Hiya,

Still working to improve this wonderful tool.

Graz to Chiran for finally getting rid of the euro save bug.

Well, I found it difficult to spread Music among my fellow musicans.
So i wrote some Software to help me out.

A Server and a Client part.
One to create the Songbook DB according to my wishes and an Update programm that takes away the rebuild of the songbook databasefile form the musican.

Best thing is the ability to setup a certain list of instruments i want to export to prevent people to get all my precious files

A simple click on update - done. The musican got the latest version of my Music folder.
At least the files i want to give him...hehe

In detail the updater is conneting to an ftp server, downloading the music files an the already done Songbook Data File.
During update it includes possible own Music files of the user into the Songbook DB File. So the user does not lose his own Music or has to rename or copy anything.

Let me know what you thing about it.

Wow, that's pretty cool, I like it! And it certainly seems really handy for bands. It also looks quite polished already. Are you planning to release a public version?

Greets Master Chiran,

thx for the credit. It's most appreciated.
I am working with the programm for quite some time now managing well over 500 songs with it.
It's performing very good but I did not seriously think about going public with it yet.

Do You really think that someone else may want to use it?

Cheers

I believe there would be at least _some_ a bit more serious bands that might find it really useful. But obviously we are not talking about a huge group of people :-). One option is to post about it on the official Music System/Plugins forum to see if there's interest. Or we can just see if people notice this discussion and contact you about it.

In any case, I'm glad to see stuff like this .

Will there be a modification so this works smoothly on the Mac OS? I'd love to use the plug-in but it has too many issues and work-a-rounds to work on the Mac. Thanks for the consideration and the handwork you put into the development of this plug-in!!

Fizzle

I can only speak for myself in that question.
The plugin is Master Chirans awesome work. I just made some slight modifications to fit my needs in the plugin code.
Aftre all, LUA and me are not best friend, sotospeak...

Since I do not have done any programming on the Mac OS so far,
a Mac version will not happen in the near future.
(which means at least not in the next few weeks )
However, I am eager to try something on Mac OS, but it will take some time.

Maybe You can bring in a bit detail what exactly is the issue on the Mac.
The plugin is done in LUA which is running within Lotro so that should work.
I guess the problem is the creation of the database file, Macs are a bit nervous in terms of accessing the filesystem. If you can toss this job to a native Mac program it should work.

Ah OSX again. Unfortunately I do not have a Mac to make this happen. You could try running the .exe version or this tool under Wine. Obviously the .hta will not work. There was also a user working on a AppleScript version here in LotroI, but I don't think he ever released it.

Hi.
Here is the full translated FR version of SongbookLang.lua: http://wushunisroch.free.fr/vrac/SongbookLang.lua

Thanks for this useful plugin.

Chiran

Thanks a lot Gurndil!

I'll add this to the plugin package if you don't mind .

The plugin is really great, and worked great until a week ago, when it stopped working for my second account. It still works perfectly for my first account though. I tried re-installing it, without success. Any idea what could be wrong?

Chiran

Does it give any kind of error message on the chat? Do other plugins work?

...ings Online/PluginData/musicbuddy/AllServers/SongbookSettings.plugindata:1: unexpected symbol
...gs Online\Plugins\Chiran\Songbook\SongbookWindow.lua: 44: Unable to parse file!
Unable to load "songbook".

This is what comes in the chat when I try loading it. I also use the lyrical plugin and the hugebag plugin, and they work just fine.

Chiran

Ok looks like there's an error in the settings file. You could try to delete SongbookSettings.plugindata file that is mentioned in the error message. There's no crucial information there, just plugin window position and such. But delete the file while the plugin is not running (or even game). Then try again starting the plugin.

Since the file is account-specific, it may work on the other character on the other account.

Yes, that did it. Songbook is working perfectly fine again. Thank you, sir!
