📝 About

A personal project to freshen up WotLK's interface. The goal isn't to revolutionize anything, but rather to clean up old code, add some nice Retail features, and document everything properly.

What's been done so far:

• A login screen with custom BLP animation
• Retail's NineSlice system ported to WotLK
• Mixins that work (mostly)
• LuaDoc documentation to make the code readable

The goal:

• Clean up FrameXML and GlueXML by removing unnecessary private server code
• Keep addon compatibility (don't touch frame names (for FrameXML))
• Have cleaner, documented code

This is mainly a personal exercise in code review and improvement. Sometimes there's nothing to change, sometimes there is.

📊 Progress

GlueXML (Login/Character Screens)

• AccountLogin.lua
• AccountLogin.xml
• CharacterSelect.lua
• CharacterSelect.xml
• The rest

FrameXML (In-Game Interface)

• There is everything to do.

Shared Systems

• BLPSequence.lua - Custom animation system
• NineSlice.lua - Modern layout framework
• Mixin.lua - Inheritance patterns
• AtlasHelper.lua - Texture management
• AHAH ! Good Question !

Example of BLP Sequence (animated login screen)

BLPSequence:Create("LoginScreen", "Interface\\AccountLoginUI\\ui\\frame_", 300, 30, true, {
    filesPerFrame = 2,
    layout = "horizontal"
});

All code is documented with LuaDoc comments for easy reading and maintenance.

• ✅ Remove unnecessary code for private server
• ✅ Provide complete open-source documentation
• 🔄 Create a reusable framework for WotLK servers
• 🔄 Enhance visual fidelity with AI upscaling
