tekticles

Version: 6.0.0.18-Beta

by: Tekkub [More]

tekticles is a simple set of fonts, derived from ClearFont2. I only ever used one set of fonts from CF2 (the Calibri set), so I ripped CF2 down to it's bear ass and stripped off all the extra crap. This addon is what's left.

- for the function that starts with "for i=1,7 do", a ,flags parameter needs to be added after ,size
- comment out the function "for _,butt in pairs"

Here's the link to my working tekticles.lua https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KJY...ew?usp=sharing

Note that I could not make the addon settings page to work (it throws some errors), but other than that, the addon is functional, it replaces the fonts as it should.
I took inspiration for the fixes from gmFonts addon, which is a maintained font replacement addon that borrowed a lot of Tekticles code.
Eventually, I believe we should all migrate at some point towards gmFonts.

People like you are what I love about WoW. Putting in effort to keep an ancient QoL addon alive.

God bless you friend.

If anyone has the knowledge to help fix it, it would be immensely appreciated. Also leaving this here, maybe someone can figure out what needs changing https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Pat....0/API_changes Code: 14x Interface/AddOns/tekticles/tekticles.lua:3: Usage: self:SetFont(fontFile, height, flags) [string "=[C]"]: in function `SetFont' [string "@Interface/AddOns/tekticles/tekticles.lua"]:3: in function <Interface/AddOns/tekticles/tekticles.lua:2> [string "@Interface/AddOns/tekticles/tekticles.lua"]:27: in function <Interface/AddOns/tekticles/tekticles.lua:13> Locals: (temporary) = AchievementFont_Small { 0 = <userdata> } (temporary) = "tekticles\CalibriBold.ttf" (temporary) = 12 (temporary) = nil Last edited by Daeveren : 10-29-22 at 01:54 AM.

Just wanted to note for others poking around that in addition to commenting out line 66, I also found it necessary to comment out lines 89 - 93 to stop another error.

Code:

-- for i=1,MAX_CHANNEL_BUTTONS do
-- local f = _G["ChannelButton"..i.."Text"]
-- f:SetFontObject(GameFontNormalSmallLeft)
-- function f:SetFont(...) error("Attempt to set font on ChannelButton"..i) end
-- end

Working so far!

Thanks for this - I already had this specific one in my addon, so most likely it was an errror introduced with some game API changes few years ago and I've most likely sorted it based on comments over here, from that period.

I'd like to point out that there's another error - when opening Interface Options and clicking on Tekticles in the addons list, it shows this:

Thanks, will try that. Should i use the release version or beta ?

The release one, 6.0.0.18-Beta (it's confusingly also named beta but it's newer than the one under other files).

I was looking through some old screenshots, OMG I didn't realize how hard the standard font is to read until I came upon some using ClearFont. I hope this AddOn works. Unlike the servers, atm.
