AddonLoader

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

AddonLoader is an addon that loads other addons automatically, as and when they are needed, which speeds up the logon process.

Note that addons need to be aware of AddonLoader for this to work; if you see "X-LoadOn-..." tags in their .toc files, they are!

Documentation: See http://www.wowpedia.org/AddonLoader

Your hook will run every time that button is clicked, which isn't ideal. You should limit it to calling LoadAddon() once. As for PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD you can't use that when loading an addon on demand, it has nothing to do with AddonLoader. You really should not be using that event, you probably meant PLAYER_LOGIN. But either way, you should just do your initialization after ADDON_LOADED unless you need specific game information, in which case you can use IsLoggedIn() to see if PLAYER_LOGIN has already passed.

Why does this addon install LibDataBroker even in -nolib mode? The other two libs (LibStub and CallbackHandler-1.0) are properly removed from AddonLoader and installed separately, but LibDataBroker is not, it's kept in the addon folder. Is that because LibDataBroker doesn't exist as a library in the addon packer?

AddonLoader is stable, easy to use, and works. :-)

Addonloader causes my chat links to show on mouseover, for some reason. I had been looking what did it for weeks; I was surprised of the culprit.

What do you mean, angelrock? AddonLoader is stable, trivially easy to use, and works. It does not do what Load-it does nor vice versa, they are for different purposes. Maybe you're confusing AddonLoader with Addon Control Panel http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/acp.aspx which is also stable, easy to use, and works.

Load-it is stable, easier, and works. No raider should be without it.

They serve completely different purposes, so I'm not sure why you would come here saying that one is better than the other.

It'd be great if a bit more info on what exactly this addon does were listed here (I know devs tend to spend alot of time developing, so documenting may not always be at the top of your mind).
I found out about this addon via Tekkub's post: http://forums.wowace.com/showpost.php?p=248539&postcount=28, and it sounds great.
