AddOn API Released!
We're happy to announce that we've gotten permission to release the AddOn API for ESO. You can find it on our wiki. In addition to the list of API Functions and Events, we've also posted Zenimax's AddOn Quick Questions and their 'My First Addon' tutorial.
At present the API Functions and Events are merely listed alphabetically. Getting them sorted into their various categories (ie Global Variables, Object API, etc.) and having things like what parameters get returned haven't been added yet. That's the joy of a Wiki, though, everyone is welcome to contribute as they can. Have at it guys & gals! |
That OnUpdate tag in the XML that everyone seems to be using right now. How often is that firing? Every frame? According to the this snippet (..."We're just going to make a simple window frame with some text on it that updates every frame."...) I would guess yes.
Code:

Now I can start looking to see what I can do. My guildies in wow are already looking forward to what addons I think up for ESO. Of course, no beta this weekend *sigh* |

Hmm, am I reading it right.
The Addon Tutorial gives the impression you can start a new addon while still inside ESO playing. Unlike WOW where you have to be logged out to set the files up. Or, is it assuming we know that already. |
Nope. You can add files and even whole addons while the game is running. You just need to reload the UI for it to pick them up.

Now my time with the beta will be torn between actually playing the game and working on an addon. I wish we could test them without beta access :(

Seems like something I'd like to look into. I had a key for a while, but have been too busy to make it into a testing weekend. I'm on break from WoW in favor of FFXIV at the moment and am starting to miss writing addons.

Seerah waves SDPhantom over to the dark side...
We have cookies! **one must be willing to pick up said cookies, they will not be delivered |
Cairenn holds out a nice warm mug of hot cocoa to go with Seerah's cookies.
*must also be picked up |
Are they going to release API with descriptions/commentary?
