This tutorial will function both as a simple tutorial for those who may not have any experience with WildStar’s addon system, AND as a way of testing our syntax highlighting plugins for Lua and how well tutorial posting works in this theme.
Before we dive into any real addons that have sprung up during the WildStar beta (or even any addons with a real use), it would be worthwhile to cover a bit of how WildStar handles addons, and the process by which create them. If you’re already familiar with addon development, much of this may be redundant; I apologize. The final form of the addon will also be included as a .zip file at the end of the tutorial post.
