Earlier spell-resistance tooltip addon.
See what your resistance stats could mean in combat. BuxbrewResist adds estimated damage reduction and partial-resist chances to the resistance tooltips in your character panel. You can also check your stats in chat with /buxres.
Designed for the WoW 1.12 client.
Installation
Exit the game completely. If you already copied the addon while the game was running, close the game and start it again.
Place the BuxbrewResist folder inside your game's Interface\AddOns folder. The files should be directly inside it:
Interface\AddOns\BuxbrewResist\BuxbrewResist.toc
Interface\AddOns\BuxbrewResist\BuxbrewResist.lua
Start the game. At character selection, click AddOns and make sure BuxbrewResist is enabled.
Log in and open your character panel to try it.
Installing a new addon requires a full game restart. /reload refreshes addons the client already knows about; it does not make a newly installed addon appear. Logging out to character selection is not enough either.
If BuxbrewResist is missing from the AddOns list, check that you installed it in the same game folder you launch and that there is no extra folder around it (such as BuxbrewResist\BuxbrewResist\BuxbrewResist.toc). Then restart the game.
For edits to the Lua code of an addon that is already loaded, /reload is enough. After installing an update, a full restart is the simplest way to ensure all changes are picked up.
