LibAnnyoingUpdateNotificationInGame - Launig Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 7

by: Ayantir, Baertram

This library displays a message when user addons are out of date

The library inits itself at first launch
It waits 10 days
After this grace period, if user have 1+ addons outdated and enabled, it displays a message warning the user to update his addons!
Each 30 days, the same condition is re-examined
When a new API is detected, the library reinits and returns to step 1

Message is displayed at 1st player activated event (this should be after login).
If a market announcement is present, dialog is delayed to the next one.

The dialog is shown in the current input mode, Keyboard or Gamepad.

Users can't move, can't cast, like in any other dialog scene
He can press E (primary action) to go on and open the addon update website at http://www.esoui.com or press the abort action (ALT is the standard key) or ESC to close the dialog
A random background image among all ZOS DLC background pictures is displayed to illustrate
Screen is not faded

Messages are translated in English, French & German.
Messages are not displayed on PTS!

The library provides it's own txt file and it will be showing the dialog reminder without any function call, automatically if you got the library enabled.
You cann access the library via the global variable

Code:

Launig

without the usage of LibStub!

The only function existing to be called is this one:

Lua Code:

--Shows the reminder dialog
Launig:Show()

v7: Updated API. Removed debug message if library was loaded multiple times (e.g. from within any addon's txt manifest file directly->Which should not be done anymore & as standalone library).
v6: LibStub not needed anymore. Updated APIVersion. Added AddOnVersion & IsLibrary: true. Added global variable Launig. Added Launig:Show() function to show the reminder popup. Made the library standalone possible.
v5: Grace Period is now 15 days and loop is now 40 days. This should display the warning 3 times per Update.
v4: Fixed a bug when deleting ZO_Ingame.lua SavedVariable. Grace Period is now 10 days and loop is now 30 days.
v3: Keyboard Background image now include Chapters
v2: "Outdated add-ons" instead of "Obsolete Addons" for english title
v1: Initial release

Joking.
The libs/dependencies are also sometime shipped with addons of other devs that's why they are "libraries" -> re-usable code for many addons.
And some addons come with included libraries, so you do not have to download them yourself.
You may not explcitly notice they get downloaded together with an addon.
But the dependencies, and optional dependencies, are normally mentioned at the addons you download, so you can check the description and find them listed there. If not: Tell the devs to list them properly please.

Btw: You can just disable them in the ingame addon manager like every addon/library as well.

Thanks for the explanation. I was just confused by the fact that there is no information about this library in the AddOns and SavedVariables folder)

It is added along with the AwesomeGuildStore addon.

If addons do not work tehy won't work. But not because of any txt file comparison against a number written to the current game's patch level.
