Extracting FrameXML locally
- Download Blizzard's UI Customization Tool (Follow the Support Tools link on http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/ )
- This direct link should also work.
- Run it, click the appropriate button(s)
- When it's done look in World of Warcraft/Blizzard Interface Data (enGB)/FrameXML (for an English client)
- If you've also extracted the graphics, you'll want to know that textures are .blp files. Google for 'blp warcraft'to get an idea of what this means
Viewing FrameXML on the web
- http://wowcompares.com keeps a database of all versions of FrameXML online. You can compare different versions to each other, view the contents of specific files (in a specific interface version), or just download the entire interface as it looked for a given version. Even test server versions are available.
