Well, some guides come free. Some don't. What makes a paid guide a paid guide?

For example, downloading RXPGuides-4.11.21 from curseforge showed me that someone put a significant amount of guides in the Classic-0.5.lua file and the Deathknight.lua file of the AddOn hosted in post #1 of this thread. They appear to be in the same format with no obvious code obfuscation, so this just tells me that either these guides were somehow decoded to be in such a format, or they were just merely pasted into different files than one would expect. Perhaps there is some sort of BattleTag validator that is done and by appending the guides to these particular files, someone gets around this. Again, merely curiosity and an unwillingness to spend $50 perhaps unnecessarily.

Please provide clear answers to these questions so I can properly assess the situation rather than having to guess.

1. Yes
2. Extract with Windows, unzip
3. You mean, delete Cache ?

People are often unwilling to explain what they have done, what software they are using, or how they installed it. Yet they expect others to understand their setup and identify the problem without being given any relevant information.

Once they get what they want, however, they have very little to say.

In this case, the issue appears to stem from their own actions. Rather than verifying whether the file was compatible with the software they were using, considering an alternative, or confirming that the installation had been completed correctly, they chose to blame the file itself.

There also seems to be a reluctance to pay for the guides, despite the fact that those guides appear to provide considerably more value and assistance than is being acknowledged.

Ultimately, there are two practical options:

1. Purchase the guides and make use of the information and support they provide.
2. Take responsibility for the installation by ensuring that the software is compatible, the correct procedures are followed, and everything is configured properly.

Calling it curiosity does not change the situation. Genuine curiosity involves taking the initiative to investigate, learn, and work through the process independently. If the intention were truly to explore and understand how everything works, there would be an effort to develop a guide or find a solution rather than simply blaming the provided files.

Added

As I mentioned previously, I developed a beta add-on designed to load Dugi, Zygor, and RestedXP (RXP) guides. The add-on was also intended to track your in-game activities, generate a guide based on your gameplay, and allow you to optimize that guide to suit your needs.

However, when I asked beta testers for feedback, the response I received was simply, “RXP only.”

Given the lack of interest in supporting anything beyond RXP, I ultimately abandoned the project.

The intention was to create something more versatile than a conventional guide loader: an add-on that could accommodate multiple guide systems while also generating personalized, optimizable guides based on the player’s own actions. Unfortunately, without sufficient interest or meaningful feedback from testers, there was little incentive to continue development.

I believe you are misunderstanding me. I explained thoroughly what I did. I didn't say there was or wasn't an issue; if you'll notice, all I asked was if the Forever 1-35(30) guide was included in the file in your post #1. This quickly became you accusing me of distrust by looking at file structure (curiosity). I didn't suspect there was anything related to an extraction issue as I could look at the files before I even extracted them. Yet, despite this, you immediately suspected I was somehow incapable of extracting files properly?

Ya, obviously there's a reluctance to pay for the guide lmao? You're posting on a specific forum designed to get shit for free and you're surprised people are trying to avoid paying for things?

I think simply stating, "yes the file structure doesn't match the official guide's file structure; I merely upload files that have the guides appended in random files, you are correct" was all that was required.

Instead, you essentially accused me of being unable to extract files properly lmao.

I was nothing but kind and thankful in my initial question, which again, didn't claim or didn't claim the files worked or didn't work, I just wanted to confirm the guide to 35(30) was included.

I delete the old Rested, download 7zip and put the new in the addon folder

and no guides:[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

I provide these resources for free, so I understand why people expect them to be free. That’s not the issue. The issue is people complaining, harassing, and accusing those who try to help them, then wondering why they receive no further support.

People blame the file instead of checking what they did wrong. If someone who doesn’t speak English can explain their actions and resolve the issue, why can’t others?

Everyone receives the same file, yet some claim the guides are missing. Perhaps they should check whether they extracted everything correctly or used the right software before blaming the file.

And if you want to laugh, remember this: the guides are available in the same file everyone else receives. The problem is not necessarily the file, but how you use it.

You still haven’t clarified whether you previously had the add-on installed or deleted its SavedVariables.

This is exactly why troubleshooting takes so many posts: people leave out essential details about what they did. Look how long it took to establish that you used the Windows built-in extractor, which may not extract all the files correctly.

where can i find the old SavedVariables ? that i can delete it ?

If you had clarified from the beginning whether you already had the add-on installed, I could have provided an answer much sooner. However, you still haven’t confirmed whether you had it installed or not.

It took considerable time just to determine which tool you used to extract the files. The extractor itself does not even extract the files properly, leaving them incomplete.

Now you are asking about the saved variables, even though I asked you about this earlier. Please check your WoW directory, locate the RXP Angel folder, and delete it.

I also have no way of knowing when you downloaded the add-on or whether you are using the latest version.

This is why I don’t understand why resolving this issue is taking so long. The main problem is that the necessary information was not provided from the beginning, which made troubleshooting much more difficult than it needed to be.

Okay, i do it now.

Thats my Steps:

1. Delete all xrp files in saved variables
2. Delete the addon
3. downoad again RXPGuides-v4.11.21.rar
4. unzip with 7zip
5. put it in wow addon folder
6. start wow
7. same as the beginning no guides
8. My fault xD

I kinda have the same problem.
Freshly installed WoW, no rested xp addon installed before.
Downloaded RXPGuides-v4.11.22.rar from page 1, put it into the addon folder.
startet wow, on char selection addon tells me its installed but ingame there is nothing. the /rxp commands doesnt work, as if the addon is not installed.

My brother in christ, where did I say the issue was with use or that I even used it? I was essentially using your kindly hosted file as a way to check what the paid guides look like from a file structure perspective. I asked if it was included to not have to spend 12+ hours getting a character to 20 to see if the guide actually would start to get you to 30 with the new Forever route. You are very kind to host these files, but I feel like you've read so many people complaining about not being able to install an AddOn despite it being straightforward that you have forced any question into the bucket of "user is a retard."

My initial question stemmed from the, wrong, assumption that your uploaded file would have a similar file structure to the actual paid version(s). Have a good one.

I find it interesting that people want to check the file. But look through so many files.
But they want to look for one thing
. Literally just one thing. But do not look for that one thing. I can find that one thing in about 15 seconds. But people look everywhere except for that one thing.
