Modmaking FAQ

Q: My mod doesn't show up in the addons-list ingame, what's wrong?
A: There's something wrong with the .toc file. Make sure that:
1) All mod files are placed in the right folder, which should be anmed after your mod and then be placed here: "World of Warcraft ny\Interface\AddOns\".
2) Make sure you actually have any .toc file, and that it's placed with the rest of the files for your mod. If you dont have any .toc file, read the modmaking guide to learn about it.
3) Make sure the .toc file is written properly. Read the modmaking guide to learn more about it.

Q: I get an "attempt to call global (variable or function): (a nil value)
A: Possible reasons:
1) You are referring to a non-existant function (only likely  if the error is called from the xml file)
2) Your variable has a nil value, which does not tolerate being used the way you are trying to.
3) The name you have used for your variable is reserved for something else and will not work. You need to rename the variable to get things working.
