Dirty Boot Core

Dirty Boot Core is the shared foundation addon for the Dirty Boot addon family.

It does not create gameplay UI by itself. It provides a small shared toolkit used by other Dirty Boot addons, including shared theme values, print helpers, number/string/bool normalization, clamping, and SavedVariables default-copy helpers.

Requirements

  • World of Warcraft Retail.

Dirty Boot Core should be installed as its own addon folder:

 
Interface/AddOns/DirtyBootCore

Other Dirty Boot addons may list DirtyBootCore as a required dependency.

Provided API

Dirty Boot Core exposes the global table:

 
DirtyBootCore

Current helper areas:

  • Toolkit metadata from Core.lua.
  • Shared color/theme values from Theme.lua.
  • Utility helpers from Utils.lua.

Included Helpers

  • DirtyBootCore:Print(message, addonName)
  • DirtyBootCore:Clamp(value, minValue, maxValue)
  • DirtyBootCore:CopyDefaults(defaults, target)
  • DirtyBootCore:NormalizeBool(value, defaultValue)
  • DirtyBootCore:NormalizeNumber(value, defaultValue, minValue, maxValue)
  • DirtyBootCore:NormalizeString(value, defaultValue, allowed)

Safety Boundaries

Dirty Boot Core is intentionally passive.

It does not:

  • Cast spells.
  • Target units.
  • Assist units.
  • Run macros.
  • Create protected action buttons.
  • Parse combat logs.
  • Poll gameplay state.
  • Replace Blizzard secure frames.
