Need Help Creating an "Install" Splash for my UI

[Cerberux19]

Hey all, I was looking to make my UI a bit more user friendly and create a separate addon that will simply load a splash screen the first time a character logs in and needs to set up my UI.

Currently I am using a string that incorporates the addon "Reflux" to load all addons in a single profile.

I have been trying, with no luck, in creating my own addon. And I am at a total loss atm.

The folder so far consists of the following files:

CerberuxUI > Core > Settings.lua
Media > Install > INSTALL.tga and Logo.tga
CerberuxUI.toc
Core.lua



These are the codes I currently have in each file:
Could someone please take a look and see where I might have gone wrong?

}

local IWF = {}

	local nt = {}
	for k, v in pairs(t) do

		else
			nt[k] = v
		end
	end
	return nt
end

p.s. I am very new to LUA and creating addons and recycled this code from a similar style splash so please pardon the ignorance.

There is a working one klick profil loader for reflux here: nibProfileLoader

You can set up different profils for each class.

That will do in a pinch thanks however it looks too bland and I would like to load an entire splash screen with my own custom graphic and custom button. Would this be easily changed in that addon?

[Phanx]

Mayron UI uses a custom GUI for this that you could look at for ideas.

[Cerberux19]

Yeah thats actually where I got the code for the one i was trying, albeit it was for a fairly old version. I didnt think the code would have changed that much since i last used it in 5.2

[suicidalkatt]

I made a rather simple splash art and a Reflux profile install call for my UI that I've yet to release:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/rpq8gmvqrbspprf/SyUI.zip?dl=0

(I'm on mobile so pasting code is a bit tedious)

I just have a simple frame animation play and at the end of it call a function that can display a simple StaticPopup which can then call the Reflux profile swap.
