  1. Creating a World of Warcraft Add-on Gabe Hughes CIS 597 – Spring 13

  2. Requirements • Languages • All WoW add-ons are written in .lua, a scripting language useful in games, with extensive API support • WoWAce is an extensive set of libraries that can enhance an Add-on (all documentation found at www.wowace.com) • Knowledge of the World of Warcraft API, database of all commands at www.wowwiki.com

  3. Requirements Cont… • Development Environment • All coding will be done using Notepad++ • Testing will be done in World of Warcraft Live Servers

  4. Pet Battle System • Pets are found in the wild, Pet Trainers, or other Players • Setup in a Pokemon fashion • Turn Based • Broken into types (e.g. Critter, Elemental) • Combat goes until one pet is dead or captured (wild only). • Once a pet is captured, it is added to the list of Battle Pets. • Each type has other types as strengths and weaknesses

  5. Steps to completion • First step will be to form the framework of the Add-on and include basic functionality to automatically swap to a different pet based on mouseover or selecting a pet in the wild. • Second step will be to setup a basic GUI tacked on to the Current Battle Pet Tab that will allow players to select a pet to be used in a fight vs. targeted pet type. • Then setup the swap from step 1 to use the pets set up in the list in set 2 • If time allows, set up functionality for team swapping, since later battles are team based. (PetBattleTeams Add-on) • Clean up the GUI.
