Hi guys,

Since there's no post about this, I thought I'd share what I discovered so far about WotLK changes for our addons. Feel free to share info, as it will be helpful for many of us I guess. I don't believe this is documented elsewhere either.

Ace2:

• I had to update AceConsole-2.0 to the latest version (mine was quite old), all other libs were ok.

API functions:

• UIDropDownMenu_SetWidth(width, frame)
changed to: UIDropDownMenu_SetWidth(frame, width, padding)


• UIDropDownMenu_SetButtonWidth(width, frame)
changed to: UIDropDownMenu_SetButtonWidth(frame, width)


• UIDropDownMenu_SetText(text, frame)
changed to: UIDropDownMenu_SetText(frame, text)


• UIDropDownMenu_SetButtonText(level, id, text, r, g, b)
changed to: UIDropDownMenu_SetButtonText(level, id, text, colorCode)


• FauxScrollFrame_OnVerticalScroll(width, function)
changed to: FauxScrollFrame_OnVerticalScroll(self, offset, width, function)


• SetTextFontObject()
changed to : SetNormalFontObject()

Widgets:

Buttons

• <NormalFont inherits="GameFontNormalSmall" justifyH="LEFT"/>
changed to: <NormalFont style="GameFontNormalSmallLeft"/>
Seems like they merged both attributes into one, and changed the font name accordingly.



• <HighlightFont inherits="GameFontHighlightSmall" justifyH="LEFT"/>
changed to: <HighlightFont style="GameFontHighlightSmallLeft"/>
Same as above.

There's probably more, but that's what I found so far. Feel free to contribute if you have access to the beta :)

An official thread from the US forums is here.

I know, but the changes I reported are not in that thread, and I play on a European realm, so I don't have access to US forums :/

Me too - but the link have to be here I think ;)

Sidenote: my problems with addons are reduced since I'm using embedded libraries on the beta realm. I don't know why...

You can also still use the normal GameFontHighlightSmall, and specify JustifyH in the <ButtonText> definition.

SetTextFontObject()

Change to : SetNormalFontObject();

In the UI panel at BlizzCon there was talk about generic outfitter-like support. Any signs of that to be seen already? And if yes, any clues as to the API?

Nothing yet, but ClosetGnome and ItemRack are broken now in the beta, so I think the devs are planning something (before they introduce the ingame MobHealth, MobHealth3 and LibMobHealth-4.0 were broken too).

Can anyone check and see what GetAccountExpansionLevel() returns with WotLK?

2

No beta key here, but out of curiosity what does UnitPowerType return for a death knight unit, and what is the color of runic power?

Thanks.

From Interface\FrameXML\Constants.lua:

-- Power Types
SPELL_POWER_MANA = 0;
SPELL_POWER_RAGE = 1;
SPELL_POWER_FOCUS = 2;
SPELL_POWER_ENERGY = 3;
SPELL_POWER_HAPPINESS = 4;
SPELL_POWER_RUNES = 5;
SPELL_POWER_RUNIC_POWER = 6;

EDIT: UnitPowerType returns 6 for DK.

Anyone knows where we can get the "AddonKit" for WotLK or how to extract the files the installation files or something? I tried using MPQ Editor on the .MPQ files in the WotLK directory and I can't seem to find the FramXML files.

TIA

You could try http://wowcompares.com/.

Or https://github.com/tekkub/wow-ui-source/tree if you'd rather have a local git repo instead of checking online every time.

Actually, the MPQ containing the FrameXML files is in the (localized) subfolder, for me: patch-enGB.MPQ
