What version are you running of BuffBars? Since it doesn't load you may have an older incompatible version.

Yes I am in the process of revamping the way effects are triggered. You will be able to make effect show if they match the string you specify. It will be very similar to what I have done for the quickslot section with triggers. Basically you can create a trigger to make an effect show. It can super general or very specific. Customizing which effects are show will be much easier that the current system. If I have time I may even get in the lists of class specific buffs so you can create triggers based on your character class.

Aww... bless your noble heart, kind sir

And many thanks to you too, for a plugin that I still think is VERY valuable

Even if I'm the author of BuffMonitor, I would like to see this bit of functionality added to BuffBars as well. Have it all together in one place would be the best solution for the users.

Hi Pengoros! It's comforting to hear that you're poised to adapt BuffBars to the new API when it's released

Currently, in Beta, plugins are a major issue. There are constant crashes and as far as I know, the culprit (or rather: "the bug") has not yet been found. Keeping my fingers crossed, as will you and many others, I'm sure!

I have a question about BB, or perhaps a request: some have told me they have certain bars set up to show only a specific effect, or a few effects. The only way to do this that I can think of is to either manually ignore all other effects if and when they show up and/or adjust the timers on which effects are shown, so they match the timers on the effects you wish to see.
This doesn't provide me with enough flexibility though, so unfortunately at the moment I have to resort to using yet another plugin (currently BuffMonitor) to do this for me. That allows the user to actually enter the name of the effect and it won't show anything unless that exact string is found. Is this something you would consider adding? Would be a great help to just have it all under one plugin and your plugin seems very 'clean' in general so I'd much prefer that option!

Thanks for your continued work and support!

Comment deleted, didn't see the other post about Buffbars and ROI.

But nice to hear that we'll be able to see buffs on other players!

for some reason i can't get this plugin to run at all anymore after a reinstall of the lotro client

when i use the manager it won't load at all saying "unable to load plugin" whenever i try to load it individually

if i try to load it with every other plugin unloaded it says "loaded successfully" however it will not show up neither am i able to access the settings screen

other plugins i have installed are: palantir, LI spender, bevy o bars (tho currently not used), the manager of course and the travel plugin


any pointers?

Pengoros

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be making sure the plugin works correctly once RoI is released. In addition I'll be adding party member buffs to the feature set. Yes LMs, you will be able to track stun immunity .

I've been using BuffBars since I started using plugins and really appreciate the work you've done with it.

I am in the RoI Beta and now that the NDA is lifted I wanted to give you a heads up that a lot of us in Beta have found that something in BuffBars is causing the client to crash to desktop due to the changes that Turbine has made to LUA.

Hope it's an easy fix once RoI goes live.

Pengoros

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep it in mind for an update.

Greetings,

I just wanted to start by thanking you for your hard work! It's a great addon, and I really like it a lot. I do have a feature request, though.

Would it be possible to allow the color-coding of specific responses? For example, us Guardians want to keep Guardian's Ward up as much as possible, but due to the FIFO nature of the cooldown timer, I sometimes have a hard time figuring out where it is in the list. Being able to set a filter to change the color of a specific item would be really useful.

Thanks for all your hard work!

It seems champion's Fervor skill no longer show up on the effects bar. Both ardor and glory still show up when toggled.

Please fix in next update. I like to use it as timer when running skirmishes.

Thanks.

UPDATE: never mind. Just played a bit more with the options and some how Fervor got put on the ignored effects list.

Good catch Garan, yes just delete the entire PengorosPlugins folder and re-extract it from the 1.2.0 zip file.

I noticed something odd in the error message that both of you posted - the path to the file throwing the error is "PengorosPlugins\BuffBars\EffectManager.lua" but in the 1.2 zip file, EffectManager.lua is not in the PengorosPlugins\BuffBars folder, it is in the PengorosPlugins\Utils folder. I suspect something went wrong when unzipping the new version over an old install - you should try deleting the entire Plugins\PengorosPlugins\BuffBars folder and re-extract the 1.2 version files to get a clean install.

FWIW, EffectManager.lua was only in the Buffbars folder in ver 1.0 It has been in the Utils folder in versions 1.1.0 and higher. You may have accidentally clicked on the 1.0 version download, double check the file name of your zip file.

I have downloaded the lastest version of BuffBars but it will not load. It says "Plugins\PengorosPlugins\BuffBars\EffectManager.lu a :12: attempt to call field 'LocalPlayer' (a table value)". It shows up on the list when i put /plugins refresh. Am I missing something?
