Hello together,
I want to show you my Project "WoW-Addon-Updater", my first Project I've realized with FreePascal and Lazarus, licensed under GPL-3. At first, many many thanks to all people working on Free Pascal and Lazarus for this great Software. It helps me a lot to learn programming and create platform independent software. Additional many thanks to Benito van der Zander for the Package Internet Tools, I've using for WoW-Addon-Updater too.
The
WoW-Addon-Updater is used to install and update interface extensions (=Addons) for the MMORPG World of Warcraft. This program can be used as an alternative to the application "Curse Client", which is currently available only on Microsoft Windows.
http://www.braier.net/wow-addon-updaterThe idea was born as a hobby out of a desire to develop a cross-platform graphical solution to keep a collection of Addons up to date, which runs under Microsoft Windows, GNU / Linux and Mac OS X. The result was successfully tested on 64 bit versions of Windows 7, Windows 10, Ubuntu (LTS), Arch Linux and macOS Sierra 10.12.
The program currently supports two languages: English and German.
The Addon collection is managed in a table, and stored in an XML-based text file in addition to the individual settings of the program. Backups are automatically created to allow a later recovery of the Addon database in case of an error.
Addon entries can be added and removed easily. After checking for updates, new or revised versions will be highlighted. These can be installed or updated, individual Addons can be (un-) selected before. The progress of individual program operations is indicated by a status bar.
I hope you like the program and it will be useful for you. For your suggestions, praise and criticism as well as any kind of feedback I am always open, please write me here, on GitHub or an email at
dev@braier.net.
Thank you for your Feedback
