Turn In
v2.0
by Sabindeus of Smolderthorn/Andre of Argent Dawn (Alliance)
DESCRIPTION
An add-on that automates the clicking of Quests and NPC Gossip dialogues.
HOW TO USE
To bring up the Options window, type /ti window.
To bring up the Recently Visited NPCs window, type /ti recent.
Turn In keeps an NPC database, to allow you to customize your interactions on a per-NPC basis. Whenever you talk to an NPC, it appears in your Recently Visited NPCs window. From there you can decide if you want to add it to the Database so you can customize his options. Simply click the ' ' button to add the NPC to the DB.
After Adding an NPC, you can check the checkbox next to its name in the NPC list and then rearrange or activate/deactive his options to your liking. If you uncheck the checkbox next to an NPC's name, it will use the default option set. If you want Turn In to specifically take no action for an NPC, simply deactivate all of his options, don't uncheck his checkbox in the NPC list!
When an NPC does not appear in the Database, Turn In uses the default option set to resolve interactions with it. You can customize the default option set by not having an NPC selected in the options window. The Use Default Settings checkbox determines whether talking to NPC not in the Database will use the default options or do nothing at all. The Automatically Add NPCs checkbox will cause all of your new NPC visits to automatically add the NPC to your NPC DB.
COMMAND SUMMARY
/turnin or /ti - basic slash command, shows help message
/turnin on - Turns on the mod, from now on all quests will be automatically chosen and completed. Additionally, any available quests will be accepted, and gossip options will be automatically chosen.

CHANGE LOG
v2.0 - Logic rewrite and added a real GUI for the new NPC DB. Updated for WoW 2.0.
v1.3 - Greedy mode now actually works properly... I think. More to come! :/
v1.2 - Added Saved Variables. Turn In status now persists. Turn In now selects active quests and gossip options as well as available quests. Greedy mode lets you select an option regardless of if the one you wanted is availble.
v1.1 - Fixed "bug" regarding Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff (and possibly other NPCs). Was more of a sloppy omission than a bug really.
v1.0a - Added toggle function
v1.0 - Initial Release
Special Thanks to Florrail for beta testing like a pro!

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.
