How to setup development environment
Hi all,
I am just crash diving into LUA programming and choose ESO as motivator :D Now I have some questions regarding a proper dev environment. I have notepad++ with LUA support and autocomplete and highlighting for ESO. I have seen that there are some quite nifty tools for WoW and am wondering if there is something similar for ESO. A list of what I have found and am missing vs. WoW dev.
What would you recommend or how is your development environment? Thanks for helping Wakka |
Welcome Wakka :)
Well, for API look at the WIKI of this site. For advanced information you can look to the "source documentation" here. Look at the Developer Ultilities: Recommended add-ons: zgoo, click4info, TextureIt, DevTools. For NotePad++ look at NotePad++ ESO AutoComplete. Especially, if your are native English speaker and/or use english client, beware of localization. It is a well-known trap, that returned strings of other languages have "garbage" at the end: http://www.esoui.com/forums/showpost...21&postcount=8 You can switch language in-game: Khrill Language Selector And once you did your first add-on I recommend to read this: http://www.lua.org/gems/sample.pdf |
Thanks a lot for that helpful post :)
Looking forward to get started. But do you eventually know a tool to design GUIs in xml or LUA? I will probably not use it straight away but would be nice to have a complete toolbox from the beginning. Click4Info seems to be a very usefull tool. Great! |
