WORKBOARD NOTE: This is a video tutorial series, I have completed the first episode and it is currently being uploaded. Just using this to post referred links and stuff for now. Also, what section of the forums should I post it in? It's basically UI modding the character create screen.
Introduction
What's up guys, this is going to be a video series of how to mod the interface and will branch out of various areas, starting with modding the Create a Character screen. It will hopefully teach you how to work your way around the interface XML and Lua files, but more importantly it will hopefully help you teach yourself in the future.
Disclaimers
- I am hopeless and seeing through things like this, so don't be too surprised if it comes to an abrupt halt. I apologize for that, but it's just something I do and can't promise any different.
- This is all going to be for the WoW 3.3.5a client, however I doubt that much will change in terms of using Lua and XML for newer versions.
