Thank you for your support and interest in Compendium. Before I played Lotro, I primary played World of Warcraft. I was so use to plugins that assisted with questing that it spurred my desire to try something like that (at least on a smaller scale) for Lotro.

The data is out of date, you are correct. The quest information for a couple releases ago and onward is missing from Compendium. Turbine's Lorebook being the primary source of that information went somewhat inactive in different ways. The biggest way is that they no longer have accurate coordinates listed with their maps. If I rebuild the database with what they currently have, it will wipe out the coordinates for all the lower level quests, which I think are in a good state. Of course, I could rework thing on my side to be more selective on what I include and exclude, but that just takes time. If I had the time, I'd love to just scrap my current approach to it, and start over.

I have been using this plugin more and more then I got to a dead end. Now it is back to LOTRO Wiki to research, something my system protests greatly about if I am logged on at the same time. I read that you will be incorporating Rohan into it, but what about before the Rohan expansion? Dunlending, Great River, and even things before that? (the zones leading up to Rohan)

Currently I am working on the epic and need to go to several places to see if they saw a Nazgul or not. So, I find one quest, finish it, close the game, look up the next (looking at maps, so isn't practical to copy/paste text and I don't own a printer) then log on and hope I remember the right place.

It would be so nice to have this material. Have I done something wrong? Perhaps in my install or setup?

My kudos to you to have done so wonderfully, I would never have had the patience with the data tables or people.

For anyone having issues with client crashes...:

The problem was Alt Inventory. Garan has been working on it.

For anyone having issues with client crashes...:

I had problems with crashes caused by "alt inventory". they continued after this plugin was updated. interesting enough - the last plugin being unloaded which was mentioned in the chat was "compendium".
I disabled "compendium" to check if something might change...and...no more crashes.
I don`t want to say that there is a problem with "compendium" - as noone here saying something about it - but it might happen in combination with "alt inventory".

Cheers

I do need to get the quests and deeds in. I've held off a little longer as I'd like to try to incorporate the lotrowiki quests in and I'm not sure they've covered all the new ones as of yet. I had been using lorebook, but there isn't as much detailed information there any longer.

Hi
Thanks for your job, plugin is really awesome.

I decided to return to LOTRO after 10 months, updated plugin, but I can't see any new quests from RoR, even have the problem with RoI quests.
What is the current status of 1.8.0 beta? Can I help a little as a player with IT skills (for now, maybe later I'll try to help with code)?

On the configuration tab, there is a setting to choose "Large" font. You then will need to click the "Reload" button.

lunarwtr

is there an online source of this information that you are aware of that I can try to pull where they drop from? If you have a list of course I'd be interested.

Gwilliwen

First let me say that I just discovered this plugin and I ADORE it.

Secondly, I would love if it if you could add additional info to the rare drops--namely, what they drop from, at least for things like farming or prospecting where it is always the same. Certain drops for scholar dyes, for example, come from farming, and it isn't easy to find that information in-game. I was just about to farm for onion skins, but couldn't remember off the top of my head if they came from yellow onions or green onions.

If you would like me to come up with a list for those that I know, let me know.

Keep making plugins--those of yours I've seen so far are great.

Is there a way to make the text even bigger then it is now? I run the game in 2560x1440 and the text is way to small.

I've been looking into added compression algorithm to Compendium, so I can fit more data into the databases for quest, deeds, etc.. Perhaps this will be a way for me to get around having to parse so much data that is in varying formats. I could just have full text articles that are for the quests, and then index only the title, zone, & levels. I realize this would be taking away in some regards, but would make management of it much easier.

The only reason I hadn't done this before is trying to keep size to a minimum.

Thoughts?

I eventually need to break down and do another update of this. To do so I will be abandoning the lorebook quest list in favor of lotro-wiki, which at this point is more up to date. The reason the quests are missing is most likely because lorebook has not been updated in some time, and their quest mini-maps (from which I get many of the coordinates) are also broken.

If you can give me examples of the quests I am missing I can use them when the time comes to see if my update is successful.

micokeman

First of all, a HUGE thank you for putting this together! It is what I have been looking for for quite some time now.

Secondly, is there a way for me to modify or update the list? I am going through my completed items and am finding some quests not listed. What is the best way for all to benefit from updates needed?

Dasohe

Thanks! Your work looks amazing I'll try it

I kept items farily up to date for this expansion until update 6. Turbine hasn't published new item data yet.

Lorebook article entries have been somewhat broken for deeds and quests, so I haven't done any work there for isengard yet, other than implement requested features that folks have asked for.

I've been focusing on other projects at the moment, but will come back to Compendium eventually.
