You should now have a folder structure something like this:ĪceConfig-3.0 AceConfigCmd-3.0 AceConfigDialog-3.0 AceConfigDropdown-3.0 AceConfigRegistry-3.0 For more information on these libraries, please see the Ace3 API docs There are lots of Ace3 libraries for you to use, but for this tutorial we only need some of them. Then go ahead and delete all of the new folders and files except these: Unzip it into a folder called Libs in your addon's directory. This is the most recent build of the Ace libraries. At this point the easiest way to do this is to download them from the Ace SVN files mirror and put them on your system. This means you need to get local copies of the libraries you intend to use. Ace3 uses a concept called “Embedded Libraries” that allows mod developers to have the libraries in their codebase without actually duplicating the code when it is loaded along side other mods that use the same libraries. Since this tutorial is about learning to create addons using Ace3, it is time for us to go ahead and bring those libraries into our addon. Go ahead and make sure that it is enabled before exiting out of that screen and then out of the game. After logging in, you should be able to click the “AddOns” button in the lower left and see that your AddOn is being recognized by the game. Then create an empty text file called a in the same directory and start up WoW. TOC file, for a more comprehensive list see the TOC Format. There are many other attributes you can include in your. These are the basic metadata associated with your addon. # Notes: Displays a welcome message when you get to your home zone. TOC file contains a manifest of all the other files that make up the addon and is used by WoW to load your addon. When WoW finds a folder in the addons directory, it looks inside that folder for a Table of Contents (TOC) file that has the same name as the folder.
So to get started we will create a new folder called WelcomeHome. Each addon goes in its own folder named after the addon. Since this is a tutorial about using the Ace3 libraries, I will start by showing you what we need to do to get a barebones addon loaded into the game.Įvery addon is stored in a folder underneath the WoW main folder called \Interface\AddOns. 12.3 Using the Localized Strings in the AddonĪce3 is an AddOn development framework, like (the now abandoned) Rock, Dongle, and Sea.īefore starting this tutorial, it's recommended to read Make it Ace'd, and Ace3 PhilosophyĪlternatively, there is the more advanced and official Ace3 Getting Started tutorial.12.2 Building the Localization Database.12.1 Adding AceLocale-3.0 to the Project.12 Localizing Your Strings with AceLocale.11 Saving Configuration Between Sessions.6 Reloading Your Addon Without Restarting WoW.
