Help the Noob 8 )

On Curse there is an addon that I like very much. Demonicon.

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...ject-4469.aspx

What I like the best is that when the inital button is clicked, it "flowers" several new buttons around the original. I have pulled most of the junk away from it, leaving the core. But, the author was smart enough to have it look to the spell books. Trying to parse that out has left me pulling my hair out over the last several days. I was wondering if someone could look at the code and maybe change it so the spells are in a table (I have them all so there is no reason to lookup). I could then use the back bone to build others.

There are two files for Luna. One Servitas that has some of the button management and Demonicon that seems to load the button. If they could be combined into one lua that would be cool.

If you got a lot of time to kill, I would love the help. I do not know why everyone use the long single bar for "child" buttons. I think the circular array is much more convenient. Maybe this will initiate a rebirth of its use.

Trimed down Demonicon:
BINDING_HEADER_DEMONOMICON_PETHEADER = 'Demonomicon'


if select(2, UnitClass('player')) ~= 'WARLOCK' then return; end
if not Servitas then
local oldHandler = geterrorhandler()
seterrorhandler(
function (...)
print(...)
seterrorhandler(oldHandler)
end
)

end

Why would you want to use a table instead of the spell book? Using the spell book means it always works with the player's spells. Tables always end up broken as soon as Bliz changes anything at all and don't work across multiple languages.

well, it does not pull up Inferno or Doomguard. My knowledge of the syntax is not strongh enough to parse the logic that looks at the spellbook. I can not emmulate what was done to create other buttons like it. I lke the "child" buttons, but Necrosis, Lunar and other mod put them out in a long line.

I spent a few more hours trying to figure this out. I now think that is impossible to figure out without more of the "guts" of the game. This Addon seems to look in the warlock spell book and identifies textures rather than the names of the spells. As the button textures are recycled what they represent is context dependent.

Does anyone know of a list where the texture is shown along with its root location/name?

to wit

Demonomicon.SummonTab = [[Interface\Icons\Spell_Shadow_Metamorphosis]]

this does not mean the warlock spell metamorphosis, it must mean the icon, which is used on the warlocks "demon" tab.

There is a function called ( if I remember rightly ) GetSpellInfo. One of the items returned is the path to the spells texture icon. There is also I think GetSpellIcon or something similarly named just to get the texture. One I think is taken from the book and another is from the spellID or spellName itself.

Edit: Ah nope it was GetSpellTexture. Here are the two links to those functions on the wowwiki interface pages.

http://www.wowwiki.com/API_GetSpellTexture
http://www.wowwiki.com/API_GetSpellInfo

I use GetSpellInfo in my addons and can validate the existence in the spellbook by testing it against the SpellLink instead of the SpellID. The former will fail if you don't know the spell yet and the latter will give you the information. It is how I got the portal/teleport spells to display even if you had never learnt them yet.

This page has an example of reading through the spellbook to grab the spell information available there :

http://www.wowwiki.com/API_GetSpellName

But, as to a list nope, you would probably have to trawl through the wowhead database for that information and even then it may not tell you the texture path.

thanks for the tip. I will look into it. If I was really motivated, I would make a relationship database that would allow the user to view the icons as if presented in the macro design

Yeah -- there's no built in table for such information... you would have to create one and maintain it every time there's a new patch -- something I have been aggressively avoiding because that's exactly the kind of stuff that causes mods to break and get abandoned over time.

The best solution is a programmatic one such as what Xrystal has provided you.

Good Point. I will do my best to implement it. I am a "tinker". I know what an item is supposed to do (in this case the addon) and take it apart to figure out how it was done. Now with your help, I sorta understand it. I will probably go back and try and parse some of the more complicated aspects of the addon.
