• Bugs & Unannounced changes
  
  - GetAPIVersion() returns 100013 instead of 100014

  • To join, send an ingame mail to @Ayantir, requests will be sent to some devs aswell ! Fell free to chat a bit and share experiences, ask help & tests if needed.
  
  
  
  
  

Before 2.3 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 Some outdated addons may not be here, that's because : Author mainteners still have some activity.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

I'll try to see if some features of Librarian should be added to Lorebooks.
If you know (have) an addon which could do this, don't hesitate, I don't know them a lot.

I've added 2 categories to the old template,

Main Axis for Addons Maps & Lore : New Zone, New quests -> Datamining Endgame PVE adons -> New Raid Skill addons (tracking, simulation, etc) : New Skillline (passive). Craft / Items Manager : New sets added, New styles added. Caldwell revamp : Level changes for old zones (?). New Addons ideas Group finder Addons based on the new Thieve Guild functionnalities. (murders, robbering, etc.) Companions management Scrolling Combat Text

Please consider them and think to something cool about the quote

Great job on the thread Ayantir! Thanks

Looking forward to 2.3 on PTS.

Where is the awesome button? I mean: where is the >AWESOME< button?! I couldn't stop laughing after Homer's "Yoohoo!", but that raccoon, I can't even...

[SnowmanDK]

I love the Patchnotes animation

[sirinsidiator]

Awesome work Ayantir! Thanks for always doing these threads. It's great to have a plan. (You should also join us on Gitter, merlight too)

I am not sure if "AvA Keep Dumps" is that useful as the ids seem to be different between servers.

As for Librarian Book Manager, I still have my half finished addon with a list of *where* books have been found. Maybe I'll combine them and integrate them into Lorebooks...

P.S:

[Ayantir]

Hello folks, just a word to say that PTS has been uploaded with a diff inside it. There is also Patch notes available. 1st topic has been updated.


1st bug : GetAPIVersion returns 100013 instead of 100014
-> reported.

As patch note mentions it, API 100014 is the code for Thieve Guild, please increase API number in your manifest.
