Creation and updating of addons

1st Official Post
    • New

    1) Hello. I'm looking for someone who can create a small addon that changes the main theme to the main theme of the original chapters 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Character selection doesn't last more than 30 seconds, but I'd like to listen to these five songs randomly just for nostalgia's sake.


    2) I use the QuestHelper addon but for some reason the minimap icon is not visible, it is there but invisible, as if the addon or the game itself can't read the icon directly from the addon. An example.

    As you can see, there is the QuestHelper icon but the icon is not visible. I tried everything to fix it but unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to create or fix this type of thing.


    I hope you can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.



    Greetings

    Hello,


    1) This is not possible with addon. This is coded in internal Client.exe code and not changeable. We are not planning to allow swapping between them due to incompatibility. I will instead add task to add theme songs to House Options, so you can purchase and active them there.


    2) Most likely there is either icon missing / wrong extension / wrong file name used.

    hi,


    i dont know why, but the questhelper addon references missing icon/image files for the minimap button and therefore the button is rendered without any icon.


    in interface\addons\questhelper\questhelper.xml, replace


    Code
    <NormalTexture file="Interface/Addons/questhelper/textures/icon_mini"/>
<PushedTexture file="Interface/Addons/questhelper/textures/icon_mini_push"/>


    with

    Code
    <NormalTexture file="Interface/Addons/questhelper/textures/icon"/>
<PushedTexture file="Interface/Addons/questhelper/textures/icon"/>


    xml is a text-based file type, so you can edit it with any regular text editor. do yourself a favor and dont use microsoft word :)


    seems like there was an icon update planned, but the required image files were not included in the update.

    this should show the already included image again.


    just restart the client after replacing the texts or reload the UI by writing this in a chat window:


    Code
     /script ReloadUI()


    if youre struggling with opening and changing these files, ill try to attach a working questhelper.xml with the above mentioned fix. just replace the whole file and the icon should appear again.


    //EDIT: cant attach xml files to board posts, so here is a link: https://www.mediafire.com/file…e9oj/questhelper.xml/file
