I'm currently leveling a hunter and using V2.4 of Tonic Bars. Everytime I level up, all my quick bars become visable like i'm editing their settings. I then have to open the options panel and close it, and everything goes back to normal. This is happening everytime I level this character, but only on this character.

EDIT: This happens on any character that levels. As far as I know I'm using the non-beta 2.4 version. Any thoughts on why this is happening?

I've encountered a difficulty with installing the plugin. I unzipped and extracted into my Plugins folder without changing the names of anything. But when I loaded up the game TonicBars would not load. At the time I had been helping someone else figure out how to install plugins on their own system, speaking to him through TeamSpeak. Of course, I could not see his screen and even though he described what he was seeing I couldn't figure out why it was not working. So I downloaded the latest version myself and tried to install it... with the same results.

I caught the source of my problem by looking at the file path within the WinZip window (it displays all the individual files in the window rather than showing the folder icon... needed to stretch it out nearly the width of my screen to see that part). This showed me that the Tonic folder was residing in another folder named tonicbars. To solve this problem I had to extract the file in another place (I used my downloads folder), open tonicbars folder, copy the contents, and then paste into the Plugins folder.

What made it confusing is that I clearly remembered simply opening the zip file and extracting directly into the Plugins folder in the past. So I checked other updates that, ahem... I had neglected to install before, and some zip files had the additional folder, and some (like the version I had been using) didn't.

If there is some reason why you must put the plugin folder and text files within another folder in order to compress them, perhaps you should update the Readme file to include the solution above: extract to the download folder or to another place than the LOTRO folder, open tonicbars, copy and paste contents into Plugins folder.

Now, perhaps all that could have been avoided if I had a better zip program that not only displayed the folder icons but also allowed my to only extract the part I wanted, but WinZip and WinRAR both were uncooperative, so I had to manually do the job. WinRAR displayed the folder icon and allowed me to navigate inside to see the contents, but when I highlighted the contents and extracted, it still extracted the whole zip-file including the enveloping folder

Hello,
I don't know if this problem has has been brought up here.
Everytime I create quickslots and add skills for example the port to my house or mounting the Galadhrim War-Horse or some shortcuts for emotes it happens that some of them disappear after relogging oder logging onto another character.
Especially the above mentioned skills.
Is this a known issue i can fix somehow, or am I the only one having this problem.
Anyway, great plug-in, keep up the good work

I just wanted to say I agree with Dread's number 2 request below. As a burglar it would be nice to pop up a bar with my buff skills OOC if I don't have Quiet Knife, Gambler, or Mischief as a current buff.

Farothhen,
Thanks for the help, I incorporated the changes you made and put them into SVN. I'll be creating a new beta soon. I still have not received your new files, did you send them? Thanks!

I'm currently looking into the german files of Beta 2 and in parts they are changing with every release . Please look into MenuStrings.lua:

I'm responsible for the german translation and Farothhen/Daniel Diehl are the same person. I don't know the name of the french translator, but please change it. Thanks!

You'll get the new files today.

edit: What about the missing explanations? In the new english files they are gone so specific areas have no introduction.

MenuStrings.lua (~82 ff):
There is no english description if you take the rest of the file as standard or the text is different.

But I won't destroy this comments here and will use the bugtracker...

NuclearTonic

Thank you everyone for the reports. I know what the issues are, but fixing them breaks other things... I'm trying to figure out a good way to address them and not break more things. Thanks for all the help!

Cannot tell which version i'm even using at the moment. Downloaded the latest, and in game it says 2.4_beta2. Trying to get an extensions bar to work with my hunter, as there are not enough hotbars for the amount of Travel spells this class has. Anyway, i can't seem to get it to extend, after setting it up with the Quick setup for Hunter travel. And yeah, moving it, makes it dance around the screen.
Also, resizing is screwed up. Changing the icon size from 36, to 28, just cuts off the icon's lowerright corner, which is not at all good.

.Regards.

I am new to Tonic bars, I downloaded beta before reading everything. That being said I did do reading and checking before posting. The extender bars did not work in 2.5beta, I could not set orientation and dragging them caused them to float around the screen, the only way to fix was to remove the bar. I thought I might have been doing something wrong but after doing research and watching the video nothing popped up. I decided to try the previous version it worked, there are problems but the extended bars are usable.

Not sure where to post this and it may be coming in the next version but a trigger for being mounted would be a great addition.

I really like 2.4 and if I don't get 2.5 and this continues to work I'm satisfied, thank you.

So I was seeing the "skills disappear of the tonicbar after switching characters" bug, (consistenly, I might add) so I decided to play around a bit. I was able to get it to save my changes if I also fiddled around with the options of the bar after I rearranged the skills. So it appears that somewhere in there the "save" isn't been called correctly if you only rearrange skills.

First I wanna say thanks so much for an awesome plugin. I don't know how I ever lived without tonic bars.

That said, I'm using the most recent beta and am also having issues saving skills, items, etc. on tonic bars between sessions. Another thing I have noticed is that sometimes I drag something onto the bar and it will cause another thing to disappear off the bar. I can drag the item back to the bar and then sometimes something else will disappear sometimes not. It's all hit and miss as to whether the items/skills I place on the bar will stay or not. I have also reported a ticket on curseforge.

Anyway thanks for the hard work and I hope my reporting this issue helps you workout any bugs.

Thanks so much for making this great plugin! When it works, it's the greatest thing for LOTRO.

However, I need to echo the Save problem as others.

Can get the layout exactly the way I want for my Rune-Keeper (including triggers, travel, etc). However, when I logout and come back, not everything is saved. (Have tried 'Exiting', unloading the plugin, and 'Logging Out' - none help. Can re-position skills, exit again, and the SAME ones will be missing.

I was hoping all the work you did on 2.5 beta 2 would have helped, but there was not any change.

Again, thanks for an amazing plugin!

Hey NT, great to see you working on this must-have plugin again!
Almost my entire kin uses it, we can't imagine LoTRO without it!

the new beta looks nice, the drag and drop works much better now...
However, it still wont save any skills/items that are placed in the bars between sessions.

Beyond the bugs, I have 2 requests (I'm speaking for *many* people here.):

1.) Scaling...

We really need the scaling to...well...scale! lol
The icons do not scale with the button borders and they get cut up and become unrecognizable.

This is the number one 'complaint' I have (and hear about) with TonicBars.


2.) And/Or options...

It would be awesome if we had the choice to use 'and' or 'or' as choices when selecting triggers.

as it is, it seems to always use 'or'.

For instance; I would like some bars to show up ONLY it I have a certain buff AND am in combat.

One bar could be set to always show in combat, another could be set to show in combat ONLY if you do not have a buff, another could be set to show out of combat ONLY if a buff is active... etc.

how about a checkbox to select the 'and' or 'or'?





Thanks for this awesome plugin NT, It makes LoTRO feel whole again!
The amount of people who use (and love) this plugin far outweighs the small amount of feedback you get on this site.

Don't get discouraged, we're out here and we appreciate it!

I DLed the beta version and had a horrible time with the extensions. I could set up the extension and even drag stuff to them and things would work just fine... Till I either logged out. When I logged back in... Everything I put in the extension was gone. Happens every time. So I reverted back to the non bets one.
