Updating Another Author's Add-On

[YelloDello]

Sorry if I missed this in my forum search: what is this site's policy on updating another author's work? (Is there a post somewhere outlining this policy?)

Thanks!

P.S. I'm asking because ins:junkyard hasn't been updated since the ESO 1.1.2 patch, which broke several features, and causes crashes to desktop. I've fixed these issues but I'm not sure how/if I should post my work.

If the author authorized it, you can submit optionnals files for the addon.

This option will be enabled on interfaces that have been abandoned or not updated for a length of time automatically.

Mah please upload your ins:junkyard fix! Need this addon to work!

Well the author is still logging into this site so I doubt he has abandoned them quite yet.

The addon was last updated a month ago and as you mentioned on the addon page there are no problems, however, if there are problems, report them on the addon page/portal as that may be where they concentrate their site time on.

When you start getting problems and you don't see a response from your queries about them then you can start considering patching the addon, which looking at the optional files patch section is possible.

I have PM'd the author and I'm waiting on a reply. Maybe I'll wait a day before posting my fix.

(Btw... my post on the addon's page doesn't say there are no problems... I report that there are problems, just that the latest version works better with ESO 1.1.2 than older ones.)

Ah, my apologies then, must learn to read properly I thought it was weird that you were asking the question rofl.

Most authors don't have any issue of posting a patch to their comments section.

I welcome them, and have let people edit things themselves when stuff broke.

Any updates on this? I realy miss ins:junkyard

The author did allow patches for ins:junkyard.

Well then YelloDello now just needs to upload it

[YelloDello]

Well, I gave the author a long time to respond, but he seems out of commission.

I've uploaded it in the optional files section and it's just awaiting approval from the mods.

EDIT: Oh wait, it's up already! Enjoy: http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info573.html
