With regard to the quickbar locking, I use that A LOT with my turbine bars, but I'm keeping combat stuff on my turbine bars and auxilary stuff on the BevyBar. For instance, I made a crafting bar for each of my characters with the tracking skills and harvest tools up near my minimap. I also made a "buffs" one for like my LM (with pets and buffs), or my champ (with stances and different weapon choices). So I'm mostly using them for things that I don't need to use all the time (so I fade the bars... really like that feature). Therefore, since I'm not in the frantic combat mode I haven't had a problem with dragging things off the bar by accident. However, if locking the bar could also prevent the behavior we saw before where it would overwrite stuff I wanted, then that's good too.

If you got it to the point where it would only fill empty slots and not drop stuff that I want on there then that's pretty good. When you say swapping, are you refering to swapping skills within the bar or swapping from a non-BevyBar to the BevyBar... because the latter function is working.

MrJackdaw

No, I mean swopping on a bevy bar itself - currently it just overwrites and that infuriates me!

Valdacil

Ah gotcha. So you're saying that you're unpublished changes allow you to swap skills within BevyBars, but if you bring in a new skill from off of BevyBar, it will instead put it in the first empty slot? And drag into open space to remove a skill doesn't work? If that's the case, then I think I prefer the current version I have.

MrJackdaw

There is a new version of this plugin on the svn only that includes a new component - the hider bar. This allows you to show/hide completely certain bars. The concept is that this will be used to;

• Hide certain bars during raids - don't need to see those craft skills or maps do we!
• Switch between bars for different 'stances'
• etc.

If you want to give it a go check it out of the SVN - warning though - I have not made the quickslot swopping code optional yet, so there is a very small bug that I cannot eradicate.

Xspurt

Just recommended this to a friend and they have a problem with dragging items off the bar during combat and relied on locking the bars prior to me recommending them this mod.

I do agree that locking the bars would be a very valuable feature if it was possible to implement, as i saw you mentioned you were looking into the possibility of doing so.

PS. love your work, keep up the good job!

Is the author still around and updating? Noticed its not working on Bullroarer, even though I was able to load it.

MrJackdaw

I am very busy at work right now and hardly get to play the game myself!

Also - as I am in the EU lord knows when we will get updates compared to the US and I can't update errors if I can't see 'em.

I will return, I promise!

Not sure if that has been reported but it seems that all the quickslot bars are tied to quickslot #1. Is there a way around this cause some of myskills get replaced with a random item from my bars or just plain empties them out altogether.

It is a very simple fix to make it work on the new North American client (released on November 29th 2010):

Open main.lua in \Plugins\JackdawPlugins\Bevy in a text editor like notepad.

Scroll down to line 53.

Replace the part that says

LocalPlayer();

with

LocalPlayer.GetInstance();

You are now good to go! :^)

That totally didn't work for me. lol I altered the correct line but when I try to load it I get this error:

Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins\JackdawPlugins\Bevy\Main.lua:13: Unable to resolve package "Deusdictum.UI.Dragbar"

Any assistance with this would be a great help! I use these bars a lot for random stuff. lol

Thanks in advance!

Finally got it working

I had to change change the line talked about below to

Player = Turbine.Gameplay.LocalPlayer.GetInstance();

Then go through all the .lua files in the Jackdaw and Deusdictum folders and comment out the line

import "Turbine.Utils";

MrJackdaw

Thanks for the work there guys!

I am downloading the US client as I didn't realise there would be such a large gap between EU and US patching, nor did I realise how much plugins would get broken.

Hope to have a bufix update on by Sunday, and am going to work on a new feature version over christmas. That's Hope, not guarantee!

MrJackdaw

Patch Update made. Some 'interesting' things happened under the patch.

Note: Some changes need to be made to DeusDictums dragbar class too - I will post those changes there.

NOTE: Not massively well tested - I only have a level 6 on that server and lag is terrible!

Thayilis

Aww! I really like this plugin but I get this error when trying to load it:

Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins\JackdawPlugins\Bevy\Main.lua:12: Unable to resolve package "Deusdictum.UI.Dragbar".

You did mention that there was an issue with this Deusdictum thing so if you are working on an update or fix, I am all good with waiting. Just wanted to let you know. Thanks again!

MrJackdaw

If you follow the link above to Dragbar I have posted the lines you need to alter there.

Hopefully DeusDictum will post an update soon, but I know how much time these things can take up!

It is my favourite plugin - I was surprised to see the three stars.
