Addons Settings Test

Addons Settings Test is a built-in development addon for Chronicles of Arcadia. It does not change gameplay. It serves as a reference implementation for addon authors who want to integrate their own options into the client Game Settings UI and Addon Manager.

Use it to see how the addon settings API works in practice: registration, persistence, UI controls, tooltips, and search tags.

What it demonstrates

This addon registers a full settings page with every supported control type.

Controls section:

Checkbox: enable or disable a sample feature.

Slider: integer value from 0 to 100 with steps of 5.

Dropdown: three selectable options.

Choices section:

Radio buttons: two mutually exclusive options.

Color picker: RGB color selection.

All values are stored in AddonsSettingsTest_Settings and saved with the game variable system.

How to use

Open the settings page:

Type /addonsettingstest in chat, or open the Addon Manager and click Addons Settings Test.

Debug information:

Type /addonsettingstestdebug to print registration and API status to chat.

For addon developers

This project shows how to:

Register an addon with AddonManager.

Publish a settings page through GameSettings:RegisterAddonSettingsPages.

Queue registration when the Game Settings API is not ready yet.

Define sections, tooltips, default values, and search tags for each setting.

Persist custom settings with SaveVariables.

If you are building a new addon and want your options to appear in the official settings menu, use this addon as a starting template.

Notes

Category: Development.

Author: PlayerNet Games.

Audience: developers and testers, not end players.

Impact: safe to keep installed. It only exposes sample settings and does not affect combat, UI, or progression.

Support

If something does not appear in Game Settings, run /addonsettingstestdebug and check whether the settings page registered correctly.
