Title: [QUESTION] How to backport the level up animation from Cata+ to Vanilla?
Post by: cosminn123 on May 11, 2018, 08:43:58 pm

I'm talking about this message (https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?quality=100&image_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogcdn.com%2Fwow.joystiq.com%2Fmedia%2F2012%2F07%2Flevel-13-beta-1342347916.jpg&client=cbc79c14efcebee57402&signature=08ca3a267a95256f085597c602db339fcb85acc2) "You've reached level...". I've tried messing with the image (https://github.com/Gethe/wow-ui-textures/tree/live/LevelUp) but I can't figure out how to properly do it, or how to really make it into an addon.

I know Caustic WoW had it backported to their wotlk server, as seen in this video. (https://youtu.be/oy5m7TllkW8?t=10m38s)

Thanks for the help!

I can't give you a guide but it is kind of easy UI programming. The texture being an atlas (which I'm not sure pre-wod can use) can be avoided by manually splitting it into multiple parts.
