Right now, my second passion is World of Warcraft. I justify it by telling myself that I’m really just supporting them for their simultaneous Mac and PC game releases. If only more companies were like them. I digress. As I’ve gotten into the latter stages of the game, I’ve become reliant upon add-ons. They help you play the game better with different interfaces and other assisting services.
Keeping on top of these, particularly around the time of a new patch release is hard. The APIs supplied change and a handy dandy software update isn’t provided. One patch repository centered around a special repackaging of Blizzard’s API is Ace. They’ve always supplied a Windows auto-updater, but not a Mac one. Then, one brave individual developed one. Unfortunately, it was never updated for Leopard and crashes upon updating add-ons. Then someone created another one. It doesn’t crash! Huzzah.
For all you WoW fanatics, this is now the way to install and maintain add-ons.
Thanks Derik! I've been looking for an ace updater that doesn't crash ever since I installed Leopard! Force quitting once or twice a day (I play too much, I know) gets pretty tedious.
