Great plugin! a simple, movable clock, works great.

However, it appears to only show military time, could you make a toggle to also show the 12 hour clock that most people are familiar with?

Sounds good, only one question, does it hide when hitting F12? I usually take screenshots and have ran into some plugins not properly going off when hitting the F12 key.

Thanks for the quick comments - hadn't realised it was available to download yet.

F12 does hide it, I also like having a clean screen for screen shots.

12 hour clock vs 24 hour clock. I already have that on the list of updates to do. Just wanted to get something simple working first

Plinius

a simple, yet one of the most useful plugins
thank you very much!

Plinius

unfortunately, the clock refuses to work:

.../GrimsClock_Settings.plugindata:3: ']' expected near ','
...Plugins\DaBruddasGrims\GrimsClock\GrimsClockMai n.lua:21: Unable to parse file!

it can only be fixed via deleted the grimsclock settings in pluginsdata folder everytime before i log in

german client
win7 64bit

edit:
my settings-lua looks like this:
return

{
[1,000000] =
{
[1,000000] = "Top",
[2,000000] = 0,000000
},
[2,000000] =
{
[1,000000] = "Left",
[2,000000] = 732,000000
}
}

what lines can i add to fix it?

Plinius

The parsing error i get seems to be a known lua issue - but it hasn't been fixed for over a year

but i still wonder, because basicclock is the only plugin i have this problem with

is there a line i could add that hekps?
i've tried to change the commas into points - which helped for a single login - but as soon as i logged out and logged back in, the same error occured, and the plugindata file hat again commas instead of points (e.g. 0,0000 instead of 0.0000)

so...
what can i do?
because "localising" this plugin would be awesome - and there will be others, french or german speaking player, that would like to use this plugin, too

tell me if i can help!

edit:
maybe this thread could help implement a workaround (but i don't understand lua - maybe it helps you)

please tell me if you need a translation of the german part or if the pasted code is enough

Plinius - Thanks for the update. I will check other plugins to see what they do to cope with the difference between ./, used by different countries and get a fix out as soon as possible

Plinius

hey

thanks for the update!

i've immediatly downloaded the update via lotro plugin compendium, but unfortunately the same parsing error occurs (deleted the old settings before i started the game with version 2.0)

i've also tried deleting the basic clock and the plugindata for the specific char and re-install via a manual download ("GrimsClock 1.0" 10,4kb) - but again the same error

so i've deleted the plugin and the plugindata again (there are just 2 "files", right? the basicclock plugin folder and a plugindata file for each character) and re-installed via LPC

when looking into the basicclock.plugincompendium it says <Version>2.0</Version>
but in grimsclock.plugin it says <Version>1.0</Version>

and thanks again!

As a user, you can apply the Vindar patch available here:
http://www.lotrointerface.com/downlo...anclients.html

As a dev, you can embed the Vindar patch code right into your project but please remember to make a note crediting Vindar for the original code.

Plinius

but as a user, i won't install vindar's patch as long as i do not know what exactly it does - that's why i do not run the .exe and i'm afraid it could somehow violate the EULA or something if it changes the way plugins save their data

and other plugins manage to work without it as far as i can tell...

DaBruddasGrims

Probably my fault in uploading wrong files of bad zip . Let me check everything here and I will sort out a new upload and check what gets downloaded. I will also list the files and the contents of my saved data

Garan

You don't actually need to run the .exe. Malicious code is a very real concern and you are right to be cautious. However, Vindar actually included the source to the exe as well as a text file which explains how to perform the same actions manually. The .exe simply automates the process.

The patch does not modify the client and does not in any way violate the EULA. The patch .exe adds a .lua file to each project, adds an import statement to include the new .lua file and replaces your save and load commands with calls to the new file. This creates a wrapper around the save and load statements -that is, your save and load now calls the .lua file which encodes all numeric and utf8 data before in turn calling the Turbine commands with the encoded values. So the Turbine save and load commands are not altered, rather the data simply gets encoded before being saved and decoded after being loaded and passed back.

As to other plugins working without it - there are other authors that have implemented similar approaches by saving all of their numeric data as strings but I have not seen any that were as effective. Indeed, many of the other plugins that appear to work without it simply have the Vindar patch built in.

Plinius

thanks so much for the time and work you put in this, but unfortunately it still doesn't work

my settings look like this:

the error stays the same - and i can remember i could get the clock working again (for a single login, though) when i altered 1,000000 in 1.00000 etc

and thanks again!
i'm so looking forward to this

Despite my best efforts, and testing on a DE Client on my laptop I have resorted to using Vidars Patch the same as other plugins - This seems to be working now on the DE Client.

When 2.7 is available then please download and test
You will have to delete the saved data files in
\plugindata\{USER}\{SERVER}\{CHARACTER}\GrimsClock _Settings.plugindata
