About APIDebugger

Screenshot

Developer Tool for API documentation. Useless to the general public.

An API Debugger made into an addon format, based entirely on code available at thewarwiki.com. It registers all event handlers, and will print event information to the debug window when they occur. Basic framework for printing special variables at time of event included in lua comments.

If anyone wishes to use it, feel free to add information regarding the events to http://thewarwiki.com/wiki/API:Event_List so that all may benefit.

TODO: Add SavedVariables data collection

WARNING: Do not remove the unregister of event UPDATE_PROCESSED unless you have to. It fires every frame.

UPDATE 1.8: Due to changes how loading works, will initialize at ENTER_WORLD or RELOAD_INTERFACE. Once in game, you can manually edit the lua file and tell it to NOT delayed initialize, and it will initialize fine if you're reloading the interface, but don't leave it set that way, as it will crash when you restart the client. If this occurs, you need to edit the lua to perform the delayed initialize again.

Also, the DevBar tool is a great compliment to apidebugging, available at http://code.google.com/p/devbar/. Due to copyright issues since its a default UI addon for developers, I will not put the project on Curse.

Installation Guide

Exit "Warhammer Online" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
Verify your WAR Installation Path
That is where you are running WAR from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your Warhammer Online folder. (default is C:\Program Files\Warhammer Online\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start Warhammer Online

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of WAR. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

Nice addon, It help me a lot to understand how "things works" before I create my first add on ;)

BUT I just realised (after few weeks of issues)that this addon crash my client in certain cases.
After a lot of tests, I found that it's always link with "guild events" (each time someone join or leave the guild, my client crash, even when a Calendar Event is set, etc...).

Since I discovered that, I install this addon only when I need (and ask my guild to not planed any events, to not guild anybody etc), but I still need this wonderfull add on :)

Perhaps you could add a little check box to log or not this kind of events/functions (guild related) and unchek it by default or something like this to avoid this kind of crash.

I just hope this message will help people who have crashes for the same reason and you to fix it.

Thanks again for this tool, I will use it for ever, with or without bugs ;)

Make sure you are all updating to 1.8. They changed how loading works, so it won't load properly in 1.7 and earlier.

Get 1.7 for 1.02. Earlier versions will crash to desktop. This is due to changes in how event handlers work.

Version 1.5 seems to crash my client with the new 1.0.2 patch.

Until it populates here, please get 1.5 from http://war.curseforge.com/projects/apidebugger/

This is really silly. I updated to 1.5, however it never realized it. I went and re-pushed 1.5 to release, and I suggest switching. Using an idea offered by Aiiane, I was able to get it working from game start. It checks for the initial loading screen to complete, then initializes. You can catch enter_world now, if you really must see it. I'll go ahead and say, no parameters on it though.

Please update to 1.4

Ok, fixed the issue with needing to disable via the xml file. I made it so you MUST reload to activate the addon. I'll toy with it later to catch other things, however this addon and initial enter world do not play well together.

To use now, just install, open debug window, and hit reloadui

I´m sorry but this one doesn´t work for me. After opening the debug window I´m getting the same error message over & over again.
