Skada restructuring and switching to Blizzard_Menu (new framework), replacement for UIDropDownMenu

Description

ABOUT ME :
world of warcraft, 20 years of my life.^^


WHAT HAVE I DONE :
a fully revision means ...

additions :
f.e. additional powertypes in the Power.lua file.


api : 
fully +11.0.0 ready 


descriptions :
all deleted; exceptions

1. Menu.lua - Blizzard_Menu (new framework), replacement for UIDropDownMenu.
2. marker for the outer functions (start /end), folder Modules all files.

i need time to document the rest in a meaningful way.


locale :
only deDE.lua and enUS.lua are now inherent. if someone needs another language file, proceed as follows

1. download the last Skada (version 10.0.2) of  zarnivoop,
    cause the enUS.lua file in Skada Revision TWW is an extension and based on them.
2. copy the language file you need from 1. into the Skada folder Locale.
3. add the missing L["here your translation"]'s entries to it. 
    f.e. use MS Excel, LibreOffice Calc, etc. to determine the missing entries.
4. add the language file from 2. into embeds.xml;
    f.e esES.lua for spanish
    ...
    <!--                Localization [ Include ]            -->
    <Include file="Locale\deDE.lua"/>
    <Include file="Locale\enUS.lua"/>
    <Include file="Locale\esES.lua"/>
   ...
5. save embeds.xml.


revision, readability, stucture :
readability, structure and *.lua files are completely revised.

 

WHY HAVE I DONE THIS :
initially for myself, respectively as basis for other developers. an addon like Skada shouldn't die.


USAGE :
if you used currently a default Skada then

  1. f.e. save your current version into a new folder
    1.1 ->  folder ...\World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\"name of your Skada version".
    1.2 ->  folder ...\World of Warcraft\_retail_\WTF\Account\y\SavedVariables\Skada.lua,  y = your entry
    as "small " backup!

    general the best way is
    1.3 save your Cache, Interface and WTF folders in a new folder f.e. "your foldername (2025-02-02)"
    as "big" backup; regardless of skada, you should do this periodically!

  2. after 1.1, 1.2 and/or 1.2 ; if installed over curseforge, select your installed version and use the context menu for
    2.1 -> Delete Setting (Saved Variables)
    2.2 -> Delete Addon

    else

    delete 
    2.1 -> folder 1.1
    2.2 -> file 1.2
  3.  install Skada Revision TWW

 

HINT :
this version of Skada is only tested for retail ! if you want to use it in

World of Warcraft Classic  -> add -> 11505  <- (currently Version) and/or
Catalysm Classic                -> add ->  40401 <- (currently Version)

into the retail Skada.toc file.

f.e. new first line Skada.toc file for all gaming clients-> ## Interface: 11505, 40401, 110007; then
copy Skada from

folder ..\World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns

into 

folder ..\World of Warcraft\_classic_\Interface\AddOns and/or
folder ..\World of Warcraft\_classic_era_\Interface\AddOns


have fun with it and greetings Baltha
