MIRAGE UI COMPILATION
(Previously known as the 'Insomniax Recompilation')
Version 2.4.01, April 2nd, 2008
Created and maintained by Eduardo "LedMirage" Lucero
=================================================

Thank you for downloading the Mirage UI Compilation, I sincerely hope you enjoy it as much as I have and that it makes your gaming experience a better one

The MUI compilation is intended to be as easy and simple to setup and as user friendly as possible, it compiles some of the best user interface modification for World of Warcraft and it has changed a lot since the first version I released back in December of 2004 however the quality, attention to detail and commitment to our online community remains the same.

While a I put a lot of work and time into maintaining and improving this compilation including some minor coding and artwork please do not forget that all the individual mods that make up the compilation come from many talented and different authors; for us mod authors credit for our work is more than often the only thing we will ever receive, please do not forget to give proper credit where it's due, taking credit for someone else's work is not only uncool and rude, it's demoralizing and will only be detrimental in the development of free add-ons.

A big thank you goes out to each and every contributor in the mod community and a special thanks to all the authors whose work has been a part of this compilation. Thanks guys!


P.S. Those of you who have helped out with words of encouragment, compliments and even donations, you know who you are, a big special thanks goes out to you!

=================================================
HOW YOU CAN HELP
=================================================
There are many ways in which you can help make the compilation a better package, here are a couple of examples of what other users have done:

1. Download the compilation in all the major WoW UI Mod Websites, add it to your favorites and cast your vote.

This helps promote the compilation, specially for new users. A special note here is that this compilation has been around since December 2004 but all statistics were reset after WoW version 2.0 was released, in addition the compilation went through a name change and I also host the file directly from my own website site December 2006. The result is ratings and numbers of downloads nowhere near indicative of its popularity - but clearly there's a LOT of you out there who continue to use it.

2. Help out users in need of assistance with compilation issues in other websites and redirect them to the official forum of the MUI Compilation (http://ledmirage.net)

3. Participate in the official MUI Compilation forums (http://ledmirage.net), we have a very active and relatively sane community who is more than willing to help out even it's regarding issues outside of the MUI compilation.

4. Give your feedback in the forums, this is where I get to find out wheter you love a new change or you just can't stand it, just remember to be civil and constructive about it!

5. I do not require monetary donations but if you are so inclined to help out I definitely will more than appreciate your contribution, those of you who have helped have not only made me happier, you have literally saved our butts during most of 2007 and early 2008 as both my wife and I found ourselves unemployed, thank you very much!!! My personal Paypal account to which you can send any and all donations is: LedMirage[AT]woh.rr.com

6. Don't forget that this is a compilation and there are many authors involved, any and all of the above suggestions apply for them to, show us your support, we don't mind, in fact it keeps us going

Thanks for your support!


=================================================
INSTALLATION
=================================================
A lot of time and effort is put into making sure the initial default settings are as tolerable and user friendly as possible, however only new users (or clean installations) would have noticed this; if you are an advanced user then use the Quick Installation method, otherwise you should use the Clean Installation method, both are explained below.

4/02/2008: IMPORTANT, all ACE dependant mods do not include external libraries, this drastically reduces loading time and the amount of files on your PC, however, you must absolutely make sure to completely empty up your ..\Interface\AddOns\ folder prior to extracting the files in the compilation to avoid complications.

Clean Installation (Basic Users):

Use this method if you are new to mods and do not understand how mods work in World of Warcraft, this is the recommended procedure.
1. Exit the game

2. Delete all the contents of your ..\World of Warcraft\Interface\ folder

3. Make a Backup of your ..\World of Warcraft\WTF\ folder, you only need to do this if you want to have a backup of data from mods previously installed, for example Gatherer, Map Notes, etc.

4. Delete your ..\World of Warcraft\WTF\ folder

5. Delete your ..\World of Warcraft\Cache\WDB\ folder

6. Launch the game without any mods installed and log into the game with one of your characters

7. Exit the game

8. Extract all the files from the Mirage UI compilation Zip file making sure to use folder names and point to your root World of Warcraft folder.

9. Launch the game

Quick Installation (Advanced Users):

Use this method if you have a good understanding of how mods work in World of Warcraft and can easily solve common mod conflict issues on your own.
1. Exit the game

2. Delete all the contents of your ..\World of Warcraft\Interface\ folder

3. Extract all the files from the Mirage UI compilation Zip file making sure to use folder names and point to your root World of Warcraft folder.

4. Launch the game

=================================================
IMPORTING MAP NOTES
From MetaMap, CT_MapMod or Gatherer to Cartographer
=================================================

1. Find the folder ..\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\YOUR-LOGIN-NAME\Saved Variables\

2. Once there find the file named MetaMap.lua and copy it (this also applies to Gatherer.lua and CT_MapMod.lua)

3. Find the folder ..\World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons\Cartographer_Import\

4. Paste the file MetaMap.lua that you just copied inside the folder ..\Cartographer_Import\

5. Launch the game and open your the map and click on the cartographer button

6. From the Cartographer drop down list choose "Icon packs" and make sure that "Metamap Iconpack", "Gatherer Iconpack", CT_MapMod Iconpack" and "Enabled" are all checked.

7. Enjoy your MetaMap Notes in Cartographer!

* Mirage UI Core. Current version is 20400.1, among many other support files used throughout the compilation this mod adds 68 custom Status Bars that can be accessed by any ACE mod. Quartz, X-Perl and many other mods can choose from these unique textures through their configuration menus.

=================================================
Known Issues and workarounds
=================================================
If you have any problems not listed below it is highly recommended that do a clean installation of the compilation as indicated in the Installation section, if this does not resolve your issue please let us know in the forums at http://www.ledmirage.net/

* Player, Pet, Target, Party frames reset to a default position on the left side of the screen the first time the X-Perl configuration panel is launched, to fix this simply move the frames and close the configuration panel, it only occurs on the first time the configuration is opened and closed without moving the frames. This appears to be a bug within X-Perl as it occurs with the latest version without any other mods installed.
* Minimap distorted and configuration menu is inaccesible: To fix this issue type "/smm reset" if this doesn't work then exit the game and go to the ..\WTF\Account\LoginName\Saved Variables\ folder and delete all files named "SimpleMinimap.*"; To prevent this issue when the minimap is displayed properly, right click on it to bring up SimpleMinimap's menu and make sure to enable both the "Lock Minimap" and the "Lockdown Enabled" options.
