addon incompatible

I am trying to write a simple hello world program just to get myself started writing addons. I have created the needed files and it is showing up in the addons menu in wow. However next to my addon in red writing it shows "incompatible". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the code in my TOC

##Interface:50400
##Title:Hello, World!
##Author:Me
##Version:v1.0.0
HelloWorld.lua
HelloWorld.xml

It's 54000. Not 50400. :)

No, it's 50400.

Try it like this:

Code:

## Interface: 50400

## Title: Hello, World!

## Author: Me

## Version: v1.0.0

HelloWorld.lua

HelloWorld.xml

I have tried both solutions and neither have changed it.

Is the addon for Mists of Pandaria (50400) or Warlords of Draenor Beta (60000)?

In-game:

Code:

/dump GetBuildInfo()

For reference, it goes like this: (not sure about the actual terms)

Code:

      5.      04.      00

Game ver.Major ver.Minor ver

The minor version is usually not reflected in the interface version, except for the very first release, it seems. (first MoP version was 50002 or something iirc)

We haven't had major versions in the tens since vanilla (and probably never will again, I guess), but that made the formula more clear. Version 2.1.0 was 20100, while 1.10.0 was 11000.

They are operating on three versions:

version - Something similar to Semantic Versioning, where major is the expansion, minor is the content patch, and patch is fixes (patches).
build - Internal version, we use it to differentiate interface versions
interface version - An integer version of version

All of these three, as well as the published date, is returned by GetBuildInfo.

When I used the GetBuildInfo() in game it returned the 50400. However it in not working. I am posting the toc, lua, and xml files, as well as the addon folder i am using. Thanks again for your help guys.Attachment 8220

Jaja. Sorry. I know, I know. My fault. :)

The addon does not show up as incompatible in the addons list. Even not if I test your code without any changes. *shrug*

It does not work because of the UI tag in the XML. Everything is case sensitive. It's UI and not Ui. (first and last line)

Lua Code:

<UI xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/ 
..\..\FrameXML\UI.xsd"> 
  <Script File="HelloWorld.lua"/>
  <Frame name="HelloWorldFrame">
   <Scripts>
    <OnLoad>
     HelloWorld();
    </OnLoad>
   </Scripts>
  </Frame>
</UI>

There's no need to load the lua file via the toc if you're loading it in the XML. This would be enough.

Code:

##Interface:50400

##Title:Hello, World!

##Author:Me

##Version:v1.0.0

HelloWorld.xml

Or you're removing the

Code:

<Script File="HelloWorld.lua"/>

tag from the XML and use

Code:

##Interface:50400

##Title:Hello, World!

##Author:Me

##Version:v1.0.0

HelloWorld.lua

HelloWorld.xml

instead. Just two ways to get the same thing done.

Btw: If I'm copy&paste your toc data from your first post there are leading blanks in front of some lines. Don't know where they are from ... but if this is the case in your toc too, then you'll have to remove them to have the addon loaded correctly.

It's

Code:

##Interface:50400

 ##Title:Hello, World!

 ##Author:Me

 ##Version:v1.0.0

 HelloWorld.lua

 HelloWorld.xml

right now, and it should be

Code:

##Interface:50400

##Title:Hello, World!

##Author:Me

##Version:v1.0.0

HelloWorld.lua

HelloWorld.xml

Yay. :D

Ok. I'll shut up.

Well duugu, I tried what you said anyways and still nothing. I may just try to start over entirely.
