Hi. Sorry it's taken me a while to respond. Today is the first time I've logged in a couple of weeks to be able to check things out. The LUA API hasn't been extended as far as item information is concerned, so unfortunately I can't automatically obtain the item level from the game. The only way to include it would be to add that detail in manually for every item - which I frankly do not have the time, nor patience for. I can't even think how long it would take to work that out for 100,000+ items I have been asking for years for someone to extend the item info API but to no avail. I would love to be able to get Tulkas updated to include every new piece of armour and jewellery, but it's such a mammoth task I've practically given up. I'll post another comment on the forum asking for this to be reviewed, but as no one seems to be working on it, I doubt we'll get anywhere.

This plugin needs a filter by item lvl feature

By the way, I installed the package under the Plugins folder installed in "Doc's and settings" but I can not load the plugin when I log in to tell me I do not find it, where am I wrong? thank you

Hi Galuhad. This is a terrific plugin. I find it very useful for updating lotro-wiki as items change over time.

Do you have plans to update this plugin for u21 and beyond?

If not, can you share your method for discovering new items added with updates? I'm not seeing anything in the LUA API that would seem to provide that capability.

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm not able to play LotRO at the moment to update any of my plugins. My laptop is on it's way out and can't handle the game even on the lowest graphics settings - it's tragic. But I plan on buying a new laptop either next month or in June as I need it for my work, so all things being well I hope to have an update then. As for filtering by type - unless the API has been updated lately to provide more information for each item, it is highly unlikely I will be able to filter by anything more than what is already provided. Presently the only item information available from the API is:

- Item Name (string)
- Item Description (string)
- Item Category (number) - this will tell you if it's hands, feet, legs etc.
- Item Quality (number)
- Item Durability (number)
- Item Is Magic (true/false)
- Item Is Unique (true/false)
- Item Icon Image ID (hex number)
- Item Icon Background Image ID (hex number)

I've been asking for years for an update to this particular API as it would be awesome to have a database full with all the information including stats and so on, but so far I don't believe anything has changed. It would certainly make keeping Tulkas up to date, another of my plugins which is just so far behind

I'm not sure if this plugin is still being updated, but would it be possible to add filters to armours so that you can search specific pieces of gear by armour type along with slot?

Tangaar

Can you plz add a toggleable icon? thanks a lot for your work

Galuhad

Now updated to include any missing items from updates 17, 18 and 19.

Is there a way to not allow this to launch when a toon is loaded?

Edit:
Never mind. I see now that it pops up on the first use, then does not again until told to do so.

Can I search for new U16 items with this Plugin?

I've not updated it yet. At the moment I don't have a PC so it's gonna be a while unfortunately.

Can I search for new U16 items with this Plugin?

What does the 'List Items' button do? And how does it work?

Thanks for the reply. I suspected the answer would be something along those lines.

I have found something else that I thought I'd flag. Some items seem to have different names from the names shown in their tooltips. I'm guessing this is again Turbines fault:

Hi,

This is not an error in the plugin, but exactly how the items work in-game. It is possible for the same item (as shown in your image) to exist with different item levels, but these are still based off the same item (the IDs are the same). This is to do with items scaling, which will be offset from the character level at the time of creation. Unfortunately the API is only capable of showing the base item values in the plugin, and not those that have been scaled.

There seems to be a problem with items that have the same name but different item levels, and presumably different item ID's, only showing the first match. See the following example:
