I have posted a patch for BuffBars which works around the Motivated bug.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
LOTRO update 39.1.2 introduced an issue for BuffBars related to the Captain/Mariner buff "Motivated" which is applied by the skills Motivating Speech/Motivating Song.

When the Motivated buff is applied to the character, the following error message appears in the chat log:
...ugins\PengorosPlugins\BuffBars\EffectBarSetting s.lua:144: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
The plugin does not display the Motivated buff but otherwise continues to function normally.

When the Motivated buff is present on the character at the moment the plugin is loaded (usually during character log-in), that error message appears in the chat log and the plugin fails to load.

This file is a patch for the plugin BuffBars by Pengoros. BuffBars must be installed before this patch. There are two other patches for BuffBars and it is highly recommended that those patches get applied as well:
BuffBars MaJ/Update 2017 by Galphoglas
BuffBars MaJ/Update 2017 patch fixes by b414213562

LOTRO update 39.1.2 changed the category type for the buff Motivated which is applied by both the Captain skill Motivating Speech/Improved Motivating Speech and the Mariner skill Motivating Song. This change causes BuffBars to fail to load if the buff is active while the character is logged in or when the BuffBars plugin is loaded; and causes BuffBars to throw an error message and fail to display the Motivated buff if the buff is applied at some point after character login or plugin load.

This file is a replacement EffectItem.lua file. The easiest way to apply this patch is to download it, un-zip it, then drop the replacement EffectItem.lua file into your *\My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins\PengorosPlugins\BuffBars folder.

All credit goes to SSG LOTRO forum user Alaron who came up with the workaround for this problem. You can read his post on SSG's LOTRO forums here for details: https://forums.lotro.com/index.php?t...987/post-84343

Thank you for this update to BuffBars! It seems to be working very well for me.

I am curious what this patch does, exactly. I speak English only, so if you explained it in the plugin description it’s my fault that I couldn’t read it. If I ran BuffBars without this patch, what would be different?

edit: My brain finally worked so I translated the description and now know what the patch does. Thanks again!

===================

Contents:

general:
* Addition of an icon in the plugin list (the one made by Tangaar)
* Added an in-game button to show / hide BuffBars (Tangaar icon modified by myself)

scroll bar:
* Correction of the delay: it no longer overlaps above the windows

Quick slot:
* Added an exception for the "low power" trigger so that it no longer appears on the Beorning
