Installation

Manually install the add-on by moving the files to the WoW directory. For example : C:\Program Files\Battle.net\World of Warcraft\_classic_era_\Interface\AddOns\HardcoreCongrats. This can vary depending on your WoW installation.

Add your language

You can add support for your language by adding a new language file in /Localization/

To ease the process, the server message is automatically fetched and displayed in the add-on options panel. This will prevent you from having troubles because of the special characters Blizzard throw in there! Just replace the name of the character with REGEX ((.-) is used for EN and FR language) and translate the few lines.

Once this is done, save the file in /Localization/YOURLANGUAGECODE.lua Do not forget to add a line in HardcoreCongrats.toc! You can also make a PR or send me the file so I can add your language to the next release.

Change the messages sent to the players

If you feel like it, you can easily change the list of message sent to players. Just edit local congratsMessages = {} in the HardcoreCongrats.lua file.
