Work on the frame.

I have been working on a new interface for the guide frame

Here is what I've done:

_Remove the xml file as the frame is created from the lua file

_I add the lib AceLocale-3.0 with dedicated file for every languages (only english so far, but the model is the same for every language)

_I created an embedable library called AceWidget-3.0 that has for now two functions one to create textures the other to create fontstring

_I used the same string format as totalRP2 is using for every page of the guide so I use the TRP2_ConvertToHTML() function to transform it

The source code can be found on my Google Drive

The code is not commented but as it is very short it is not very hard to understand.

Thank you for sharing this, I will give it a look

If you have any question do not hesitate

I made some little improvement such as making it movable and added a short description to the buttons tooltips

The main purpose of the way I made it movable is to be able to stick it to Total RP2 Main Frame (the one I'm working on).
In other words: if the main frame in shown then the guide frame will stick to it, if not then it will appeared where you left it.

I also renamed the directory file to totalRP2_Guide2 to make it work with the old Guide.

I did a quick workaround on the frFR file to make it translated in french too

Wow, thank you again
I didn't have time yet to check your files (I'm sure this sentence is not correct ). I will give it a look today now that it's the weekend

Also, as I've planed to add the Chinese translation to Total RP, I will make the change to AceLocale-3.0 soon  

you will see it's very easy to set and in the end it helps keeping the code very light

I'm having issues running your files because of librairies dependency. I tried to fix it, but it seems that you have renamed several files (totalRP2-1.024?). Can you upload your entire folder so I don't have to change names around? ^^

you have to run it with totalRP2 as it use the TRP2_ConvertToHTML() function which is in the totalRP2_API.lua file in totalRP2 folder.

You probably have to look for some libraries you might not have such as LibDBIcon-1.0. for the complete list see the libs\libs.xml file

I think the problem is that there is no such file in what you shared   

my bad. It's fixed

Thank you but I still have an error even though I have the library in the libs folder

Code:

totalRP2-1.024\libs\AceAddon-3.0\AceAddon-3.0-11.lua:210: in function "EmbedLibrary"

I'm sorry if I'm doing it wrong, I've never used Ace

I forgot to add the AceConsole-3.0 to libs.xml
Add this libs and it shoudl be good.

Still not working
Here's the files I have with libs.xml

And here's the error

Code:

6x totalRP2_Guide2\totalRP2_Guide2.lua:1: Cannot find a library instance of "AceAddon-3.0".
<in C code>
BugSack-r272-release\Libs\LibStub\Libstub.lua:38: in function "LibStub"

 libs = <table> {

}
major = "AceAddon-3.0"
silent = nil


From what I understand it can't find the AceAddon library but it's there, it's in the right folder

I'm a bit confused... what does the FrameXML.log in the log folders says?

Okay, I finally got it to work. I've added the entire Ace folder in the AddOns folder to be sure it loads all the libraries, I also download LibQTip and added it to the libs.
I think I will have to get more familiar with working with libraries  

I really should have pay more attention to the libs I used as I actually don't use LibDBIcon for the guide :/

Well, seing this library there made me curious about using it for TRP's minimap icon. I hate it. It needs some drag-and-drop ^^

:)

you used the code I gave you?

Oops, sorry, I was sure I've replied   
No, I took the documentation from WoWAce and done it step by step, so I can understand everything that it's doing.

so probably you didn't used the LibDataBroker yet. anyway it should be easier to use the minimap button with other addons.

I did use LibDataBroker

Here's the entire code

Code:

local icon = LibStub("LibDBIcon-1.0")

local TRP2_MinimapButton = LibStub("LibDataBroker-1.1"):NewDataObject("TRP2_MinimapButton", {
   type = "data source",
   text = "Total RP 2",
   icon = "Interface\\AddOns\\totalRP2\\Images\\icon.tga",
   OnClick = function(clickedframe, button) if button == "LeftButton" then
               TRP2_OpenMainMenu(not TRP2MainFrame:IsVisible());
            elseif button == "RightButton" then
               if TRP2_RaccBar:IsVisible() then
                  TRP2_RaccBar:Hide();
               else
                  TRP2_RaccBar:Show();
               end
            end
          end,
         OnLoad = function() self:RegisterForClicks("LeftButtonUp","RightButtonUp");end,
         OnTooltipShow = function(tooltip)
            TRP2_Libs:Tooltip_LDB(tooltip)
        end,
})

function TRP2_Libs:Tooltip_LDB(tooltip)
    tooltip:AddLine("Total RP 2");
    tooltip:AddLine(TRP2_LOC_CLIC.." : "..TRP2_LOC_OPENMENU);
    tooltip:AddLine(TRP2_LOC_CLICDROIT.." : "..TRP2_LOC_OPENRACC);
end

function TRP2_Libs:OnInitialize()

   self.db = LibStub("AceDB-3.0"):New("totalRP2", {
      profile = {
         minimap = {
            hide = false,
         },
      },
   })
   icon:Register("TRP2_MinimapButton", TRP2_MinimapButton, self.db.profile.minimap)
end

And it works great with addons like Minimap Button Frame and Masque, and slightly better with highly customized interfaces like Elvui and Tukui.

This is a good thing. Have you remove all the functions related to the minimap button?

Also the rework that shoudl be done is a complete rebuild of the UI to skip the use of various frames and have more consistancy over all pages

Nope xD I'm an idiot. I will remove them for the next beta ^^"

More information about that is coming really really soon
