Description:
--------------------
_NPCScan tracks seldom-seen rare mobs by proximity alone, making the old /targetexact macros obsolete. It has the same range as those targeting macros, but you won't have to mash any buttons. Just go about your business and let _NPCScan alert you when it finds something.

The Cache
This addon doesn't use nameplates or mouseover units to find rares. Instead, it checks your creature cache for the moment a rare mob is found. There is one catch to this technique however: Once a mob is found, _NPCScan won't be able to find it again until your cache is cleared. If you find a rare mob's corpseDirkee for exampleyou would have to clear your cache before _NPCScan would find Dirkee again. Thankfully, clearing your cache is a safe and simple matter.
Clearing Your Cache
To clear your cache, follow these straightforward steps:Exit World of Warcraft.Delete the Cache sub-directory inside your World of Warcraft folder. For example on a standard Windows XP installation, you would delete the folder C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Cache.Advanced users can delete C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Cache\WDB\enUS\creaturecache.wdb specifically to improve log-in times, where enUS is your language code.
Note: Windows Vista and Windows 7 users see this info if your cache isn't in the location above.That's it. Log in after you've done that and you'd be able to find Dirkee a second time. It's completely safe because WoW will recreate your Cache folder after you log in again.

If a rare mob is already cached when you log in, _NPCScan will pr...
