Installation

Get started with Raid Consumable Checker by following these simple installation steps. The addon is standalone with no dependencies required.

​
Choose your installation method

You can install the addon using either direct download (recommended for most users) or Git clone (for advanced users).

​
Verify installation

After installation, verify that your folder structure is correct. Your directory should look like this: 
World of Warcraft/
└── Interface/
    └── AddOns/
        └── RaidConsumableChecker/
            ├── Core/
            │   ├── RaidConsumableChecker_Buffs.lua
            │   ├── RaidConsumableChecker_Config.lua
            │   ├── RaidConsumableChecker_Core.lua
            │   └── RaidConsumableChecker_UI.lua
            ├── RaidConsumableChecker.toc
            └── RaidConsumableChecker_Constants.lua
Common installation mistake: Make sure you don’t have nested folders. The structure should be:
  • ❌ Incorrect: AddOns/RaidConsumableChecker-main/RaidConsumableChecker/
  • ✅ Correct: AddOns/RaidConsumableChecker/

​
Confirm the addon is loaded

Once you’ve installed and reloaded, check that the addon is active:
1

Check the character selection screen

At the character selection screen, click the AddOns button in the bottom-left corner. You should see “Raid Consumable Checker” in the list with a checkmark.If it’s not checked, enable it and click Okay.
2

Look for the welcome message

When you log into the game, you should see a welcome message in your chat window:
Raid Consumable Checker: v2.1.0 loaded. Type /rcc or /raidcheck to open.
3

Test the slash command

Type /rcc in the chat and press Enter. The Raid Consumable Checker window should appear on your screen.
If you’re upgrading from v1.x, you’ll also see an additional message: “Data migrated from legacy configuration file.” This means your old settings have been automatically imported.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Verify your folder structure matches the example above
  • Make sure the folder is named exactly RaidConsumableChecker (case-sensitive on some systems)
  • Check that the .toc file is present in the main folder
  • Try restarting WoW completely instead of using /reload
  • Confirm the addon is enabled in the AddOns menu at character selection
  • Try /reload to refresh the UI
  • Check for any Lua errors using /console scriptErrors 1
  • Verify that no other addon is conflicting with the same slash command
  • Make sure you downloaded the complete addon (all files)
  • Verify you’re running WoW version 1.12.x (Vanilla)
  • Try deleting the WTF/Account/[YourAccount]/SavedVariables/RaidConsumableChecker.lua file and restarting
  • Disable other addons to check for conflicts
