Updating AI Researchgrid

[Woeler]

Hello all,

I'm quite new to making addons and I thought I'd give it a try.

Since AI Researschgrid hasn't been updated since april this year I thought I'd try and add the ninth trait to it (Nirnhoned and Nirncrux). However, it's not really working out.

I tried adding the trait and then changing some numbers so the total number of traits would be 18 and not 16, but it's not that simple (obviously).

Would anyone perhaps show me how it's done so I can get a better understanding of how this works?

Thanks, the lua is in the attachmentsbox.

Not fully tested yet, but try this version:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2n4cn5fue0...-v2.2-beta.zip

Change log:
- added Nirnhoned trait
- converted from LibAddonMenu-1.0 to LibAddonMenu-2.0
- fixed appearance with disabled motifs
- fixed tooltip texts for german and french language

Known issue:
- I had to reset saved variables because of Nirnhoned trait

Hey man,

Thanks! So, now I wanted to change the weapontrait to 'nirncrux' (EXAMPLE). Where in the file should I change that? (sorry if that's a n00b question, but I'm trying to learn)

Both weapon and armor traits are called Nirnhoned, so I'm not really sure why do you want to show "nirncrux".

Anyway, this is the line you are looking for (in my version it is line 210):

AIRG.UI.rowLabels[j]:SetText(GetString("SI_ITEMTRAITTYPE",thisTrait))

It is inside of the loop, and actual string is loaded by this comand from the EsoStrings table:
GetString("SI_ITEMTRAITTYPE", ITEM_TRAIT_TYPE_WEAPON_NIRNHONED)
GetString("SI_ITEMTRAITTYPE", ITEM_TRAIT_TYPE_ARMOR_NIRNHONED)

If you want to use EsoStrings table directly, it is:

EsoStrings[ _G["SI_ITEMTRAITTYPE" .. ITEM_TRAIT_TYPE_WEAPON_NIRNHONED] ] --the same as EsoStrings[SI_ITEMTRAITTYPE25]
EsoStrings[ _G["SI_ITEMTRAITTYPE" .. ITEM_TRAIT_TYPE_ARMOR_NIRNHONED] ]  --the same as EsoStrings[SI_ITEMTRAITTYPE26]
