​
Requirements

  • World of Warcraft (Retail) with the WGG unlocker installed. There is no standalone runtime — the addon only runs inside the game through WGG.
  • No build step, package manager, or test runner. The repository is loaded as-is.

​
Install

1

Place the repository

Put the repository where WGG loads its scripts.
2

Verify the load manifest

Ensure loadorder.json is present at the repository root. It is the manifest WGG reads to load every file in the correct order — a Lua file that is not listed there never loads.
3

Launch the game

Start World of Warcraft with WGG. Once in-game, open the settings window via the minimap button or by typing /volvox.

​
Data locations

LootRoute reads and writes data under Windows paths used by WGG’s file API:
PathPurpose
C:/WGG/scripts/GathererBundled scripts and routes (route/<name>.json)
C:/WGG/GathererDataUser-writable persistent data (for example, automatic blacklist files)
C:/WGG/scripts/LootRoute/DemonGUISettings<CharacterName><RealmName>.jsonPer-character JSON settings; realm whitespace is stripped
Settings are stored through volvox.Config and namespaced with dotted keys (e.g. gatherer.enabled, general.tickrate, modules.gatherer). Edit them through the in-game settings window rather than by hand.
