2.1 update

Hello devs,

As for the 1.6 thread, We'll try to regroup useful infos about next update incoming.






Before 2.1 goes Live, we'll have few things to do :


- Identify Authors who left and Major Addons (with unique features) which REALLY need love. New authors interested to take a project are strongly encouraged to check the list (todo.)

This list is establishhed by me.
I consider top downloads as a priority, then for each addon, I check :
last update, comments activity, author & maintener last login on esoui and kind of update (lib update , bug fix or new features).
Some outdated addons may not be here, that's because : Author mainteners still have some activity. Addon has clearly duplicate features with an active addon. Addon popularity is too low (for my point of view).


Don't forget that if your work is yours while you're here, since you leave eso, it clearly goes to the "eso community", anyone is free to take back your work with or without your permission, especially if you're silent. Some folks ask, others don't, others merge your addons features into theirs.

Please consider writing a licence, some comments (in lua files, website anywhere you want, pm admins) if you're having some special requests about credits.



- List things that you didn't liked on last topic, or just say what you would like to see improved about our discussions. about the topic, the wiki, or other things related to dev chat.

- Other things, feel free to discuss, ask, etc


If you're an author and don't have plans / motivation to continue your addons, please let us know

Have fun

Just when I started playing regularly again, they manage to remind me why I unsubscribed. Placing the Imperial City behind a pay-wall is not going to make me want to play more. The Planemeld was a breeze compared to what ZOS management is doing to the game.

You will probably not notice until months after I've stopped coming back. When that happens, do whatever you want with my add-ons, they're unlicensed.

We're still waging war in Blackwater Blade, but it's uncertain for how long we'll keep on struggling.

Hi Ayantir, nice idea.

Is there any place where authors would like to hang out and chat while we are working on PTS on addon updates?

Maybe we can set up a guild once the PTS comes up to have a convenient in-game chat channel?

Also anyone who wants is welcome to hang out in the TF TeamSpeak (ts.tamrielfoundry.com) if you want to chat about the API updates or hang out while working.

A pts guild would be cool. I was in the esoui one on live for a while, but needed the guild slot back

I'm still mixed on this paid for IC thing. The balance changes and everything else should be rolled out to everyone with 2.1 (wouldn't make sense otherwise), but if a B2Per tries to use the sewer entrance is the game just going to pop up the crown store instead of letting them through the door? *nervous laughter*

A dev guild could be interesting, why not.

For my part, I don't really need help on pts for my addons, but for some usage someone of an opposite faction could be useful, or a guild bank plenty of ressources, of huge tons of items to destroy, those kind of things. But we can need some help for exploring or other things.


Why not create "Devs" on PTS?


The only problem is that because ZOS dump and erase the contents quite often, it could only be opened while PTS is newer than live. For my part I can provide HUGE resources for EU side (v14 chars, 2 full guildbanks, all craft maxed, lot of gold). but nothing on NA side except my level 5 char only created to keep my name for me


And for TS, if I can speak quite well english, a lot of devs here don't speak a lot english but only write
But why not.

PTS guild sounds good. I definitely need a guild store for obvious reasons
We could write a simple addon that saves all members of the guild and once the server gets wiped the founder of the guild can use a slashcommand to send an invite to everyone who was in it.

It has been awhile since I logged on to it but IIRC may still be up. I'm not at home to check.

IRC server: irc.freenode.net
Channel: #ESOUIDev

Seerah and Cairenn from here were monitors during beta and launch. It was a handy way we all talked on.

I might be lurking on PTS when its there to make sure nothing broken on my side and fix if it is, might also need a few group members to do some tests. A PTS guild idea sounds useful.

IRC still works too, but it seems pretty dead.

I'll be all over PTS anyway to play with IC as well

Hi everyone, I started my little list about addons which will need love, please have a look.

Watch addon, wait a bit, maybe author will answser. or just pm it. also look and think if the addon could be merged into another one. or remplaced by another one, more advanced, etc.

there is huge addons in that list, and maybe ones which are still under development and support from their authors, sorry if I did some mistakes.

I don't think anyone grabbed Weapon Charge Alert after katkat bowed out, but from a cursory glance I'd say it is pretty much outclassed by the weapon charge indicators in AlphaGear. Only reason to maintain it would be if someone doesn't want all of the other functionality of AlphaGear (which I have been enjoying much more than I ever enjoyed Wykkyd's Outfitter).
