Editing WoW:Cosmos (AddOn)/Cosmos FAQ (section)

=== Troubleshooting and User Interface Questions ===

==== How do I get the game out of Windowed Mode? ====
:Hit 'Esc' on your keyboard, click 'Video Options' and uncheck 'Windows Mode'.

==== WoW just told me my user interface is using up too much memory. How do I fix this? ====
:At the screen where you select your characters hit the Addons button at the bottom left corner of the screen. At the top there will be a field you can enter a higher memory amount in. Setting this value to 0 will make the game use as much memory as it needs.

==== How do I move the tooltip back to the bottom right? ====
:Open Khaos, choose Gymnast Tooltips in the center navigation and click the "Reset the Game Tooltip" button.

==== How do I move the buttons above the right side of my main menu bar? ====
:Those bar(s) are PopBar. It has more keys than any other and two rows (One which defaults to Auto-Hide). To drag it click and drag the small 'P' button on the bottom left hand corner of the buttons.

==== How do I reset the PopBar location? ====
:Open Khaos, choose PopBar in the center navigation, then scoll the main window to the bottom and click the "Reset" button next to "Default PopBar Position"

==== The Second Bar, Pet Bar, etc. is blocking the view on the chat. How can I move the chat? ====
:Right-click on the chat window's tab and select "Unlock Window". Then drag it where you like. You may also want to lock it after you finnish.

==== I use MobileFrames and one or more of my windows is off the screen and I can't get it back. How do fix this? ====
:You can open Khaos, go to MobileFrames and click the Reset All button or look below that for each frame's individual Reset button. You may also type /mflist to get a list of currently mobile frames and use /mfreset [framename] to reset individual frames.

==== How do I get Archaeologist to show my target's HP? ====
:*If you've never attacked that creature, MobInfo2 can't show you an HP value. The target HP feature is only an estimation. MobInfo2 guesses your target's HP after you've hit it and remembers that information. It will show a more accurate value as you kill more of that creature. 
:*Also make sure Archaeologist and MobInfo2 are both running and that the option for Archaeologist in Khaos is set to show your target's real HP when available.

==== I keep getting disconnected, why? ====
:There are a plethora of explanations. One common reason is too much outgoing chat messages. You might try leaving the Sky channel and disabling it's auto-join or installing [http://www.cosmosui.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1614 ChatTraffic]. If it helps at all, the outgoing max currently seems to be about 1000 characters of text per second. If this does not solve your problem please report it on the [http://www.cosmosui.org/forums/ Cosmos Forums].

==== Can I talk to players from the opposite faction? ====
:No. It's illegal and nearly impossible.

==== I'm getting health bars appearing above NPCs all of a sudden - how do I turn this off? ====
:This is a default Blizzard option, but many people seem to think its a Cosmos issue. You probably hit "V" by mistake. Press it again to toggle on/off. (Check keybindings in case you re-mapped it somewhere else if this doesn't work)

==== Which addon provides the "alt-click to invite a player to group" function? ====
:The addon is called AltInvite.  You can find it by clicking the Addons button in the character select screen.  Check to enable this addon, uncheck to disable it.

==== I've tried everything but my chat channels are still not working. How can I fix them? ====
:Marsman has written a good guide located at [[Cosmos FAQ/Fixing chat channels]].
:Also check out [[Chat#Chat_Channel_Troubleshooting|Chat Channel Troubleshooting]].

==== How can I hide the chat notices about changing General, Trade or other major channels? ====
:If you are using Sky you can type /script SkyChannelManager.hideJoinLeaveAlerts( "<channel name>" ); into chat, replacing <channel name> with any of the following: 'General - Ironforge', 'Trade - City'. Sky, SkyParty, SkyRaid, SkyZone, SkyGuild are also valid options. For any other channels, type /chatlist to get names of all the chat channels you are currently in.

==== How do I get ThottBot to work? ====
:Thottbot requires the following AddOns:
:*Earth
:*Chronos
:*Khaos
:*Sea
:*Thottbot

==== Can I show collected ThottBot data in-game? ====
:Not currently.  The only available methods would be huge memory drains. The closest thing we have is the data you can tell MobInfo2 to collect about item drops.

==== How do you change per-character add-on settings? ====
:A pop-up window comes up when you first use Cosmos asking if you would like the current configuration as the default setting for this character.
:*To get to this popup again open [[Khaos]], make sure the User Skill drop down is Advanced or higher, and find the profile you want as your default, right-click it and select "Change Default". Then select that profile from the dropdown menu of the popup and check the default checkbox.

==== Can I simply delete unwanted AddOns from my AddOns folder? ====
:While you can, simply deleting AddOns that are part of Cosmos could lead to other parts of Cosmos ceasing to function. Use discretion when doing so. If you are using the Patcher it will also replace them when updating.  You can use the Patcher, however, to Never Update certain addons or install them in the '''Interface\Disabled Addons''' folder.

==== How do I get Timex to work with Chronos? ====
:Timex is not a Cosmos addon and is not supported by Cosmos staff. Timex aggressively replaces Chronos. The latest version should work with the latest version of Chronos but sometimes they get out of sync. This can be fixed by updating the masking code in Timex's replacements. Open Timex\Core\TimexCoreSupport.lua and replace

   scheduleByName       = function(...)
      local n, t, f = arg[1], arg[2], arg[3]
      tremove(arg, 1) tremove(arg, 2) tremove(arg, 3)
      Timex:AddNamedSchedule(n, t, nil, nil, f, unpack(arg))
   end,
