API:LoadResources

UI Lua API · Interface functions
Version: WAR 1.4.8

Loads an interface definition XML file from a folder.

LoadResources(directory, xmlFile, flag)

Arguments

directory

string – Folder the file and the files it refers to are read from, for example "Interface/InterfaceCore".

xmlFile

string – Name of the XML file in that folder, for example "InterfaceCore.xml".

flag

boolean – Passed on to the loader. The stock UI always passes IsInternalBuild().

Returns

Nothing.

Details

• The client reads and processes the XML file. The stock UI uses it for the font definitions and for InterfaceCore.xml, an <Interface> file that pulls in the pre-game windows with <Include file="..." /> entries relative to directory.
• flag must be a real boolean; nil or a number raises the generic Invalid Parameters message.
• The function needs at least three arguments and only reads the last three.
• The stock UI only calls it from interfacecore/interfacecore.lua, during start-up.

Errors

None besides the generic Invalid Parameters message when an argument has the wrong type.

Example

From interfacecore/interfacecore.lua:

LoadResources( "interface/interfacecore/fonts", fontDirectory.."/fonts.xml", IsInternalBuild() )
LoadResources( "Interface/InterfaceCore", "InterfaceCore.xml", IsInternalBuild() )
