XrystalUI - Development

Version: 9.0.5.38134.0a - [Anchor and Slash Command Systems]

by: Xrystal [More]

Preamble

Aiming to be the next generation of nUI this Interface Addon will be written from the bottom up. It will include all those features we love in nUI (eventually) and the flexibility that has been requested ( where possible ) and if time and energy permits and of course opportunity, something more.

This will be a project of many years by which time nUI may be on its last legs with another expansion around the corner and can safely retire. But until then this can be an alternate option for those that are having trouble with nUI due to its clunkiness.

I will of course not be abandoning nUI and this will be a side project to spend time on in between nUI coding and playing during my WOW time.

It will stay in Development mode until I am happy it is ready for release. But it also has an equal chance of not being completed. Only time will tell.

How will it differ

Where nUI was written before the ability to share addon-wide data between files there are a lot of global values floating out there that are not necessary. XrystalUI will utilise the new API as much as possible to help keep the code modular and localised where possible. The only public values out of the addon will be main frame names and functions/modules that third party addons may wish to utilise.

Localization can now be handled by a simple third party addon to add any additional languages. enUS and enGB are the only ones in XrystalUI. Each module and feature will have it's own localization file which will merge its translations into the main one.

XrystalUI will have a trinity of functionality.
Core files will be the backbone of the addon and will include any functionality that has to exist for features to work.
Feature files will be the skeleton of the addon and will include functionality that is a necessity.
Module files will be the flesh of the addon and will include that functionality that can be deactivated and activated by choice.
The AddOn will be coded so that each module will be self contained and will have minimal code impact on the addon as a whole. which should help restrict which areas to investigate when errors occur.

Classic/Retail

If I plan to work around differences in game versions from the get go it may be future proof.
It will, however, mean that the version numbering will change and the TOC Interface will be always out.
I will cross that bridge when I get to the point of worrying over compatibility in the long term.

Why do I bother saying this rofl. I think I won't play again ( I haven't for several years now outside of making sure I have 1 character at max level and at least 2 more at the previous max level ) but then Blizzard throw in an expansion with features that make me interested again.

However, the version of this WIP addon as it is will likely not exist. But I haven't forgotten the nUI users that need a better version that doesn't error out if you breathe on it wrong rofl. Bandaging it up each expansion and sometimes each major update is starting to be a pain.

That said. I wanted to say that I won't be doing anything more with this skeleton of an addon. But, with wow's more flexible UI system I feel a custom UI is less of a requirement now - at least for myself.

So, this is permission for anyone who wants it, feel free to grab the current code and utilise it for your own addon.

Xrystal nUI Maintainer Forum posts: 5919 File comments: 228 Uploads: 28	Status If you haven't seen my developer post after Dragonflight was announced you won't have realised that I have decided to come back for another 6 months at least of Dragonflight gameplay. This means, as soon as I am able, I will be bringing any broken addons up to speed where able to. And continuing this project. I have been rethinking things though as I noticed several issues when trying to make the base addon all inclusive. So, instead, I will have the base addon actually be multiple addons that can be individually turned on or off as needed, all with their own separate functionality and their own personal link to any needed addons to work. This will mean ( hopefully ) that those that like the infopanel type system of nUI but the bar system of Bartender4 will be able to do both. So, the base addon will probably be very light and will most likely handle the module addons so that they are loaded in the right order and have access to the right stuff ( hopefully ). __________________ Characters: Gwynedda - 70 - Demon Warlock Galaviel - 65 - Resto Druid Gamaliel - 61 - Disc Priest Gwynytha - 60 - Survival Hunter Lienae - 60 - Resto Shaman Plus several others below level 60 Info Panel IDs : http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...818#post136818

It was never get it done as soon as possible addon, more a get it started and work on it when the mood takes me and hopefully have it finished before nUI is beyond patching, which is obviously a priority when deciding which addon needs to be worked on. I haven't been playing the game recently, or in fact any games, so my addons haven't been looked at either. When my brain is back into gear on the project I will get back to it. Was there anything specific you were looking forward to ? I have a few ideas in my head but implementing them is the time taker due to lack of knowledge and ability. But I have time. __________________ Characters: Gwynedda - 70 - Demon Warlock Galaviel - 65 - Resto Druid Gamaliel - 61 - Disc Priest Gwynytha - 60 - Survival Hunter Lienae - 60 - Resto Shaman Plus several others below level 60 Info Panel IDs : http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...818#post136818
