest size and move it to an out of the way place), ActionBar (required), Options (required for a GUI to set the options), and Rollbar (lets you place where loot to be rolled on shows up). There is a newer version out, but Swarfy and myself were having issues with pageswapping (as are all bar mods), and this version is rock stable.
BugSack and Bug Grabber – Ace2 – These two are for errors. If you wish to give feedback on mods, or dig into them yourself, these can be helpful. It tells you an error has occurred when you hear a “Fatality” from the Worms games. “/bugsack show all” brings up a window that displays any errors you have had.
Cartographer – Ace2 - Addons to manipulate the map. It sound simple, but the transparency settings and movability are nice. It also allows the placement of markers. I use this instead of CT.
Chronometer – Ace2 - I really like this mod. What this mod does is shows you a timer bar for debufs you have on the target. As a hunter it shows the time left for Hunters Mark, Scorpid Sting, Wing Clip. On boss fights this thing rocks. According to the developer this works with all classes. You can move, size, alpha, a ton of options. This is another Ace2 mod. /chron shows the options in the chat window. /chron config is the best, and check “Show Anchor” to move, and “Test” to get an idea of how you want to scale it to suit you.
CT-Mods – Included, but I am getting some errors in BugSack. Seems all the bugs aren’t worked out yet, but it does fully work, as well as the annoying “Clicking of Instanity” is gone. I included BuffMod, Core (required), ExpenseHistory, MaiMod, RABossMods, Raid Assistant, Timer, & Viewport.
Damage Meters – Another I think a lot are familiar with. Shows a lot of options from damage dealt and received, healing, healing received, for parties and raids.
Discord Unit Frames – Simply put one of the best mods to customize the look of your party frames out there. There is a Beta version, but works flawlessly for me. /duf brings up the options. It can get a bit overwhelming at first, but is very much worth it.
eCastingbar – Quite a nice replacement for the default (crap) casting bar. This will show you delays (say for instance when Sab is getting smacked around), and now shows the Enemy casting. I found this better than the default setting for enemy casting, as you can move it to a position that is easy to see. /ecastingbar or /ecb will bring up the Options window. So you know, the Mirror bar is used for secondary spells and effects, like Feign death on Hunters. I recommend checking “Hide Outline” once you get the bars placed where you want them as this will make them invisible till they are called for. As a note, the Volley Hunter AoE may be bugged, as you don’t get a timer for it for some reason.
Enhanced Tooltip – This is the backbone for any mod that hooks into the tooltip or allows customization of it. A requirement really.
EQL3 – aka Extended Quest Log – This one is working with my expansion beta copy. What this does is expands the Quest Log to something larger, easier to read, and easier to see quests. So much better than the default Quest Log. Has a built-in Options button.
EquipCompare – Another mod that a lot of people can’t live without. When any item that is equippable shows up, loot, linked, AH, this will show you the tooltip window for it, and a tooltip window of what you have equipped in the same slot. /eqc help for a listing of the options in the chat window.
ezDismount – This is a mod that once you use it you will wonder where it has been all your WoW life. Simply put, this dismounts you quickly and easily. Run to a Flight Master while on a mount, talk to him, and while you are selecting where you want to go, it dismounts you automagically. This also works to dismount you if you push an attack button and when you go to pick/mine. Also works in Shaman and Druid travel forms. /ezdismount for options.
GFW_HuntersHelper – Simply put this mod is a must for hunters. It will show you what is available to learn when you mouse-over beasts that can be tamed.
IceHUD – Ace2 - If you have used ArcHUD this is recognizable. The only real thing it doesn’t do that Arc did is have the option to show party members. Very customizable, and shows the regen rate of energy for rogues (nothing yet for mana users, and not coming). /icehud for the configuration window. A very customizable setup.
IDCard – Ace2 - Simply put, this pulls the item icon and adds it to the tooltip. /idcard for the few options it has.
InFlight – This mod gives you a, well it kind of looks like a casting bar, showing you the time left till you land. Potpie put this one up as well. Can be handy at times.
Informant – Partially Covered in Auctioneer, this is an item database mod for selling and buying from vendors and a database for Mobs on quests and more if I remember right). The default options are pretty good. If you need to configure, /informant shows the options in the chat window.
Insomniax_Core – The Insomniax pack is no longer available, and is now named MirageUI, but this is required for one or two mods I have included here.
LootLink – Another well known by a lot of people. This offers a viewable database of any and every item you have ever seen. Makes an icon on the minimap and you can type in /lootlink or /ll to bring up the window. Has it own Options button. Also known as Telo’s Lootlink – Enhanced. This is giving some grief to people, as with it on you cannot enable a duel with anyone. You can accept duels, just not start them. It is a known bug.
ManaPerc – Just found this one and it is kind of neat. Simply it tells you how much that spell you cast will take, as a percentage, of your overall mana pool in the tooltip.
Mendeleev – This mods is actually pretty handy with LootLink or Ludwig. It shows the drop location of an item in the tooltip, I believe for bosses only, but I am not sure. There is a database already in it. /mendeleev for options.
Mik’s Scrolling Battle Text – A more option filled alternative to Scrolling Combat Text. Allows easier placement of where, and how, you want information given to you. /msbt for options.
MinimapRange – This will show you, in your minimap, the range of your spells and abilities. I like it on my hunter, because of tracking, but not so much for any of my other classes.
MobHealth – Ace2 – A mod I am sure a lot of people are familiar with. This estimates a mobs health. It has an initial guess of the value, and it gets more accurate the more times you fight the mob. /mobhealth3 for chat window options.
MobInfo2 – An almost required mod while questing. This can show you a whole boat load of information in the tooltip about a mob when you mouseover it. /mi2 for customization options.
MobMitigation – A handy little mod that shows you the amount of damage mitigation that the target has to you. It changes to the class you are playing. Now at first it is at 0%, but as you fight it gets more and more accurate. Mouseover will tell you an estimation of it’s armor. “/mobmitigation lock” you will want to do right off the bat, as it places the little window right in the dead-center of your screen. Simply drag it to where you want it and then /mobmitigation lock again to keep it there.
Monkey Mods – These include Quest (allows for tracking of quests, better than the default), Speed (shows your movement speed outside of instances as a percentage in a movable, sizable bar, is hopelessly broke now though. Update soon.), and Buddy (minimap icon, and allows the GUI to set options). A new addition is MonkeyQuestLog. When you click on a quest in MonkeyQuest you get a single window giving you the quest description, instead of having to open the full quest log.
MoveAnything – As the name implies it allows you to move pretty much anything you want. With the absence of CT Mods ability to move bags, I used this to move my bags and a few other windows. This adds a button in the Main Menu (pushing Esc).
QuickLoot – Instead of the loot window always showing up in the upper left corner of the screen this puts the loot window below your cursor. Some people love it, some find it annoying. I have found it to be a small time saver more than anything else.
OmniCC – Almost a must of an addon. Simply put this adds a visable numerical cooldown count on top of the icon for everything from spells, to potions, to your healthstone. /omnicc for options in the chat window.
RaidManager – Required for Raid Points. Our own illustrious Warcaster made this up for points bidding/spending.
RangeRecolor – Ace2 - This mod ties into the action buttons and recolors them when the target is out of range. Red is the default color. /rangerecolor or /rr for chat window options. This may become useless with the new version of Discord.
Rating Buster – Ace2 - Not quite a must, but a highly recommended. With the new changes to spell hits, crit hit, all the combat ratings, this will show in the tooltip what the percentage actually is. This will also show the percentage on items that are now converted to the new format. Also, the combat ratings adjust as you level, this will automatically adjust to your level. /ratingbuster for chat options.
Recipe Book – Ever get a recipie/enchant/plan drop, but couldn’t remember if your alt or you can learn it/knows it. This will tell you in the tooltip. Just log into your alts (per account only as far as I know), and open up your crafting windows to let it find out what you can make.
SilverDragon – A neat little mod I found that will catalog, and even notify you, when a rare mob is around. Even will put a map mark on your World Map (if you have a mod that allows such). You can force it to scan the area around you (not entirely sure on the range, but I am pretty sure it is the same as how far out you can target). Includes a Minimap icon for settings.
Squeenix – Ace2 - Simply this is a square mini-map. As an addition it hides a few frames, and allows you to zoom in with the mouse-wheel while your cursor is over the mini-map (very handy). It can make positioning mini-map icons a bit of a pain, but not to much. /squeenix for chat window options, some of which are very nice (alpha and scale, and if you change the size just move it using MoveAnything).
StopTheSpam – Ace2 - Get a lot of addons that all tell you they have loaded when you first login? Well this will remove that. No options that I could find.
Stubby – This allows addons that need it to be loaded on demand. Pretty much a must for some addons.
SuperInspect – An inspect mod that allows you to store profiles of those you have inspected. Sadly the range is still limited to “standing on the toes” of those you want to inspect.
TinyTip with Extras and Options – Ace2 – This allows for a great deal of customization on the tooltip when you mouse over things. From placement, to anchoring, to letting you know a mob is needed for a quest (though this may be Informant that is doing this, have not verified). Almost a must have, especially for upcoming leveling. /tinytip brings up the options window.
Titan Bar – A whole collection of my favorite bar mod. Allows for many different (titan) mods to be plugged into it. While it doesn’t have as many as FuBar, I found it easier, more compact, easier to customize, and not a resource pull. Included are TitanAmmo (shows how much ammo you have), Bag (Shows bag space), Clock (a small clock), Coords (see where you are), Guild (a quick looksy of who is on), LootType, Money, Performance, Repair (can scan your inventory too), Rider (auto-equips your riding enchants and trinkets), and XP (for leveling). Right-click on the bar for the options. It shows up at the bottom of your screen by default, and if you want you can split up the bars to top and bottom.
TrinketMenu – A lot of you probably know this one already. Another must have. It gives you a little window, scalable in size, for Trinket control and fast swapping. By default it has a mini-map icon, but if you turn that off /trinkey options brings up the options window. There is also a readme.txt in the folder.
WitchHunt – Ace2 - This can be really helpful is some encounters (especially bosses).. What this does it notifies you, in text on your screen, when a target is casting a spell. By default it will notify you when anyone around you is casting, though I think the anyone around you is limited to NPC’s. That can be turned off and limited to target only. /witchhunt will show the options in the chat window.
XLoot – I have grown fond of this mod. It not only skins the loot window to a smoother look, but can also show all loot in one window, instead of the limit of 4 to one frame in default. It also has the added bonus of allowing you to, with one click, to link everything, or at a certain threshold, to chat. I believe /xloot will come up with options, otherwise kill something, click on the little “Quick Link” text at the bottom right corner to set your options.
WoWAceUpdater – I put a separate post about this, and am including it here. As I said, you do not have to have this in your Addons folder to use it.
There ya go. If ya have any questions feel free to ask here or give me a shout in game.
