iView request for update
 

It was such a fantastic addon that I got super used to using, and now without it I'm having some frustrations zooming constantly with the slow camera.

I know the life of an addon dev is pretty thankless at the best of times, but would anyone be willing to take this project on? I'm guessing it won't need much work, just a bit to get it functioning with the latest client etc.

Thanks for any assistance!

Link to the addon is here https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info722-iView.html#info

The reason I am zooming so much is because I don't have access to iView, which kept my camera at the right distance depending on the activity I was undertaking.

What is not working with the addon version? Do you get any error message?
Are you able to enable it ingame by setting he checkbox "allow oudated addons"?

Check the addon description e.g. this text about dependencies:
IMPORTANT
If the addon doesn't work, check your addon list (ESC - Addons) if there are some dependencies needed. If yes, install them!
Sometimes there is an issue in the Lib Dependencies, make sure you have LibScootworksFunctions installed too!

You might need to install this library then as standalone (like an addon, or via Minion).

I couldn't download the addon through Minion so I installed it manually. I've installed the required libs and ensured that the addon is forced to run regardless of being outdated. I see iView listed as an addon. However, there is no options menu visible in my list of other addons settings.

I've definitely tried to get the discontinued version running.

Okay, is there any error message shown in the chat or as popup if this addon is loaded?
MAybe install pChat addon (is able to show error messages BEFORE the game loads so you can see them in chat later on) and the bugeater addon to show the error messages.

Otherwise do a /reloadui in the chat after you have tried to show the settings menu. Ten check the folder c:\users\your windows user\documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\logs for the interface-log file if there is an entry of a lua error mesage about this addon.

I logged into the game with iView enabled in the addon menu. pChat comes up with "[iView Debug] This addon does not work with this game version."

I then checked the interface.log which doesn't contain any mention of iView.

Ok, the version information is all I wanted. Seems it does not load then at all and thus cannot work. It's ahrd coded into the addon then. I'll check if one can remove it.

Thank you very much for looking into it!

Open the file iView.lua with a texteditor and search for this line (line 267):

Change it to a commented line by adding the prefix --
Save the file, do a /reloadui ingame and try if it works then.

You can also change the ## ApiVersion: xxxxxx inside the iView.txt file to
##ApiVersion: 100025 100026

This will make the addon stop saying it's outdated.

FIXED! Thank you so much for the clear instructions, Baertram! I'm so glad to have this addon back--along with some healthy knowledge to be able to fix a few other addons in case they break for simple reasons in future! :)
