| Tóm tắt: | Addons are a really exciting topic, as they allow you to modify your game and improve your
gaming experience. Only a few online games allow you to modify the user interface to such an
extent as World of Warcraft does; you can replace the complete user interface or you can add
completely new functionality to it.
There are literally thousands of addons available, and hundreds of helpful macros can be
found on the Internet. You are probably already using a lot of addons and macros as a World
of Warcraft player, but do you know exactly how your addons and macros work? Virtually all
players make use of these tools, but there are only a few people who can write their own or
modify existing ones. You will soon be one of them!
Addons can modify almost every aspect of the game's user interface. There are many
small addons that make simple but powerful additions to the interface. For example, you can
add timestamps to the chat frame with just a few lines of code; you will see how in Chapter 6.
Or you can add tooltips to links in the chat; you will try this easy example in Chapter 4. There
are also some big addons, however, that consist of tens of thousands of lines of code. So you
will also build a big, advanced addon in this book, a fully featured multiplayer Texas Hold'em
poker game within the game. |
