How To Get "ItemPreview" Addon Working?
Hi. I'm really interested in getting the discontinued addon "ItemPreview" working for myself and my S.O.
We'd really love an addon that would allow us to preview things the default game doesn't allow you to, especially from item links, etc. (My impression is that ItemPreview adds this functionality.) ...But, I can't figure it out. I don't know if the instructions on the comment page are just misleading, or if I'm totally missing something here. Please help. While it would be wonderful if someone took over the addon and kept it in working order, I'm not going to hold my breath. I know everyone is super busy, and taking over someone else's work probably doesn't feel as rewarding as it all being purely your own work. I get it. Plus, I imagine someone would have done it already if anyone wanted to do it. :( (What could potentially entice someone to take over the addon?) Here's a snippet from the addon's comment page: Quote:

Oh I just found out if you download "ItemPreview" you get the zip archive "Furniture Preview"!
So just take the fixed Furniture Preview from your link and you should be fine to go? Quote:
Older post of mine - Irrelevant as it seems The first link chinamicas workaround fix contains the CraftingPreview folder which you want to test. https://www.dropbox.com/s/m6r991cn8p...round.rar?dl=0 Download this folder/file (and extract it to your AddOns folder). But there is no ItemPreview folder in any of these files. Only Furniture and Crafting Preview. And there is also a comment von chinamicah about ItemPreview: Originally Posted by chinamicah -Get the updated LibPreview files from ESO Master Recipe List. You want both LibPreview.lua and PreviewData.lua. -Paste both over the versions that came with ItemPreview or CraftingPreview or FurniturePreview -Add the following line after line 296: return nil The resulting code should look something like this: Code: 294 if IsOutfitStyleArmor(outfitStyleId) then 295 categoryIndex = 12 296 numSubCategories = 7 -- 7 armor types 297 return nil -- continuing crashes the addon 298 end 299 if not categoryIndex then return nil end This should be added into the ItemPreview.lua I guess. |
It Isn't Doing Anything For Me
Okay, so I installed the file from "Rhyono's furniture preview fix" link.
The addon is enabled, and the settings for it appear properly in the Settings > Addons > ItemPreview page. But... it's not allowing me to preview armor and weapons. No matter if they're in my inventory, my bank, or on a guild trader. I've tried disabling "Preview on mouse click". That didn't do anything. (How do you preview anything without a mouse click? What is that option even for? There doesn't seem to be any available keybinds to set for this addon.) So I re-enabled "Preview on mouse click". No change. Still can't preview armor or weapons. The only addons & libraries I have enabled are: Addon Selector ItemPreview (Furniture+Armor) Votan's Keybinder Votan's Settings Menu LibAddonMenu-2.0 LibCustomMenu LibDialog LibMainMenu-2.0 LibPreview LibStub Any ideas? :( :confused: :( :confused: |

What Does It Do?

Ahhhh... Soooo... The addon doesn't do anything extra that the base game doesn't already handle? :confused: Unless I'm mistaken, you can already preview furniture from a guild trader, your bank, or your inventory. Does the addon still add any new functionality at all? :confused: |
By using it in conjunction with CraftStore, most furniture can be viewed from anywhere.

Thanks

Cool. :) That's handy enough for me to have a reason to keep ItemPreview! Thank you both for your responses! If anyone finds a way to get the armor & weapon previews working again, please let us know. |
Afaik it's a game restriction and not doable anymore for now.
|
Thanks
Okay.
I updated my comment on the ItemPreview page. Hopefully it helps others in the future. |
