About PALANTIR III

Feel free to join my discord server in order to discuss about the plugin https://discord.gg/s5RVxwdGAy.

As it seems that snoopy is not maintaining the plugin anymore, I have created this one based on his work. The project is still open source, but now hosted on gitlab: https://gitlab.com/loikki/palantir3. Feel free to write issues or merge requests directly on gitlab (I might not see the messages in LOTROinterface).

New features:
- Beorning support (wrath replaces the power)
- Potion quickslots (suggestion from Ingolmo, German translation by Myrridin)
- Option to remove the in-combat timer
- Option to replace the power by class specific resource
- Fix a bug which was hidding the mez options
- Removed the automatic drinking due to a bug

From Palantir II

After a few mouths discovering LOTRO, I found LOTROInterface and some interesting plugins. Being a French player, even if English interface far better than poor French translations, Rivendell means nothing to me, but Fondcombe reminds me souvenirs a lot...

So I play on French Game, and many plugins dislike French (or German). As I already coded some lua plugins for other games (wow too PvP oriented, and Runes of Magic too expensive F2P), I began some translations then fixes, and improvements. I liked Palantir but Digital_Utopia had given up LOTRO (see this post). As I felt my coding were a real improvement of the original code I decided to share it as Digital_Utopia allowed it:
Quote:
As far as my projects go, any developer is more than welcome to use the code as they see fit, or provide a similar offering.
Thank you Digital_Utopia for your handsome job ! Now, I'am picking up this project for a while...


About PALANTIR (Digital_Utopia)

Palantir is a highly customizable Heads-Up Display(HUD) for LotRO that displays critical combat-related information at center-screen in an unobtrusive way.
This allows the player to get the information they need without having to take their eyes off of the business at hand, as they would if they were to depend on the default UI elements.

Palantir is no longer being maintained.

- The option to display Palantir always, or only in combat.
- Many, many options.

PALANTIR II - 2012 update by Snoopy 81.
Initial released updated version is v2.00

The main scope of this 2012 update is to improve the Debuff viewing & removing system:

- It's now possible to click through all the area. (debuffbar.lua)
ex: No more trouble at looting corpses!

- Using a skill/potion is now possible only if the debuff is here.(debuffbar.lua)
ex: No more useless drinking pot!

- Mode 1 ("Indicators Only"): (debuffbar.lua)
Nothing is clickable, and you can use the mouse through Palantir II to click whatever is below.
Shows only if debuf is here, no indication of CD or quantity.

- Mode 2 ("Curable Support"): (debuffbar.lua)
If not Wounded, diseased, feared or Poisoned, same as mode 1.
Shows CD if applicable. Shows remaining pots if applicable.
If something curable is present, appropriate button(s) is activated and clickable.
Annoyance: Buttons remains click-able even if CD is down....
Annoyance: Removing pots from bag won't refresh Palantir II.
The addon works only with shortcuts, and Lotro will refresh shortcuts... in a while!

- Mode 3 ***NEW*** ("Instant curing"): (debuffbar.lua, SetupWindow.lua, OptionsManager.lua)
According to you debuff, the right button flies under, and with your mouse pointer, so any click will drink the appropriate potion!
To avoid drinking a potion turn the mouse wheel. Then you may choose your potion the way you like.
The flying button will not show for a while if you turned mouse weel. Resets when all debuffs are gone.
The flying button will not show if potion's CD is down. If debuf is still here, it'll show when CD is up again.
In case of different debuffs, Wound < Fear < Disease < Poison.

- And ***NEW*** ("Full screen warning") (debuffbar.lua, SetupWindow.lua, OptionsManager.lua)
Filters your screen with red, yellow... according to latest debuff. Impossible to miss it!
Only available if Debuff bar is on, and usable in each mode.
Note that in mode 3, full screen warning will not show if you can't use some potion (CD down), or turned the mouse weel.


PALANTIR II - 2012 summer update by Snoopy 81.
Version v2.10

Still coding Palantir II, and there's shining new features coming!

As I'm playing healer most of the time, my eyes are focused on my group or raid morale, and it's too easy to miss
some piece of information elsewhere on the screen. The v2.0 update and "Instant curing" was really helpful at Ortanc tower.
Anyways, I' had an accident and broke left arm. Healing single handed is really slow, so I had to keep off T2, and revert to
DPS or Lore Master easier tasks.

As a Lore Master, I wished a clock starting with every Mez, Root, Anti-stun.
As a Rune Keeper, I wished easier mean to see Epic conclusion buffs, and a clock to monitor writs.
As a Minstrel, a clock to monitor extended Soliloquy of Spirit duration could help.
As anybody, a clock showing combat duration, and warning at set intervals could help.
As anybody, I often miss some vital warnings from mobs. ( ie: Ortank storm boss "shoke")
As many, I wish non intrusive information display, but easy to monitor when needed, but very intrusive important warnings.

- New clock, resets & starts when in combat: (new mezbar.lua)
Keeps last combat duration. Max 59'59", then resets.
You can set intervals (min 15"), clock will warn you approaching each interval by changing color.

- Sometimes, a boss warns you before launching a special attack, needing a fast reaction.
I added an unmissable visible warning..

- 4 timer bars: (new mezbar.lua)
Timer event depends on character class.
If event duration can change (ie: LM Mez), settings window allow you to adjust it.
[Dual]: Some events can be cast twice (maybe on 2 mobs), so timer bar will reflect it. No support above twice.
[Red]: Timer bar will turn red when important event are close to ellapse.
[Selfadjust]: If event is a buff that you can cast on yourself, duration can be automatically adjusted.
[Autoadjust]: If event is a auto-buff, duration is given by Lotro.
All events during less than 15" hasn't been coded in timer bars...

- Lore Master: (Main reason for coding all that!)
Bar1: "Blinding Flash", or "Improved Blinding Flash" - (Dual, Red)
Bar2: "Herb-lore" - (Dual, Red)
Bar3: "Sign of Power: Command", or"Improved Sign of Power: Command" (Casting again renews the bar)
Bar4: "Sign of Power: Righteousness" (Selfadjust, Casting again in 15 last seconds renews the bar)

- Minstrel:
Bar1: "Invocation of Elbereth" (red)
Bar2: "Song of the Dead" (red)
Bar3: "Soliloquy of Spirit" (Selfadjust) Bar will proc either target is self or not.
Bar4: "Fellowship's Heart" (Autoadjust)

- Rune Keeper: RK wish list was not a simple one !
As a Storm RK, DPS depends on monitoring Thunderous Words, Harsh Debate, Charged Runes, & Winter-storm for the best.
As a Fire RK, keeping Writ of Fire tier 3 is the key.
As a healer, Improved Our Fates Entwined is OP, but needs you to maintain HOT on yourself.
HOT have short CD so useless to monitor on everybody.
In all cases, Writ of cold' debuff may prove useful.
Bar1: "Writ of cold"
Bar2: "Writ of fire"
Bar3: "Writ of Health on self" or "Thunderous Words" depending on Attunement
Bar4: "Prelude to Hope on self"or "Harsh Debate" depending on Attunement
Charged Runes, & Winter-storm are also shown!

- Rogue: I'm not playing Rogue, help needed here to test & debug.
Bar1: "Riddle" (red)
Bar2: "A Small Snag" or improved version (red)
Bar3: "Trick" Anyone...
Bar4: "Addle"

- Hunter: I'm not playing hunter, help needed here to test & debug.
Bar1: "Bard's Arrow" (red)
Bar2: "Rain of Thorns" (red)
Bar3: "Fleetness" (Autoadjust)
Bar4: "Needfull Haste" (Autoadjust)
