ShaguTweaks Extras ClassicAPI: what moved where

Since version 3.7 the modules of Dusk's ShaguTweaks Extras ClassicAPI are part of this addon, so you no longer need to install it. This page lists where every module went, what was left out and why.

Copied from Extras commit 8e14bb4 (2026-09-18). Credits and licenses are in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.

What to do when updating

From 3.8.6, Cooldown Numbers uses ClassicAPI's native countdown text when countdownForCooldowns is enabled. It preserves ShaguTweaks' colors, rounding and duration threshold. The addon leaves that global CVar unchanged; when it is off, or the required native APIs are unavailable, the existing Lua renderer continues to work. Legacy Model indicators retain their sweep and use a native child for numbers when supported.

For custom-module authors: 3.8.6 removes unused ShaguTweaks.L data sections bagtypes, itemtypes, hunterpaging, critters, dyndebuffs, judgements, interrupts, resurrections, spells, debuffs and totems. The class and customcast sections remain. Custom modules using the removed tables must supply their own data or use client APIs.

Install this addon (3.7 or newer).
Disable or delete the ShaguTweaks-extras folder in Interface\AddOns. While it stays enabled, its older copies replace the built-in ones, and a message in chat reminds you at login.
Your on/off choices carry over, because the modules kept their names.

The textures these modules use (the gryphons and the XP bar) moved to this addon's img folder.

Left out, and why

Module	Reason
Raid Frames, with all its options (Show Aggro Indicators, Show Combat Feedback, Use Compact Layout, Show Dispel Indicators, Show Group Headers, Show Healing Predictions, Hide Party Frames, Use As Party Frames)	Not wanted in this fork. I use Puppeteer for Raid/Party/Focus frames.
Bag Item Click and Bag Search Bar	Bagshui already has a search box and sends items to trade, the auction house and mail on right-click.
Auction Alt-Buy	aux already buys out or cancels with Alt+click on a row.

Removed later

Module	Version	Reason
Key-Down Casting and Alt Self-Cast	3.7.1	ClassicAPI now has the game's own `ActionButtonUseKeyDown` setting. Type `/console ActionButtonUseKeyDown 1` once instead. Details in the changelog.
Debuff Timer	3.8	TargetFrameBuff already provides target buff/debuff countdowns with ClassicAPI. Use its timer settings instead of running overlapping timers in ShaguTweaks.
Auto Dismount	3.8.1	ClassicAPI provides Auto Dismount, Auto Stand and Auto Cancel Form.
AoE Loot	3.8.6	Removed in favor of a dedicated area-looting addon. Use AutoAreaLoot for this functionality; check its README for required dependencies. The old ShaguTweaks setting is retired automatically.
Nameplate Castbar, Nameplate Scale and Nameplate Class Colors	3.8	Enabling these together with another nameplate addon can cause conflicts because both addons modify the same nameplates. Use one dedicated nameplate addon instead; alternatives are listed below.
