=== Initial Load === * PreGame - First, the WS client loads a few pre-game UI AddOn components for the login, and other pre-game screens, from the same sets of UI files used for general AddOns, which are located in both "[usersettings]\NCSOFT\WildStar\AddOns" directory and the game data files in the asset path "UI". * Discovery - In the load process for any AddOn, the client looks for sub-folders containing a valid [[TOC file]]s, with a 'toc.xml' name and opens and executes the file to load the AddOn. For a user AddOn to be considered valid, it must have a single word folder somewhere inside the "[usersettings]\...\AddOns" folder, and must have a file named 'toc.xml', such as a 'MyAddon' folder with a valid 'toc.xml' file underneath. That is all that is required. * Reload - During any load or reload of the UI, TOC files will be searched for again and AddOns or files that didn't exist during initial load, can be loaded by the game later on. This makes it possible to install additional AddOns, or load updated TOC files, without restarting the client.
