Insomnimax 3.2.2



Updated 8/7/2009.

Download the latest version here hosted at mendax.org.

What is new with 3.2.X? Many mods have been updated for patch 3.2, but several still give errors. Check back frequently for updates, even under this same post I will update the downloadable every other day or so until things settle out.

Regarding 3.1.3 and after: This is a MAJOR REWRITE replacing many old, bloated mods. In essence, I had the day off and was able to scrub the whole suite. The result is my best suite ever with a smaller file size, smaller memory footprint, and it is way more user friendly. There are so many replacements and improvements, I don’t know where to start...

Auctioneer Suite is out, replaced by AuctionMaster and qAHImproved. Auctioneer was getting too bloated and non-user friendly. AuctionMaster and qAHImproved give you what you need, average auction price and current auction price in the tool tip and a slick interface at the AH.

Most CT Mod functions are out, BetterInbox is in, replacing MailMod.

ControlFreak is added for tanks to help with crowd control.

Examiner is in, allowing a quick check of a toon’s gear, even after they run away from you.

Gatherer is out, replaced by Gathermate. Import the database for a VERY compete list of collected items.

FlightMap is out, replaced by the flight timer in QuestHelper and HandyNotes.

HatTrick is new and allows quick toggle of hat/cloak visibility from your character window.

Sellfish is new, listing vendor sales price of any item in the tool tip.

Talented is new, allowing you to save and import talent trees.

EquipCompare is out replaced by Tekkompare

ShadowTrance is new, to help us Locks when our instant ShadowBolt procs.

!Swatter is out replaced by !BugGrabber and BugSack.

LinksList is out, too big, too inefficient.

MonkeyQuest Log is out, it was unnecessary.

Bongos has been replaced by Dominos. Use /dominos to configure your bars.

DamageMeters is out, replaced by Recount.

EnhToolTip has been replaced by TipTac.

Bongos has been replaced by Dominos. Use /dominos to configure your bars.

Almost all other remaining UIs were updated to the latest version.

Important Note: Always make sure to delete your old addons folder and replace with the new InsomniMax version. Failure to do this may give you problems as the names of mods change every once in a while and you will end up with two versions of the same mod running at once. This = bad.

Open Issues with this version: Several errors when inspecting equipment, but no noticeable effects..

Common fixes/Questions:

I recommend disabling Omen unless you are a tank.

Under QuestHelper (Call: /qh) Disable to Quest Arrow

Under AuctionMaster, disable Snipes else your scan will take FOREVER.

Under /tomtom: Under Coordinate Block, disable Coordinate Block to remove X, Y box. Under World Map, disable player and cursor coordinates. Under Waypoint Arrow, disable Waypoint Arrow and ETA.

DOTimer, ShadowTrance, and ShardMax are Warlock mods and are not needed for other classes.

Use /xperl to configure your player frames.

Use /ct to configure buff display.

Type /tomtom or /way to toggle or access the new coordinate helpers.

Type, “/cooldowns”, then lock AND disable this mod which is unfortunately part of DOTimer.

In order for AuctionMaster to work you will have to go the auction house and click on the top left button. It will take about 10-15 minutes. For the most up to date info on item cost, scan often. The more you scan the better your info will be.

In order for BankItems to work, you will need to visit the bank. After your first visit, type /bankitems at any time to see what is in your bank including in the bank bags!!!

VERY IMPORTANT: When you are done configuring, logout, exit game, and log back in. This will save all your settings. If you don’t logout and the game crashes, you must start from scratch. :(

Why use UIs in WoW? Simple answer: They will make you a better player. You will level faster, be a deadlier foe, understand the game more, be frustrated less, and make WAY more gold.

What is InsomniMax? InsomniMax started when I kept getting requests from my friends and guildies to make the UIs I used available for them download. In order to assist them in setting it up, I wrote a fairly indepth guide (below). Although originally based on the Insomniax UI Suite, as my experience in dealing with UIs has grown, the dependence on Insomniax has decreased. Over the recent patches I have added a lot of great UIs, removed some problematic things, and fixed any problematic UIs. It is not perfect, but is as close as I can achieve. My philosophy with UIs is to provide every UI needed to make WoW as enjoyable as possible. I purposely try to keep the suite manageable in size by only adding time tested and often used UIs. I figure if the UI suite gets too large and complicated, no one will use it. I give you everything you need and want, and nothing you don’t. I thoroughly encourage you to add UIs for you specific class/professions and encourage you to post suggestions or problems so I can address them as soon as possible.

Warning: I am not one of the amazingly talented creators of these mods nor am I a coder. I simply zip my Addons folder and make it available for download and use by my fellow WoWers. I cannot vouch for the purity of the UI files or the safety of running them. Use at your own risk.

Will there be updates? Yes and regular ones at that. The positive response to the suite has been overwhelming. I continue to update the suite, sometimes weekly, so that the best mods are available for you… so check back often. Also as everyone has been so supportive, when patches occur I want to continue to earn your support by releasing a stable version ON PATCH DAY, every patch day. If Blizzard breaks it, I will fix it and get you back up and running that night.

InsomniMax 3.1.6





Updated 5/25/2009.

Download the latest version here.

What is new with 3.1.X? Many mods have been updated. Omen, which mysteriously was left off on a previous version, has been re-added. Enchantrix and Stubby were removed as they required the now bloated Auctioneer to work properly.

InsomniMax 3.1.2

Updated 4/22/2009.

Download the latest version here.

Important Note: Always make sure to delete your old addons folder and replace with the new InsomniMax version. Failure to do this may give you problems as the names of mods change every once in a while and you will end up with two versions of the same mod running at once. This = bad.

Open Issues with this version: None, as long as you enable out of date addons.

What is new with 3.1.X? Some updates for the 3.1 patch, but still quite a few that haven't gotten the 3.1 treatment yet. Fixes for Deadly Bos Mods that effected whispering and fancy fix for FlightMap re-enabling Flight Master icons on world map.

Common fixes/Questions:

I’ve heard a couple random accounts of Flight Path problems. If you experience any issues try, going to (account) (your server) (your character) and delete the file “layout-cache.txt”.

Bongos has been replaced by Dominos. Use /dominos to configure your bars.

Use /tiptac to configure your tip box.

Under /tomtom: Under Coordinate Block, disable Coordinate Block to remove X, Y box. Under World Map, disable player and cursor coordinates. Under Waypoint Arrow, disable Waypoint Arrow and ETA.

DOTimer and ShardMax are Warlock mods and are not needed for other classes.

Use /xperl to configure your player frames.

Use /ct to configure buff display.

Use /ll to view the LootLink item database. The database will grow as you see more items in game.
Type: “/ll”, then uncheck “show button” to disable the silly LootLink button.

Type /tomtom or /way to toggle or access the new coordinate helpers.

Type, “/cooldowns”, then lock AND disable this mod which is unfortunately part of DOTimer.

Type “/auctioneer load always”. Type “/auctioneer embed on”.
Type “/informant load always”. Type “/informant embed on”.
Type “/enchantrix load always”. Type “/enchantrix embed on”.

Type “/eqc on” to turn on EquipCompare.

Also, under AtlasLoot, I recommend selecting “equipcompare” and “lootlink.” If you miss the first chance to set it up, open Atlas and then click the options tab at the bottom.

In order for Auctioneer to work you will have to go the auction house and click scan. It will take about 10-15 minutes. For the most up to date info on item cost, scan often. The more you scan the better your info will be.

In order for BankItems to work, you will need to visit the bank. After your first visit, type /bankitems at any time to see what is in your bank including in the bank bags!!!

VERY IMPORTANT: When you are done configuring, logout, exit game, and log back in. This will save all your settings. If you don’t logout and the game crashes, you must start from scratch. :(

Why use UIs in WoW? Simple answer: They will make you a better player. You will level faster, be a deadlier foe, understand the game more, be frustrated less, and make WAY more gold.

What is InsomniMax? InsomniMax started when I kept getting requests from my friends and guildies to make the UIs I used available for them download. In order to assist them in setting it up, I wrote a fairly indepth guide (below). Although originally based on the Insomniax UI Suite, as my experience in dealing with UIs has grown, the dependence on Insomniax has decreased. Over the recent patches I have added a lot of great UIs, removed some problematic things, and fixed any problematic UIs. It is not perfect, but is as close as I can achieve. My philosophy with UIs is to provide every UI needed to make WoW as enjoyable as possible. I purposely try to keep the suite manageable in size by only adding time tested and often used UIs. I figure if the UI suite gets too large and complicated, no one will use it. I give you everything you need and want, and nothing you don’t. I thoroughly encourage you to add UIs for you specific class/professions and encourage you to post suggestions or problems so I can address them as soon as possible.

Will there be updates? Yes and regular ones at that. The positive response to the suite has been overwhelming. I continue to update the suite, sometimes weekly, so that the best mods are available for you… so check back often. Also as everyone has been so supportive, when patches occur I want to continue to earn your support by releasing a stable version ON PATCH DAY, every patch day. If Blizzard breaks it, I will fix it and get you back up and running that night.

Insomnimax 3.1.1

Updated 4/15/2009.

Download the latest version here.

The only thing guaranteed is death and patches. Would have had this up yesterday but got stuck on the backup computer with no patch data downloaded. Eight hours later, I am ready to go. :(

Important Note: Always make sure to delete your old addons folder and replace with the new InsomniMax version. Failure to do this may give you problems as the names of mods change every once in a while and you will end up with two versions of the same mod running at once. This = bad.

Open Issues with this version: None, as long as you enable out of date addons.

What is new with 3.1.X? Many updates for the 3.1 patch, but still quite a few that haven't gotten the 3.1 treatment yet. Enable out of date addons and you should be good to go.

Common fixes/Questions:

I’ve heard a couple random accounts of Flight Path problems. If you experience any issues try, going to (account) (your server) (your character) and delete the file “layout-cache.txt”.

Bongos has been replaced by Dominos. Use /dominios to configure your bars.

Use /tiptac to configure your tip box.

Under /tomtom: Under Coordinate Block, disable Coordinate Block to remove X, Y box. Under World Map, disable player and cursor coordinates. Under Waypoint Arrow, disable Waypoint Arrow and ETA.

DOTimer and ShardMax are Warlock mods and are not needed for other classes.

Use /xperl to configure your player frames.

Use /ct to configure buff display.

Use /ll to view the LootLink item database. The database will grow as you see more items in game.
Type: “/ll”, then uncheck “show button” to disable the silly LootLink button.

Type /tomtom or /way to toggle or access the new coordinate helpers.

Type, “/cooldowns”, then lock AND disable this mod which is unfortunately part of DOTimer.

Type “/auctioneer load always”. Type “/auctioneer embed on”.
Type “/informant load always”. Type “/informant embed on”.
Type “/enchantrix load always”. Type “/enchantrix embed on”.

Type “/eqc on” to turn on EquipCompare.

Also, under AtlasLoot, I recommend selecting “equipcompare” and “lootlink.” If you miss the first chance to set it up, open Atlas and then click the options tab at the bottom.

In order for Auctioneer to work you will have to go the auction house and click scan. It will take about 10-15 minutes. For the most up to date info on item cost, scan often. The more you scan the better your info will be.

In order for BankItems to work, you will need to visit the bank. After your first visit, type /bankitems at any time to see what is in your bank including in the bank bags!!!

VERY IMPORTANT: When you are done configuring, logout, exit game, and log back in. This will save all your settings. If you don’t logout and the game crashes, you must start from scratch. :(

Why use UIs in WoW? Simple answer: They will make you a better player. You will level faster, be a deadlier foe, understand the game more, be frustrated less, and make WAY more gold.

What is InsomniMax? InsomniMax started when I kept getting requests from my friends and guildies to make the UIs I used available for them download. In order to assist them in setting it up, I wrote a fairly indepth guide (below). Although originally based on the Insomniax UI Suite, as my experience in dealing with UIs has grown, the dependence on Insomniax has decreased. Over the recent patches I have added a lot of great UIs, removed some problematic things, and fixed any problematic UIs. It is not perfect, but is as close as I can achieve. My philosophy with UIs is to provide every UI needed to make WoW as enjoyable as possible. I purposely try to keep the suite manageable in size by only adding time tested and often used UIs. I figure if the UI suite gets too large and complicated, no one will use it. I give you everything you need and want, and nothing you don’t.

InsomniMax 2.4.11

Updated 5/31/2008.

Download the latest version here.

Important Note: Always make sure to delete your old addons folder and replace with the new InsomniMax version. Failure to do this may give you problems as the names of mods change every once in a while and you will end up with two versions of the same mod running at once. This = bad.

Open Issues with this version: Some instability with TomTom.

What is new with 2.4.X? A relatvely significant update... Updates for the brilliant but buggy TomTom and always in beta Auctioneer. Swapped TipBuddy for the vastly superior TipTac. Dumped the no longer supported TheoryCraft for Critology. Swapped the no longer supported LootLink with LinksList. Added Omen and Deadly Boss Mods to help with raids.

Common fixes/Questions:

I’ve heard a couple random accounts of Flight Path problems. If you experience any issues try, going to (account) (your server) (your character) and delete the file “layout-cache.txt”.

Good news, bongos is fixed; bad news, you have to configure all your bars. :( If only the bongos author made every new version backwards compatible…

To configure bongos, type “/bongos”, enable the minimap button, left click the minimap button to enter editing mode, then hold control and drag to create a new action bar.

Use /tiptac to configure your tip box.

Under /tomtom: Under Coordinate Block, disable Coordinate Block to remove X, Y box. Under World Map, disable player and cursor coordinates. Under Waypoint Arrow, disable Waypoint Arrow and ETA.

Under /bongos, disable any new bars you don’t want.

DOTimer and ShardDeleter are Warlock mods and are not needed for other classes.

Use /bongos to configure your bars. If you save a configuration for one toon, you can just load that configuration for all your other toons.

Use /xperl to configure your player frames.

Use /ct to configure buff display.

Use /dhud to configure the hud. For beginners, I recommend disabling this mod.

Use /ll to view the LootLink item database. The database will grow as you see more items in game.

Use /ttst to configure spell countdowns and autoannouncing.

Type: “/qa every 1000″ to set the quest announcer to only announce to your first and last items collected in a quest.

Type: “/dhud menu” then uncheck “show player frame” to remove broken player frame on screen.

Type: “/tc”, under the button text tab, uncheck “Enable button text” to disable text on your buttons.

Type: “/ll”, then uncheck “show button” to disable the silly LootLink button.

Type /tomtom or /way to toggle or access the new coordinate helpers.

Type, “/cooldowns”, then lock AND disable this mod which is unfortunately part of DOTimer.

Type “/auctioneer load always”. Type “/auctioneer embed on”.
Type “/informant load always”. Type “/informant embed on”.
Type “/enchantrix load always”. Type “/enchantrix embed on”.

Type “/eqc on” to turn on EquipCompare.

I included a LootLink database installer to start you off with a pretty full item database, but this will not override any existing items. You can disable or delete the mod once you run it the first time.

Also, under AtlasLoot, I recommend selecting “equipcompare” and “lootlink.” If you miss the first chance to set it up, open Atlas and then click the options tab at the bottom.

In order for Auctioneer to work you will have to go the auction house and click scan. It will take about 10-15 minutes. For the most up to date info on item cost, scan often. The more you scan the better your info will be.

In order for BankItems to work, you will need to visit the bank. After your first visit, type /bankitems at any time to see what is in your bank including in the bank bags!!!

In order for CharactersViewer to work, you will need to simply login as any of your alts. Using the “compare” button under the “character window,” to view all the equipment for any of your alts!!!

VERY IMPORTANT: When you are done configuring, logout, exit game, and log back in. This will save all your settings. If you don’t logout and the game crashes, you must start from scratch. :(

Why use UIs in WoW? Simple answer: They will make you a better player. You will level faster, be a deadlier foe, understand the game more, be frustrated less, and make WAY more gold.

What is InsomniMax? InsomniMax started when I kept getting requests from my friends and guildies to make the UIs I used available for them download. In order to assist them in setting it up, I wrote a fairly indepth guide (below). Although originally based on the Insomniax UI Suite, as my experience in dealing with UIs has grown, the dependence on Insomniax has decreased. Over the recent patches I have added a lot of great UIs, removed some problematic things, and fixed any problematic UIs. It is not perfect, but is as close as I can achieve. My philosophy with UIs is to provide every UI needed to make WoW as enjoyable as possible. I purposely try to keep the suite manageable in size by only adding time tested and often used UIs. I figure if the UI suite gets too large and complicated, no one will use it. I give you everything you need and want, and nothing you don’t. I thoroughly encourage you to add UIs for you specific class/professions and encourage you to post suggestions or problems so I can address them as soon as possible.

Will there be updates? Yes and regular ones at that. The positive response to the suite has been overwhelming. I continue to update the suite, sometimes weekly, so that the best mods are available for you… so check back often. Also as everyone has been so supportive, when patches occur I want to continue to earn your support by releasing a stable version ON PATCH DAY, every patch day.
