Tukui wow 3.3.5a code#

Please don't waste your time 'backporting', it will flat out not work. Create custom menus so the users can change your variables ingame. Then start building the pixel-perfect functionality around it. make sure everything looks pretty, hardcoded for your resolution. Take a look at LunaUnitframes to get a good idea how unitframes are done in Vanilla, then extract as many XML templates as possible from the ElvUI version you want. If you can even deal with how vastly different Lua 5.0 is to the 5.1 implementations later clients use. So you spend your first 5 days of backporting the addon realizing that you have to dump half the cool functionality (except for the looks, really).

In Vanilla, all that info is missing from the client. But at least TBC and later API versions use about the same UNIT* events, although with less information, so that you have to pull a lot of info from the combatlog. Which makes porting whole frames from WOTLK(upwards) to extremely tedious and honestly, quuuuite annoying. In WOTLKand upwards, you're also using StateHandlers to decide when your frame should be shown/hidden. There are a lot of functions based around this. TBC and upwards use SecureUnitButtonTemplate for everything.

Vanilla on the other hand, is completely different to all of these (which is why I haven't done a 'quick backport' of ArenaLive for Vanilla yet). SecureHandlers are a nother thing, that TBC doesn't really do quite as well yet. The WOTLK API in turn is very similar to everything until WOD, although Cata and later are quite different to TBC, in the sense that arguments are switched around and a lot of shorthand functions are missing. The TBC API is very similar to the one in WOTLK.

Though, here's a current SS of what's going on. I'll look into that Elvui port to WoTLK but I don't really think I'll find much there, so much changed in the API between TBC and WoTLK. The only issue with that is I'm backporting to TBC first before I go to vanilla. Action bars are mostly finished, there might be a few issues(I'm looking at you pet classes) but things are looking up, I'm about to start on the unit frames now and then I'll see about putting things up on Github to get some help. Well, the good news is I'm making progress.

Maybe you could look at some of his code to help out? Can't wait to see what you have next to show Maybe soon you should start posting a topic about it with a Git Repo status? Maybe bring more peeps into the development?Īlso, remember, this russian dude backported a perfect Warlords of Draenor version of ElvUI to Wrath 3.3.5a with more features. This is awesome, I wish I could help, however, my time now is super limited and I barely log onto my computer anymore. :p)Ĭrum wrote:Holy shit man! This is great news! I had recently made a look-a-like version of TukUI in a blizzard art stance, rather than the 1 pixel perfect way TukUI or ElvUI uses. Don't like it, you can port a more recent version. This isn't just a lookalike Tukui, it's Tukui version 11.51(I liked the WoTLK version. I'm quite a ways there already, I'm going to have to do the unit frames from scratch using a tbc version of oUF which I'll likely have to backport to vanilla(If possible, trying to not use external addons to get the feel of Tukui) and I still need to get the action bars and buffs skinned but most of the functionality is there. In order to make the transition to vanilla easier, I'm backporting to TBC first and then I'll get it going for vanilla. Otherwise, I get bored quick with the default UI.

Something about having ElvUI or TukUI makes me want to play the game more. Hell, if you can pull this off, I would gladly help out. Didn't get very far, but it had most of the same appearance, just wasn't the same. :pĪwesome man! I actually was in the progress of doing the same thing. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some help with this.Īlso, what I mean by Tukui like UI, I mean, basically the same in looks and feel, just custom code. When I have something more than the few things I have done, I'll post the github. Though, I'm not backporting, it's from scratch so it's take a little while.
