Implement the SavedVariablesPerCharacter TOC directive that many addons
use to store different settings per character (Bartender, Dominos,
MoveAnything, WeakAuras, etc.). Without this, all characters share the
same addon data file.
Per-character files are stored as <AddonName>.<CharacterName>.lua.saved
alongside the existing account-wide <AddonName>.lua.saved files. The
character name is resolved from the player GUID at world entry time.
Changes:
- TocFile::getSavedVariablesPerCharacter() parses the TOC directive
- AddonManager loads/saves per-character vars alongside account-wide vars
- Character name set from game handler before addon loading
Addons can now persist data across sessions using the standard WoW
SavedVariables pattern:
1. Declare in .toc: ## SavedVariables: MyAddonDB
2. Use the global in Lua: MyAddonDB = MyAddonDB or {default = true}
3. Data is automatically saved on logout and restored on next login
Implementation:
- TocFile::getSavedVariables() parses comma-separated variable names
- LuaEngine::loadSavedVariables() executes saved .lua file to restore globals
- LuaEngine::saveSavedVariables() serializes Lua tables/values to valid Lua
- Serializer handles tables (nested), strings, numbers, booleans, nil
- Save triggered on PLAYER_LEAVING_WORLD and AddonManager::shutdown()
- Files stored as <AddonDir>/<AddonName>.lua.saved
Updated HelloWorld addon to track login count across sessions.
Foundation for WoW-compatible addon support:
- Vendor Lua 5.1.5 source as a static library (extern/lua-5.1.5)
- TocParser: parses .toc files (## directives + file lists)
- LuaEngine: Lua 5.1 VM with sandboxed stdlib (no io/os/debug),
WoW-compatible print() that outputs to chat, GetTime() stub
- AddonManager: scans Data/interface/AddOns/ for .toc files,
loads .lua files on world entry, skips LoadOnDemand addons
- /run <code> slash command for inline Lua execution
- HelloWorld test addon that prints to chat on load
Integration: AddonManager initialized after asset manager, addons
loaded once on first world entry, reset on logout. XML frame
parsing is deferred to a future step.
