Missing screenshot + addon folder : (

by yvr » Fri Aug 28, 2015 3:20 pm

Hey guys!
I've just recently joined the Nostalrius server and finding it really great. As this is my first time playing classic, I've been taking screenshots along my journey. However, just before I went to look for my screenshots and can't find any in the folder. Am I correct in saying that after downloading the Nostalrius package, it creates a folder called 'World of Warcraft Classic' in /programfiles(x86) ? After this I tried to download some addons but there's also no 'Addons' in the Interface folder at all.

Can anyone figure out the cause? I've tried creating an 'addons' folder, but it didn't work : ( Also the only thing in my 'Screenshots' folder is a file called TGAtoJPG.exe. Kinda bummed out that this entire time all the fun screenshots I'd been taken have dissapeared :/

Thanks for your help!

I didn't get my client through this website so I can't help you with screenshots, but as for addons...
In your World of Warcraft directory, if you don't have it, create a folder "Interface", within that folder create another folder "AddOns" and place all your addson in that folder. When you log in you should see a little button in lower left corner of character selection saying "Addons".

First, I suggest trying to take a screenshot, see if that creates a screenshot folder.
If that doesn't work, create a folder called "Screenshots" w/o the quotations, and try taking another.

If it doesn't work after that, it is either saving them somewhere else, which is weird, or try downloading 1.12.1 WoW from another source.

Sometimes the Nostalrius client also installs some files (screenshots, WDB, WTF folders) to a different directory than you would expect. There is a post somewhere on these forums about it, and if I recall correct the directory was "C:/Users/<account>/AppData/Local/Virtual", although I probably misremember.. either way it is in one of the folders in the AppData/ folder, so if I'm mistaken you could try searching for it

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft Classic

See if that location exists on your computer and if so, look in there.
