Azeroth Survivors addons: install ZIPs and choose a useful tool

The original browser game includes an addon installer in Options → AddOns. Choose an addon ZIP there, enable the installed addon and start your next run. You can use the game’s own menu without a separate addon manager.

Install an addon in the browser

1. Read the author’s installation instructions and download the addon ZIP from their project or release page.
2. Open the original game, then Options → AddOns → Install AddOns.
3. Select the ZIP itself. The browser installer reads the archive; you do not need to unpack it first.
4. Check the installation message and enable the addon in the list.
5. Start a new run to load it. The game says addon enable settings apply to every hero.

The installer identifies addons by their .toc files. An archive without a recognized addon produces a “no addon” message. Prefer the author’s packaged release when one is provided; an unrelated source archive is not necessarily an install package.

Three author-maintained projects to consider

AZS Spell Meter’s v1.31 notes say it was tested with game v0.113.3. Its damage figures use the game’s own meter, while its DPS window can be adjusted. Keep the same time window when comparing runs; a short burst and a whole-run average answer different questions.

Azerloot’s v2.5.2 release adds support for selecting talent-dependent starting spells in a planned build. Its author asks players updating the downloaded game to restart fully. Keep the planner’s chosen starting spell aligned with the talents you actually equipped.

nfUI’s README explains how to find the nfUI folder inside a GitHub source archive. The checked release entry has no packaged ZIP attachment, so follow the project’s instructions rather than assuming a release asset exists. Its author currently warns that the compass cannot track battleground caches. Choose it for the HUD controls it documents rather than assuming it locates every cache.

Updates and browser storage

The browser installer stores addon files in this game site’s browser database and reads them before the client starts. Installing another ZIP with the same addon name replaces that addon’s installed files. Keep the author’s ZIP if you want to reinstall it later or move to another browser profile.

Addons and exported hero saves are separate systems. The inspected installer does not establish that a .sav export includes installed addon packages. Preserve your game save separately before clearing site data.

If an addon does not appear

Read the installation message, then start a new run. Check the AddOns list for a missing dependency or an out-of-date label. The game offers Load out of date AddOns, with a warning that an addon made for another version may not work.

For a new problem after an update, disable the last addon you added and retry before changing the rest of your setup. Introduce one HUD replacement at a time so you can see which tool changes a panel. Use the author’s issue tracker with your game version, addon version and exact error. These are third-party projects; their documented features are not a guarantee of compatibility with every later game build.
