HELP WANTED: Verbatim add-on

#1 Post by jenx »

I would like to make some simple changes to various lua files, to output much more information to the screen regarding combat, saving throws, etc. Mainly to help players understand more how the game works and also to save time trawling through the log file to find this information.

I've already done this for myself, but it seems that my characters are not valid as the code has changed.

If I am just adding in this case some lines of code here and there to combat.lua etc, how do I do this as an addon so that it is a valid addon?



I want to call the addon verbatim.

Generally For making changes overloading works the best but you where incredibly generic in what you want. More detail would be nice.

I've read that overloading can cause problems and that superloading is better?

yeah superloading and using hooks is much better but there are things that need to use overloading. You should still tell us what you want for us to help.

Ok, I will. I Just need some time to do the coding, then I'll post it here.

It is very basic!
