| 20:38.12 | Theia | hello |
| 20:38.21 | Ressy | greetings! |
| 20:38.53 | Theia | I am trying to get an addon working for wow, could I ask a question here? |
| 20:40.04 | Theia | It's using the LibTextDump lib |
| 20:42.15 | Torhal | Theia: Hmm? |
| 20:44.25 | Theia | @Torhal Hello. It's my first addon, and I am probably doing something really small wrong. I am making an app, so that I can learn Chinese while playing wow. It is translating some characters from Chinese into English, I just need to dump the text. So I found your library |
| 20:44.53 | Torhal | Ok, what's the issue? |
| 20:44.54 | Theia | It looks very simple, but I can't seem to get it to display |
| 20:45.08 | Theia | local TextFrame = LibStub("LibTextDump-1.0"):New("Translated", 640, 480) TextFrame:AddLine("Welcome to learning Chinese via WoW") |
| 20:45.17 | Theia | This is all that it needs right? |
| 20:46.05 | Torhal | Theia: http://www.wowace.com/addons/libtextdump-1-0/pages/api-reference/ <-- You're missing TextFrame:Display() |
| 20:46.32 | Theia | Oke, I will test that |
| 20:46.33 | Torhal | It's also a straight up dump - it doesn't automatically update when lines are added. |
| 20:47.19 | Theia | Hmm, not working still. It should display a frame just right in the screen right? |
| 20:47.29 | Theia | -- Our text display frame local TextFrame = LibStub("LibTextDump-1.0"):New("Translated", 640, 480) TextFrame:AddLine("Welcome to learning Chinese via WoW") TextFrame:Display() |
| 20:47.37 | Theia | ## OptionalDeps: LibStub, LibTextDump-1.0 #@no-lib-strip@ Libs\LibTextDump-1.0\LibStub\LibStub\LibStub.lua Libs\LibTextDump-1.0\Lib.xml #@end-no-lib-strip@ |
| 20:47.59 | Theia | (I have no idea what the no-lib-strip does, but thats what other addons seemed to be using) |
| 20:48.17 | Torhal | That's for the packager - for -nolib files it doesn't include the libraries. |
| 20:48.32 | Torhal | Only useful if you're using a repository with the packager. |
| 20:48.49 | Theia | Oke, I removed that |
| 20:49.28 | Theia | Not displaying anything |
| 20:50.03 | Theia | Do I need some basic Frame or something? |
| 20:50.39 | Theia | I have created my app, just printing the lines to the chatframe. So its almost done, but couldn't get any xml/ui working... |
| 20:50.53 | Torhal | No. Where are you calling :Display() though? Is it in a function or in the main chunk of your code? |
| 20:51.15 | Theia | It's in the main chunk |
| 20:52.16 | Torhal | Then it's being called before the UI is even up. |
| 20:52.54 | Theia | Oke. I will try to load it in the addon_loaded event |
| 20:53.11 | Torhal | AddOns are typically loaded before the UI is even available, so yeah - you need to show it afterward :D |
| 20:53.33 | Theia | That is some useful information :) |
| 20:54.07 | Torhal | Though as I said, it won't auto-update with :AddLine() - it dumps all the lines to the frame when :Display() is called. |
| 20:54.57 | Theia | Oke cool! I got it working :) |
| 20:55.06 | Theia | Works like a charm :) |
| 20:55.11 | Theia | Thank you |
| 20:55.27 | Torhal | np! |
| 20:55.41 | Theia | Have a good evening~! |
| 20:55.45 | Torhal | You do the same |
| 20:56.09 | Torhal | Oh, are you oeberdoeber1? |
| 20:56.30 | Theia | Yeah I am. Found this channel afterwards |
| 20:56.32 | Torhal | I see a comment on the LibTextDump-1.0 page asking pretty much the same question. |
| 20:56.33 | Torhal | Ah. |
| 20:56.35 | Torhal | Good deal. |
| 20:56.46 | Theia | I will reply with the answer there. |
