Courteous Dungeoneer (available on ESOUI / Minion)

Ancillae_Secretorum · June 27

Hello, "Courteous Dungeoneer" is a small addon for warning your party that you found a chest or a heavy sack inside an instance.
You just have to install it, and when you click a chest or heavy sack while in an instance, it will output a message to party chat. Due to limitations of the API, you then have to hit enter for the message to actually be posted. That's it.

I am looking for bug reports - there are bound to be bugs, I am not a professional coder whatsoever, and furthermore dislike the scripting language used for coding addons

I am also looking for kindly players to confirm the translations of "chest" and "heavy sack" in their localized client. What I figured so far is :

chests = {["de"] = "Truhe", ["en"] = "Chest", ["es"] = "Cofre", ["fr"] = "Coffre", ["ru"] = "Сундук"}
sacks = {["de"] = "Schwerer Sack", ["en"] = "Heavy Sack", ["es"] = "Saco Pesado", ["fr"] = "Sac Lourd", ["ru"] = "Тяжелый Мешок"}

I believe the game is available in chinese and japanese too, and also welcome the translations for these languages.

Thank you

You could always try using in your chatbox

/script SetCVar("language.2", "de")

Replace "de" with the character code for the appropriate language you're testing, e.g. en, es, fr, ru, jp, ...
The UI will reload directly! This will just change the visual String at your UI, but no sounds/videos/other values.

de - German
en - English
es - Spanish
fr - French
ru - Russian
jp - Japanese (only available within a special ESO client program)
zh - Chinese

This way you can see the exact translation ZoS is using and write them down or you can also combine it with something like this

-- Simple function to get reticle target name and type for interactables only
function GetReticleTargetInfo()
    local name
    
    -- Check for interactable objects (chests, heavy sacks, doors, etc.)
    local interactionExists = GetGameCameraInteractableInfo()
    if interactionExists then
        local _, interactableName, _, _, _, _, _, _ = GetGameCameraInteractableActionInfo()
        if interactableName and interactableName ~= "" then
            name = interactableName
        end
    end
            
    -- Output result
    if name then
        d(name)
    else
        d("No target")
    end
    
    return name
end

-- Register the reticle target function as a slash command
SLASH_COMMANDS["/reticle"] = GetReticleTargetInfo

Change your Client Lang with the initial script and then you can use /reticle to return the name to chat so you can copy paste it
Would return:
Chest

But if i change to say change to Chinese it would return
箱子

German etc
Truhe

You can also use this for future addons too, welcome to the world of ESO addon development
