your minimap, as if you were a hunter. It may or may not be considered a "hack"
and may or may not result in your account being banned, for which I take no respon-
sibility whatsoever. You use this utility at your own risk.

FAQ:
Q. Is there a main support forum for this program?
A. Most questions will be or have been answered at the following address:
http://www.!@#$%^&*.com/viewtopic.php?t=260000
Q. The program is not allowing me to click any of the CheckBoxes, what can I do?
A. This program makes use of pointers that are sometimes very unstable. Try walk-
ing a few steps, changing zones, running indoors or outdoors, logging in and
out, closing and reopening World of Warcraft, and even restarting your computer
(in that order) if you cannot get these to work. Please contact me with any
bugs you may be experiencing, or if you are having any trouble. Contact info
is provided at the beginning of this document.
Q. What does "File -> Keep Tracking On" do?
A. Since this program only writes to WoW's memory when you check or uncheck a
checkbox it does not have to be running for the tracking abilities to be enabled.
By setting "Keep Tracking On" to On (a checkmark will appear next to the menu
item), the program will not reset your Tracking and Finding abilities to zero
when the program exits. By setting it to Off, as soon as you close the program,
you will no longer be able to track anything. This may be useful if you have to
quickly turn Tracking/Finding off to avoid detection, though I don't see that
happening anytime soon.
Q. What does "File -> Automatically Update Pointer" do?
A. Since the 1.3.0 (4284) patch, many users have been complaining that this program
crashes WoW frequently and without notice. By keeping this setting off, Overseer
will not continuously access WoW's memory in any way. It will find a pointer
at program start, and then you need to manually update it by either setting a
Hotkey via "File -> Hotkeys..." or by clicking "File -> Update Pointer" each
time you change continents or enter/exit an instance. It will then loop until
another valid pointer is found and re-enable Tracking/Finding. I recommend only
turning this setting on if you are using this program with any WoW Version before
1.3.0 (4284).
Q. What does "File -> Update Pointer" do?
A. Read above.
Q. Can you please explain Hotkeys?
Hotkeys will allow you to make changes to this program quickly without minimizing
WoW. There are 16 Hotkeys available in this version:
Toggle Tracking On/Off: Temporarily turns tracking off or restores it.
Update Pointer: Use this to re-enable tracking after changing continents
or exiting or entering an instance.
Close Program: This will immediately close Overseer.
Enable All: Turns all tracking on.
Disable All: Turns all tracking off.
Enable All Except Critters: Turns all tracking except critters on.
Toggle Track x: Check or uncheck the corresponding box.
To set a hotkey, go to "File -> Hotkeys..." and select the action you'd like to
hotkey from the list. Next, click the "Set Hotkey" button and then press a key
or combination of keys. The hotkey will be set when you press a key other than
Ctrl, Alt, or Shift.
For example, if I wanted to set "Close Program" to Hotkey Ctrl+Shift+F12, I would
first go to "File -> Hotkeys..." and select 'Set "Close Program" Hotkey' from the
dropdown list. Next, I would click the "Set Hotkey" button and notice that its
text changes from "Set Hotkey" to "Press Key Combination or Click to Erase Hotkey."
I would then press and hold Ctrl, press and hold Shift, and press F12 to set the
Hotkey. If I later wanted to clear that hotkey, I would select it from the list
and click the "Set Hotkey" button twice to clear it.
Q. What does Find Miscellaneous find, exactly?
A. Good question. The answer is: I really don't know. It will show you barrels of
water, crates of food, certain crates and chests which are opened as part of
quests, the Easter Eggs found on Easter (little late for that, I know; my sincere
apologies), and probably some other miscellaneous things. Enable it and find out.
Q. I absolutely cannot live without this program and I would like to show you my
undying gratitude! How would I do that!?
A. Donations are always welcome, though never necessary. My paypal address is

could not scroll down.
