Attention Authors (and Users) of WoW Classic Addons
Now that we've gotten a bunch of you into the beta, we've opened up a download category, Addons for WoW Classic - General for your use. While we are still in beta and until it starts populating, we are just going to have a single category "General" that all addons will go in. As the category starts filling up and as we get closer to release, we still start creating more specific categories and move them in accordingly. Users, please note: These are addons that are for the beta of WoW Classic. They will not work on the Live servers! Edit: We know folks are just trying to be helpful, but if an addon isn't yours, don't upload it! |
What's the API status of classic server, 1.x or 8.x?
|
Modified 8.2 I believe (could be 8.1).

It's actually modified 8.0, and the Interface number is 11302.
Ketho made a post comparing the API to 8.1.5. https://www.wowinterface.com/forums/...d.php?p=332165 |

am still waiting on my beta invite... i think the two ptr bug got me!
|
I received an invite for the two hour stress test this morning. I'm torn as to whether I should consider myself lucky or appreciate the joke :banana:

Edit: And of course I thought it was later in the day for me so didn't even log in at the time available as I was asleep rofl. But just logged in now to assess nUI before doing house/garden work ... 38 log in errors, predominantly frame and event non existent errors .. which means for the most part I should be able to check and bypass code not relevant to Classic .. hopefully I'll have time to test before the server closes down .. if not it will have to wait until next access occurs. |
What is the eventual branching/tagging strategy here ?
ie as an addon author (and likewise for users, ui wise) how do I indicate 2 versions for 1 addon I hope we won't just clone all addons with a random classic prefix/suffix - it'll be a nightmare What I propose is support for git branches or multiple top tags (If I manage to write an addon that does work with same code for both, than I can tag a single release with both the classic and bfa versions, somehow) Any other ideas/thoughts ? ps: I asked the same here https://authors.curseforge.com/forum...branching-tags ps: also waiting on full beta but was able to start to test on stress test finally, unfortunately there are only a few hours left (and I also had 2 PTRs but got support to delete one of them, possibly too late... I hope it can be manually fixed by someone somehow) |
I got the stress test invite also and was reunited with an old friend or two. You are 192 in the queue and unable to connect to any servers. Blizzard never seems to do well with stress testing. Then again, this could be a success since they now know what they have to do to to prevent these kind of issues.

I'm hoping in nUI's case that the same addon can be used in both Classic and Current servers using the Number of Expansions constant that can be used to test whether it is on a Classic server or Current. Then apply the code blocks that are appropriate. Then it would be the case of simply uploading as normal. Hopefully :)

Also, anyone know if you have to be subscribed to WoW to get an invite? Their criteria was a lot more vague than usual. Cheers! |

Hopefully there is an open beta like the original vanilla launch had so I can assess the situation and get my addons in order. Thank you for the info. Cheers! |

If the Classic API is pretty much "Set in stone" then two (three/four if TBC etc. servers do come out) might not be such an onerous thing (except for those that feel the need to "backport" every enhancement they make). |
Hmm, didn't get the out of date flag come up when using nUI during that 2 hour stress test window. But then maybe not all of the addon version checks aren't in place.

Maybe someone with Beta can confirm. |
Hmm, maybe I had OOD box ticked .. I normally do rofl.
