WowLua  Updated this week!  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: v1.1.1-release
by: Cladhaire [More]

WowLua should be classic compatible!

WowLua is an in-game Lua scripting environment that includes an interactive Lua interpreter as well as a multi-page script editor. Other features include:

  • Syntax coloring, courtesy of krka's spectacular For All Indents and Purposes library
  • Sleek buttons, courtesy of Mikk
  • When WowLua is running code, it defines a global function print() which directs output to the WowLua window, for convenience. This global is removed when not running from WowLua
  • Can run WowLua pages from the commandline using /wowluarun or /luarun. Each slash command takes the name of a page, and prints any issues or activity to the chat frame. These can thus be used from macros.
  • Can open WowLua using /wowlua or /lua. Both of these slash commands will take a lua expression and run it, if provided:

/lua print(14) will open WowLua and print the number 14 to the output window.

Please feel free to post any comments or questions here, you'll find I'm relatively responsible. This addon has been written primarily as a companion tool for World of Warcraft Programming: A Guide and Reference for Creating WoW Addons.

Re: is anyone trying to keep this addon up to date?

but, i am still new to programming mods, so, it would be a lot better for someone who is good at programming mods to do it. someone with experience in that field.

another mod that i found that helps with developing mods, and is also out of date, is http://www.wowinterface.com/download...fo.php?id=3999. thats DevTools, to be clear.

i would suggest that if someone steps up to the plate for this mod, that they consider doing the same for DevTools, too.
Just because the file hasn't been updated in months doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it... What makes you think this has been abandoned?

Well, the addon is now flagged as out-of-date: that by itself is something wrong. As far as I can tell, it's still working fine, but it would be useful for someone familiar with the recent API changes to verify that this addon is still working, and then to update the '## Interface' line. Perhaps not much maintenance, but still worthwhile.

It does work. I'll update the table of contents, but this is merely a display issue.. there is absolutely no problem with the addon. Please don't go whistle-blowing on somethign that isn't an issue. There is a reason that the "Load out of date addons" checkbox exists.

Thanks. I and I'm sure the other users will appreciate it. We may have differing opinions on this point, but to my mind an out-of-date Interface spec is an issue: a minor one, admittedly, but an issue nonetheless.

Hello,

Would anyone happen to know a site where I can find a list of Blizzard API? I'm working on an addon but can't seem to find some.

Thanks!

Could you add support for indenting with tabs instead of spaces?

WoW does not support tabs.

Usability suggestion

First I'd like to say I just bought the WoW Programming book and it's awesome! Love the work you've done, and this addon is really cool. As part of my tinkering while learning how to make addons, I became interested in having a mouse click in the Output window set the focus to the CommandEditBox window. I'm one of those aging gamers whose hand-eye coordination isn't what it used to be and that CommandEditBox height is pretty small. I made a little modification to WowLua.xml and it seems to work ok...

This event added to
Code:
<ScrollingMessageFrame name="$parentOutput" maxLines="9999" fade="false" enableMouse="true">
Code:
<OnMouseDown>
	WowLuaFrameCommandEditBox:SetFocus()
</OnMouseDown>

No, it's a text editor and Lua interpreter for writing code.

Mousewheel scrolling

I have a request. Can you make the editor window scroll just a few lines at a time on mousewheel scrolling or tell me how I can make it do that? If I have a lot of code in the window and I make the window big, when I mousewheel it moves about 20 lines at a time. I can't seem to figure out how this is handled. Thanks.

If I'm at the end of the visible space in the editor window and continue typing on new lines, it would be helpful if the editor scrolled down to those new lines. (I often find myself typing off the bottom of the screen.)

Basically, any time the editor pane has focus and a key is pressed, it would be good to scroll to the caret.
