How to update old Mods

RSram · July 2020

There are lots of old mods that are now outdated due to no support from the original programmer. So I know how to program in LUA, but, I'm not so knowledgeable with the ESO programming interface. So how does ESO determine that an addon is out of date, so I can fix the code and make it up to date?

The "out of date" message itself can be fixed by editing the add-on's TXT file and modifying the line:

## APIVersion: 100031

to be the latest API version (100031 at this time). Note that this only removes the out-of date message...the add-on may still break if it uses old/removed/changed API functions.

You can also just check the "allow out dated add-ons" box on the add-on screen.
Most add-ons are fully functional even though the client thinks they're out of date.

For keeping add-ons up to date I use Minion. (those that can be updated)

I don't worry about Out of Date addons that work.

Only Broken Addons.

Note, Lib Files, which are Databases for addons, are usually the parts that need to be kept up to date these days. So if an addon is not working, verify you are running the needed Lib files.
