AIO addon framework for LonelyIce

AIO server scripts and WoW 3.3.5 client addon packaged together. Requires mod-ale. The launcher installs AIO_Client into Interface/AddOns; headless administrators distribute this addon to each player.

Upstream: https://github.com/Rochet2/AIO.git

Pinned source: 087e279cdf90ff5d4343dc1569e9d3c3c5cc8548.

This repository contains packaging, build configuration and patches, not a fork of upstream. Add its path to LONELYICE_PLUGIN_DIRS when building LonelyIce. Install the resulting package through the launcher or --pkg install.

Building

Requires a LonelyIce build using core ABI lonelyice-ac-2, CMake, Git and the core's C++ dependencies. Add this repository's absolute path to the semicolon-separated LONELYICE_PLUGIN_DIRS CMake option; CMake fetches the pinned upstream revision and applies the patches in patches/. It never modifies your upstream checkout. Windows x64 and Linux x64 are supported.

cmake -S /path/to/lonelyice -B /path/to/build -DLONELYICE_CORE_DIR=/path/to/core -DLONELYICE_PLUGIN_DIRS=/path/to/aio-plugin
cmake --build /path/to/build --config RelWithDebInfo --target aio-files

The plugin folder is written under the build's bin/plugins directory (bin/RelWithDebInfo/plugins with Visual Studio). Package it with LonelyIce --pkg pack <plugin-folder> <output-folder>. The release ZIP contains both platform libraries where applicable. Source revisions are recorded in plugin.json; the port's source and patches remain available in this repository under the upstream license.

Installing and using

Install aio from the catalog; the launcher resolves its mod-ale dependency. Restart the server and apply client addons with the launcher or --pkg apply --client <WoW-folder>. On a headless server copy client/addons/AIO_Client from the installed package to each player's Interface/AddOns/AIO_Client directory. Restart the game client or reload its UI.

AIO is a framework for custom Lua interfaces; installing it alone does not add a ready-made gameplay interface. Consumer packages should depend on aio, put server Lua under lua/, and load it with local AIO = require("AIO"). Addon messages and client-supplied arguments must be validated by each server handler. The upstream examples are not enabled automatically.

Run the isolated host smoke test with lua tests/smoke.lua /path/to/AIO_Server (Lua 5.2 or LuaJIT).

Mythic Plus uses its own MPUi protocol and does not become an AIO interface automatically. A mocked Lua host smoke test verified bootstrap, event registration, message serialization and protocol separation; actual ALE and WoW client interaction still requires in-game testing.
