New Addon Template Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.29

by: Phuein [More]

Gift me @phuein in-game, if you have extra crowns and appreciate my addons. (Can even ask which DLC I missed.) Thank you!

This is not a game addon and it does nothing meaningful.

Requirements:

LibAddonMenu-2.0 >= 28

This is a template for new addons. I often use these features when making or upgrading an addon. It is intended to be a "blank slate" to work with quickly and efficiently. Easier to remove a few code blocks, than it is to write them from scratch.

Included in this template are the following:

Manifest.
Keybinding.
LibAddonMenu-2.0 with all the default menu options.
Multiple language support.
Chat output, an animated announcement (center), and an alert (top-right.)
A slash command: "/newaddon".
Colors.
XML UI elements.
Notification when loaded for the first time.
Events handled: EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED, EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED, zo_callLater() [which uses RegisterForUpdate().]
Toggle savedVars per character or account-wide.

More useful features can be added in time. I welcome all code input, improvements, and requests. I suggest opening all of the project's files together (except the external libraries,) to see how they interact; from language, to hotkeys, to menus.

Writing addons shouldn't be about hunting for code online, but rather focusing on functionality and aesthetics.

1.29
- Added the AddOnVersion identifier, for other addons to match against if needed.

1.28
- Removed included LibStub and LibAddonMenu. Those are now external requirements.

1.27
- Updated the slash commands autocomplete.

1.26
- Fix.

1.25
- Minor tweaks.
- Added support for character/account savedVariables, with a toggle in settings.

1.23
- Minor tweaks.

1.2
- Settings code is easier to modify and improved.

1.1
- Bugfixes.
- Separated Settings menu to its own file.
- Changed some code format for readability.

1.0
- Core functionality for most addons. Full list in the description page.

Anyway thx as well for this

Is there a reason behind it, like can you get in any kind of trouble if its missing or is it just for "fun" (dont know a better word, "own pleasure" sounds even more wrong) lol

I'm not a lawyer and see no reason to specify anything legal in my addons. The above are also all listed in their ToS agreements, which we all Accept when we play the game. Don't think anybody ever got into trouble over this. If a Zeni' representative contacted me, I would make the appropriate modifications they require - probably.

You're welcome!

Somehow your txt file (or whatever the reason is) got a wrong encoding or something that disturbs the ingame addon manager, as it seems? If I copied the contents of the files to some files I had created (from a working addon) and just renamed my files all was shown and working well. So it must have to do with encoding or similar.

Hey Baertram. That's odd. I just tried it, and it loads normally. Shows up in the in-game addon manager, and also in the Settings -> Addons menu.

Checking the NewAddon.txt file, Notepad reports the encoding as UTF-8, as expected and normal. I'd expect other addons to show the same issue, if there was a general issue with the text file.

Are you using ESO in English or another language? And did you modify the txt or any other files, before just trying to load the addon as-is? Maybe copied the addon to the wrong folder by mistake?
