A new region with new task boards, new trophies and a new rep group. I've started updating the plugin and will post after it's been tested.

Vinny

This version adds the new task boards and trophies in update 19. As usual, the 3 new task boards contain the same 6 tasks which have also been added to the homestead 101- board.

I've also enhanced the Homestead checkbox so that setting it will reset the location to All and changing the location will reset the checkbox. This is to clarify how it was already operating.

I took a little more time to check for defects, but if you still find one, please report it.

Broken Wooden Maces are still being accepted by the Eglain (TE) at the Foresaken Inn. This evidently dropped off on your last update. It still shows them as being accepted in Bree (MB) but not at the Foresaken Inn.

Hi,
I installed the DailyTasks Plugin as said in the README. The 1st loading to a character went well. The character was added and I was able to work with the plugin.

The next day, the plugin didn't load. After some normal messages
[Timestamp]DT: German data
[Timestamp]DT: Daily Taks 4.1, settings loaded.

the start stoped with an error message:
attempt to compare string with number
[Timestamp]<lotro-user directory>\Plugins\Vinny\DailyTasks\DT_Main.lua:65 : Failed to import package "Vinny.DailyTasks.DT_Window"

I tried to check installation, but it didn't change the error.

Then I tried to load the plugin with a different character. The character was added, but the plugin didn't load. And there were additional error messages

[Timestamp]<lotro-user directory>\PluginData\<ServerName>\AllCharacters\D ailyTasks_Settings.plugindata:5: ']' expected near','
[Timestamp]<lotro-user directory>\Plugins\Vinny\DailyTasks\DT_Main.lua:33 : Unable to parse file!

So I thought, it may be related to the settings file and I deleted it. After that the plugin loaded again and I could work with it - for exact one time.

So I think there is a problem with my settings file. Is there anything I can do about? Update something or change something?

P.S: I tried this with version 4.0.4, 4.0.5 and 4.1 so I think it's a problem on my side. But I can't figure it out. Help is much appreciated.

Vinny

Thanks, I've corrected the list.

There is a known problem with Lotro Lua data formatting for saved numbers. There is a workaround discussed previously, but I don't recall the details.

User CDC has offered a solution, maybe you can contact him and integrate it into the official release?!

Considering it's no longer necessary to know all the other characters' levels, an ugly, yet effective and simple, fix for german (and I assume french) clients is to simply comment out two lines in "Plugins\Vinny\DailyTasks\DT_Mail.lua".
This way, the addon will no longer save strings it cannot parse upon loading.

Line 51 and 584 both have this content: .

Simply comment out with "--" and make sure to remove all player level entries from "DailyTasks_Settings.plugindata" in the PluginData folder.
(Or change to american number format if you want to preserve the names and levels)

Hi,

unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much communication from the developer around here. His last statement was posted more than 2 months ago.

Anyway: Could anybody be so kind and post me the German terms for the following trophies in Ithilien ("March of the King")? I'm not allowed to travel there (yet) Then I could finish the German translation.

• Bubbling Goo
• Burnt Ear
• Mouldy Skin
• Prismatic Carapace
• Reeking Filth
• Worn Fur

Or, alternatively, just tell me how I can get there

This might sound obvious, but have you checked the Task Bulletin Boards in a handy Homestead? If you're high enough level they should show you the name regardless of whether you can get to the "proper" place.

NotACat

I'm trying to see whether it should be possible to colour-code the names of other characters when RepOnly is switched off, so as to make it blindingly obvious when they can't use something and it's therefore safe to flog that item off, rather than having the names appear or not.

Before I dive in headlong, am I duplicating anybody's effort?

JoeLOTRO

Hey, great advice! I never used those bulletins in the homestead, hence I wasn't thinking of them at all

Now all I need to know for updating the translation are the following location names:

• "Aragorn's Pavilion" "65.6s,14.7w"
• "Camp of the Host" "40.9s,10.3w"

Any idea what their names might be in German?

Not mine, I'm just the translator

I seem to have found a bug which affects the recorded level when you have more than one character on a server; I think it might only happen when you use the DT Window to view your current items from the POV of another character.

What happens is that at some point, and I think it's when you logout, the level for your other character gets overwritten with the level for your current character. I need to do some more detective work to find the particular combination of circumstances but that is what is happening

Vinny

It looks like there is one new task board added with this update, but no new trophies. I plan to release a new version of DT soon.
