Hello all,
I’m not sure if this is the right forum category for this, so apologies in advance if so.
I was wondering if it is possible to develop an AddOn that modifies the character selection, or if one already exists.
I have a large number of alts and would like to be able to see things such as ilvl at the character selection screen.
Thanks in advance!
If I understand correctly, addons aren’t running yet when you’re at the character selection screen, they only get loaded when you log in to a character. So I don’t think it’s possible for an addon to do what you’re asking.
This is essentially correct. While the lua environment is running for the character screen UI, 3rd party addons get loaded until after your character starts the Enter World process.

Pretty sure that’s just overriding local game assets.
Magic mushroom, what more can I say.
It wasn’t just overriding game assets.

Wow, by design, does not load or run wow addons when you’re at the character select screen. Whatever is shown there isn’t an addon compliant with the ToS.
And while no one in that chat dump explicitly says “you’re breaking ToS, you’re going to get banned” its pretty clear that Semlar knows he’s doing just that.
The context here is it’s a WoW UI developer channel, this is one way of reporting bugs to the UI devs
