library dependancy not loaded (maybe)

You need to download the library files separately, they would be listed in the description of which ones you need to pick up.

weird never need to do that before

is it a add that does that library thing, adds the files?

i don't even know how to if its not add as well that does that, would be good if its universal and does for all adds

This has been an issue since the change that allowed them

Just open the Addon UI & look to see if anything is red

If that fails look the addon up on esoui (or via minion) & see if there are any known issues..

You only would need to install them once via Minion and can update them like addons then as well. Theat's the benefit of the libraries. I bet the other addons will use the same libraries so you still need to read their description at www.esoui.com and install the libs.
Get used to it, else you won't be able to use addons properly any more. There are not much addons left where the libs needed are included, as they always trouble the other addons this way.

You could even install all libraries via Minion (addons that start with "Lib") and the ones that the game does not need would not be enabled and would not even disturb you then. So there wouldn't be the need to check which ones you really need.

If you install the addon "Votans Addon list" then the addon will check which of your addons needs which dependency and if you enable the addon the dependencies will be automatically enable as well. So you only need to install the dependencies like explaiend above, and everything else is handled automatically for you as you enable an addon.

i did it but the extra things they required different lib things started conflicting with what some adds required so it went from bad to worse also it hit to performance the the list of lib things that were needed was not small

i found alt only for 2 adds and few seem to work when i have allow outdated adds on, map pins needs update from add creator nothing else wrong but works that's 1alt i found for lore books and skyshards this 2 worked same way but sins map pins only issue is outdated i chose this also got alt for Votan's minimap and harvest map

i lost Votan's fisherman and fish filter and rare fish tracker and master merchant (this wanted v1 lib thing and Votan's wanted v2 sins v2 is update of the other1 both won't work + other issues) uninstalled them, didn't find alts for them merchand is the least important the other 3 are more useful

does any1 know do this adds have alts?

also it hit to performance

I never see any performance issues due to libs. IF then it's the addon using the lib.

And if you are concerned about performance I'd always prefer Destinations, Skyshards and Lorebooks over MapPins btw.
The "outdated" is no issue, it's just a number comparison and will be gone with the next patch, for god's sake, finally! Totally ignore this outdated checkbox, it's nuts and does not tell you *** about if addons work or not.
Check the addons themselves, when did they get their last update and do users report errors. But even libs and addons from 2014 could be really bad outdated and still work 100%. So it's just about try and error and reading the addon comments.

Why do you need any alts for Votans Minimap and HarvestMap? They both work properly fine and performant.
Also Votans Fisherman and Master Merchant work perfetcly fine? What is your error message you will get?

I get the point that you ONLY refer to the outdated point , and this is nothing, as explained 10000 times in many many addon forums meanwhile since 2014 until today, you should worry about. Use the addons and if they work they work.
Don't expect anything to always be bad or broken just because the stupid game checks tell you it is outdated!
Or you do not seem to understand the libraries and how to install them.
Or you use very outdated addons cotaining old libraries which break it. You can find many forum threads about removing embedded/bundled libraris for old addons e.g.
But the addons you have mentioned above perfectly work fine, if you install the libs, enable the "allow outdated addons" checkbox and just use them

Nothing to say more, just install the libs, install the named addons, and try them. If you get any error message related to these addons (you can see by the error message telling you the path where the error happens -> e.g. live/AddOns/AddonName1/AddonName1.lua:<line number>) post them at www.esoui.com at the addon's comment of the addon where the error happens (and please include how to reproduce the error as well as it will help a lot to track the errors down and fix them), and search there in the same comments if anyone else reported it already + gives a workaround.
