Addon's Modified or Written, and Maintained by Bill

Addon	WoW version	Addon version	Last Updated	Comments
Aristocraft	2.4.0	3.1.2	28 Mar 2008	This addon, originally by PoeticDragon, allows selecting craftables to get a raw material shopping list. Last I checked, PoeticDragon had not updated this addon for the WoW 2.0 patch. My changes include A reverse order crafting window that presents the order to craft all subassemblies that lead to the desired items. The Craft button will queue up the necessary quantity with one click. Tracking enchanting material lists Ace is embedded with the addon. This allows me to use PeriodicTable, which has a much smaller memory footprint. Aristocraft only consumes one-seventh the memory it did previous to the 2.0 update. No longer uses ReagentData, since that addon does not seem to be regularly updated Only scanning the inventory once per BAG_UPDATE event Updates for WoW 2.0 Little tweaks to processing time Increasing depth of searching to 6, since some Engineering items have subassemblies that are 6 levels deep In game help to remind the user what left click modifiers to use
DuelCancel	2.4.0	2.0.4	16 Nov 2007	Automatically cancels duel challenges, based on NoDuel by ForgottenOne. My changes include Ace is embedded with the addon. This allows me to use the updated WhoLib. Emote the challenger when declining or ignoring Repress the duel popup window Did not feel the need to have random emotes, so I pulled that out Check the faction of the challenger, with WhoLib, to determine whether to send a whisper Retaining a session history of challengers. Unfortunately, I found a case where I would get multiple challenges from multiple people (damn Crossroads challenge monkeys). Each one ultimately deserved an ignore, but because each one would challenge nearly sequentially, the addon did not catch them.
Framerate	2.4.0	2.1.3	16 Nov 2007	Displays the framerate and memory usage and memory consumption rate in a small, moveable window. The original was by Grumm SkullCrusher, but that version has not been updated for WoW 2.0. My changes include Display memory usage (MB) and consumption rate (kB / hour) Options to change the scaling and transparency of the window Option to force a periodic garbage collection - some addons leak like a sieve
GoldTally	2.4.0	1.2.0	16 Nov 2007	Tracks and displays the amount and rate (per hour) of gold earned for a given session of WoW. This is my first addon that I did not tweak someone else's idea :-) It now has the option to show the remaining bag slots, so you can see when you are about out of room.
WoW Addon Manager	N/A	1.0	6 Aug 2007	This is a program, for Windows, that looks at your addons and, based on the WoW version you tell it, tells you which ones are out of date. It can also store the URLs to download updates, which it pulls up in a subwindow of the main dialog box. There are no warranties expressed or implied.
WoW Addon Installer	N/A	1.2.1	28 Apr 2008	This is a program, for Windows, that will take all of the zip files and rar addon files in a directory and install them into the World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons directory. It will also review the embedded directories in the compressed file and adjust the installation directory appropriately. You can select what date range to work with (as of yesterday, last week, last month, or last year) and select which files to be uncompressed. The ZIP and RAR compression algorithms are embedded into the program, so that you do not have a separate DLL floating around to open the compressed files. There are no warranties expressed or implied with this program.

Links to Addons that Bill Likes

Cosmos	Good, all around collection
Auctioneer	For tracking market trends
Cryolysis: Revived	Saves space on the action bar for mage buffs and such
Henge	Another space saving mod for all classes, similiar to Cryolysis and Necrosis. The big difference is to Lua programmers, where it is easier to tweak the layout to a style you like to use. I am starting to use my own tweaked version.
Decursive 2.0	Provides one spot to monitor and decurse, cleanse, etc.
KLH Threat Meter	Great for parties to keep from outpacing the tank in estimated threat
Omen	A different threat meter that has a couple of notable benefits over KLH Threat Meter - less CPU utilization and better multiple target tracking. I have recently switched fully over to Omen, as it supports data coming in from KLH Threat Meter
Ace2 Developer Libraries	A set of development libraries that simplify the process of creating new addons
PeriodicTable-3.0	Ace2 based library that uses item id's to create associations of item type. I use the TradeskillResultsMat sub-library to get associations between craftable items and the required reagents.
OneBag	An excellent replacement for AllInOneInventory, which is not fully maintained anymore. Look at the latest.txt file to see which to download, since the WoWInterface entry is not updated regularly
OneBank	Similar to OneBag, but for your bank
OneRing	Similar to OneBag, but for the key ring
OneView	Allows you to inspect your other characters, like CharacterViewer but maintained
SpamSentry	A chat spam filter with capability to generate a GM report. Really nice for intercepting annoying spam, with the ability to not inform you of the spam received by the addon.
QuestHistory	Great way to see what quests you have done. Best used from the beginning, since WoW does not have a way to query for completed quests.
LootCount	This lets you track loot objectives that are required for the quest, but not tracked directly by the quest. The A Sample of Slime... and ... and a Batch of Ooze quests are a good example of this kind of quest. This addon is also good for grinding for items.

Links to Programs Bill Likes

Teamspeak	Great voice comm program, and for non-profit users, you can use it for free
Teamspeak Overlay	A program that hooks into DirectX to draw a list of current TS users on your server into the video buffer. It looks like the list is part of the game.
