I've narrowed it down that it has something to do with the 'Defer this until next login' arrow on the main window (not on the popup).

Hello Thurallor,

Really like this plugin - it has helped me with many different tasks in game.

I do want you to know that although I haven't been able to narrow down exactly what action is causing it (still working on that), I've narrowed it down that something to do with your plugin is causing the long-standing camera zoom bug to happen more frequently for me. If you're unfamiliar with the bug, here, here and here will explain it a bit better. There are a ton of threads about it. I'm fairly certain it has to do with the closing of the main window and changing/losing focus....but I'll keep working on it and update here when I think I might have it figured out.

This bug is annoying because the only way to fix it is to completely exit the game. Logging the character out has no affect once the bug starts.

I narrowed it to your plugin by only having that plugin load, having the reminder popups set to "at login" and the only actions I performed were opening the main plugin window by clicking on the icon, resetting the timer and closing the window via the X - to have the mouse zoom suddenly stop working. It's pretty predictable.

Yes, that does work great. The notification popup works for me and the repeat options as well. Thanks so much for adding those features.

Thurallor

Hey robhupf,

Please try the new version (1.40). It adds (optional) popup notifications.

It also adds support (in a way) for your desire to have reminders that occur, for example, every 20 minutes. You can configure the "postpone" button that appears when a reminder expires. Right-click on it to define what it does.

Best regards,
Thurallor

Maybe you could make it an option when creating a reminder whether to have a pop up reminder or not.

Thanks again for all you do.

Thurallor

An audible notification isn't possible, but a visual one is. My sense is that most users would find it annoying to have a window open every time a reminder expires, which they would then have to click on to close. But maybe an optional message could appear in the middle of the screen, and/or a more conspicuous change in the reminders icon.

robhupf

Thanks for the replies Thurallor. I did some more testing and the countdown timer function does work. My guess is that I missed the reminder firing because the only indicator is the number on the Reminders icon. Is there not anyway to have an audible or popup reminder when the reminder goes off?

Thurallor

Hi robhupf,

Currently there is no way to do this automatically. I'll think about a user-friendly way to add it.

You can do this. Simply create a new reminder by clicking the big "+" button, then click on the "Time" value to change the delay to 20 minutes. (You can also set the default delay for newly-created reminders, in the global settings window.)

Not currently supported (except in special cases), but I'll think about it. (The supported cases are: crafting cooldowns, daily "tasks", ingredient crates, and repeatable quests.)

This is already implemented. All characters on a server can view all of the reminders on that server. If you mean something else, please specify.

Very glad to hear that, and thanks for the feedback!

I'm still experimenting with this plugin as I am reminder junkie outside of LOTRO. During the festival some ideas came to me that I dont see a way to do in your plugin.

1)Making a reminder for x minutes past the hour every hour (example: Remind me at 10 mins past the hour, every hour)

2)Making an ad hoc timer for x minutes from now (example: Remind me 20 minutes from now)

3)An option (and maybe this is already there) to repeat said reminder after it goes off

4)Ability to share reminders between characters.

I highly appreciate all the work you do for the game and I use many of your plugins. I look forward to see what else you do with this and your other plugins.

Thurallor

My nagging apparently was successful, and the problem was fixed in today's game update.

Thurallor

This is due to a bug introduced in Update 22 that breaks any plugin that has Russian language support (of which Reminders is one). I'm clinging to the forlorn hope that SSG will fix the bug in tomorrow's hotfix. If not, then I'll release updates to all of my plugins with a workaround. Meanwhile, you can apply the workaround yourself by installing the latest version of Listbox Patch. That will get rid of all of the "†" stuff and occasional Russian text.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but you can blame SSG for basically not caring about plugins.

Heya So I just downloaded the plugin and have a few issues. Well, one major one Instead of options, etc. I only get ?† for virtually everything in the options panel (excluding my toon's name). I'm using the English client and am somewhat baffled as this has never happened before Any chance you might know what causes this???

P.S. And now I'm getting this: ... Rings Online\Plugins\Thurallor\Reminders\Window.lua:167: bad argument #1 to 'unpack' (table expected, got nil)

P.P.S. Never mind, it all works now Had to fiddle around with the PluginData as well

Thurallor

Do you see any error messages?

You need to make your own tabs. Right-click on your existing tab and choose "Create tab". Or click the little "+" sign to the right of your existing tab.

Then you can go into the settings and choose, for each of your alts, which tab you want the automatic reminders to be placed under.

lordstalker

Thanks. I've opened and closed the settings panel a bunch of times. Sometimes I can't open the settings panel. And everything gets put into a single tab. Hoped it would make tabs for each of my alts. Will try 1.36 and see what happens.

Thurallor

Thanks for reporting the issue, I'll take a look.

Edit: Found the root cause, will release a new version (1.36) shortly. Meanwhile, you can fix the problem by merely opening and closing the settings panel once.
