Title: [QUESTION] GlueXML / FrameXML Documentation
Post by: Buddiman on June 19, 2013, 04:45:41 pm

Hey guys,

do you know a place where to find the GlueXML and FrameXML functions used in LUA-files for Interface Creation?

wowwikis list is not complete.
Maybe there is already a list of functions and the parameters used out there.

Otherwise I see no other chance than having fun with IDA Pro :/

When you search strings in the binary it displays all the function names as strings. This would give you a reference list which you could compare to the ones on wowwiki / wowdocumentation.

You shouldn't need to know the parameters - when you try to use the functions, it will tell you "expected number value got nil" or something similar, telling you it wanted an integer/float not a nil (no) value. You can get the correct parameters through trial and error through this method.

Ok thank you ;)

When I have enough time I start writing a function documentation :D
