Weakauras: Custom Textures

chumii · 12-09-11, 09:56 AM

Hey,

i want to make a bar for dk runepower with weakauras.. i want to have it a triangle shape.
So i simply made a new .tga, like its shown in Powerauras wiki, named it "Aura146.tga" and saved it into the Poweraura-Texture folde inside the weakauras folder.
Now i added this line

[WeakAuras.PowerAurasPath.."Aura146"] = "Triangle"

to "Types.lua".. but now my weakauras wont load any settings.. i cant edit exisiting auras.. well i can add a new one, but the right side of the ingame setting window is completly empty..

anyone here who can tell me how i can add that texture into weakauras? or maybe my .tga is broken.. anyone got a working triangle shape?

If the addon itself broke in a drastic way due to adding that line, my suspicion is that the table syntax was broken in the process. If you're adding a line to a table, make sure that the previous line ends with a comma. E.g.

Code:

[WeakAuras.PowerAurasPath.."Aura145"] = "Taijitu Top",
[WeakAuras.PowerAurasPath.."Aura146"] = "Triangle"

and not

Code:

[WeakAuras.PowerAurasPath.."Aura145"] = "Taijitu Top"
[WeakAuras.PowerAurasPath.."Aura146"] = "Triangle"

Note that I'm not sure if this is the correct way to add textures to WeakAuras or if other things must also be done, etc. I've never edited the addon myself. But based on your description of things severely breaking, I'd guess this is why that part happened.

As for the rest, I'm not really qualified to answer since I've never done this myself.

My guess is what Barjack assumed also. You must be getting a Lua error from this. It will tell you exactly what is wrong and where in the file. Make sure that you don't have Lua errors hidden in Interface Options.
