WowLua

Version: v1.0.5-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.

I was thinking it might be a fun learning experience to wire the fennel programming language up to this addon. There is no license file though, just a copyright notice, so I want to make sure that's cool with the authors before I start. I can start from scratch if it's not cool, but the code is pretty clean and easy to read, so it would be nice to have the head start ;-) Thanks, ylixir

Hi Cladhaire

Yes it looks like I reloaded the previous version instead of using the latest version.

It now works perfectly.

Cheers

I can navigate to the addon page that allows me to use the font size slider but when I use the slash commands, /lua or /wowlua, to open the UI I get nothing, not even a lua error that is caught by bug grabber. How do I get this to work and/or is there an update of WoWLua in the works?

BFA Changes

The (undocumented?) TEXT function no longer exists in BFA.
Just not using it seemed sufficient to get this essential add-on working in BFA.

Code:

diff -r /Applications/World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns/WowLua/WowLua.lua WowLua/WowLua.lua
397,398c397,398
< 	button1 = TEXT(OKAY),
< 	button2 = TEXT(CANCEL),
---
> 	button1 = OKAY,
> 	button2 = CANCEL,
518,519c518,519
< 	button1 = TEXT(OKAY),
< 	button2 = TEXT(CANCEL),
---
> 	button1 = OKAY,
> 	button2 = CANCEL,
bash-3.2$

And as he said it works fine if you enable UIScale at 1.0 https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20758887562 Will be fixed come 7.3.5 it seems. Last edited by g1zstar : 10-19-17 at 01:10 AM.

You have to replace the line 251 in wowlua.lua

Lua Code:

PlaySound("igMainMenuOpen")

Lua Code:

PlaySound(SOUNDKIT.IG_MAINMENU_OPEN)

For the Hide Sound, replace line 681 in wowlua.xml

Lua Code:

PlaySound(igMainMenuQuit);

Lua Code:

PlaySound(SOUNDKIT.IG_MAINMENU_QUIT);

Some folks have asked for how they can donate money, and for many years I've enjoyed hearing about how my addons have helped other people enjoy World of Warcraft. If you would like to donate, I'd ask you to make a donation to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, a worthy organisation that helped my sister immensely from her diagnosis through her final years. If you or a family member suspect you might have something not right in your butt, please have a doctor check it out. Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers in the world.
