Project Ascension uses a Wrath of the Lich King 3.3.5a core as it's base, and as such it is compatible with any addon that was made for the 3.3.5 version of the game, or is otherwise compatible (if made for a prior version of World of Warcraft.)
Installing Addons on Project Ascension[]
The AddOns Directory
Installing Addons is very easy, requiring the player to only copy a few files. Once the game is installed, all AddOns should be extracted/placed in your Ascension Install\Interface\AddOns
AddOns may have only 1 folder for the AddOn or may have multiple modules for the same AddOn.
If you extract an AddOn to the folder and it does not show up in-game, double check that it has been installed correctly.
Inside each AddOn folder there should be a file that is "addon-name".toc.
Once an addon has been installed, the player can then view and enable/disable addons from the Character Selection screen in-game from the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.
Finding Addons for Project Ascension[]
There are many sites and resources for finding Addons for this version of the game.
Popular sites are:
These sites host Addons for all versions of World of Warcraft, when finding an Addon, make sure to browse the repository for that Addon to see if it has a Wrath of the Lich King 3.3.5 or slightly earlier version.
A site specifically catering to older Addons is:
And there is also the #addons channel of the Ascension Discord which hosts a few commonly used Addons.
Troubleshooting Addon Issues on Project Ascension[]
There may be some issues with Addons related to Project Ascension's custom features, specifically the Classless feature in relation to previously class specific/limited abilities.
The Hero class on Ascension is based on the Druid class of normal WoW, and as such, all Addons will see Heroes as Druids, and may disable certain features to that class.
Totem Bars may not appear, range indicators may not work, pet happiness may not display, Rage and Energy may not display, while Rage and Energy can be added through Ascension's custom UI Resources addon, the others may require editing by the user to have them work properly.
On many addons, TotemBars can easily be added by editing the Addons files to change any reference of a SHAMAN class to that of a DRUID.
Releases after 6-22-2010 and before 10-12-2010 are likely ideal.
