Updating dead addon - Where to start....
Hi there,
I just returned to WoW after a long break, however I noticed many of my beloved addons were abandoned or hardly ever updated. No one bother to even look at them or update them....
Now I know, they belong to someone else (I messaged their Authors for permission to update them, however I never heard from them ever again). Is it possible to update them without sharing them till I receive a confirmation to share them and maintain them updated? or I shouldn't ever bother?
I am into programming and started to dig about LUA. I am familiar with other programming languages and this is my first start in LUA.
So to the real question, how do I actually update them? do I just go through each line and check if that function/string has been removed from the game or replaced with a new one? or just debug it in WoW to find out what kind of error I get and fix them?
Regards,
Wolf
