MyFirstAddon-Tutorial not working?!

[schlachtlamm]

Hi all!

I'm new to lua and I tried to make my first Addon.
I read this Zenimax tutorial and did everything according to this tutorial but it won't work.

http://wiki.esoui.com/MyFirstAddon_t...Zenimax_Online

At the beginning, I thought I had something wrong in my lua-file oder xml-file so I did copy and paste the whole tutorial but in the end, I still get no result.

According to this tutorial I should be able to see a window / frame but ... nothing...

Can someone explain to my why I get no result? The Addon is loaded, APIVersion has been changed to 100011...

Many thanks and sorry, if it's in the wrong category.

Greetz, Schlachtlamm

I followed the instructions of the tutorial, too.
If everything is done as written there, you should have an error about an unknown function, because there is a typo in the function name: MyFirstAddOnInitialized

Therefore I guess you have to check something else: Did you enable "Show File Extensions"?
Because ESO silently ignores all files which can not be loaded.
If your files real names are "MyFirstAddon.lua.txt" or "MyFirstAddon.xml.txt" you will not get a load error.

There is another first addon example: Hello World

[schlachtlamm]

the real names are MyFirstAddon.lua and MyFirstAddon.xml, there's no problem with the filetype.

I will download this hello world addon and have a look into it.

Thanks a lot!
