Hi, I found a strange problem, if load the Plug-in TonicBars by manually typing the command in the chat window "/plugins load tonicbars" Plug-in is loaded correctly and bar extensions are properly aligned with their quickslots, but if load Plug-in from a quickslot in a Lotro bar with an alias "Alias: /plugins load tonicbars" Plug-in is loaded correctly, but the bar extensions appear elsewhere on the screen when you pass the mouse over the quickslots of Quickbar...

EDIT: Correction, in the quickslot of Lotro bar that running Alias I have assigned a shortcut by keys (CTRL+1), if I just click directly on that quickslot, the plug-in is loaded properly as well with extensions bars aligned, only when I use the key combination "CTRL+1" to run this quickslot that runnind Alias for load TonicBars Plug-in is when bars extensions appear unaligned.

Sadly, that is exactly what happened. There is a bug with the base Save/Load Turbine has on the Localized clients. This causes saved data not to be loaded correctly. I have corrected that by saving the data in a different way (on localized clients). That basically bypasses the real issue.

So, yeah, upgrading from v1.5.1 to v1.5.2 requires localized clients to delete their settings... sorry, but it was beyond my control. You can find this file under: "/Lord of the Rings Online/plugindata/<username>/<server>/AllCharacters/" The file is called tonicbarsettings or something like that.

Hope it helps!

First of all: This is a very good extension and I can hardly play LOTRO without it any more.

BUT: As I am using the German Game Client, everything worked fine a few days ago when I used the plugin for the first time. Playing again today, I get this error (others posted it already before):

I had 1.5.1 installed and therefore downloaded 1.5.2 - but nothing changed, the error message is the very same. From my point of view the file you want to load in line 88:

cannot be loaded by the parser. Perhaps the saving routine already wrote some errors into the file so that it can't be read anymore.

If so - how can I delete that file (which is stored on the server as I understand)? Because any workaround or hack is worthless if the system sees that there is a file already there and crashes because of read errors. Perhaps a subroutine would be useful which deletes the file automatically on hitting the error message above.

Thanks again for your efforts and I am looking forward to use your plugin as soon as possible!

It's on my list. First and foremost is getting the class Buff feature implemented. Next is the smaller enhancements to existing features.

I agree
I signed for this option

Thanks for this very useful plugin

I implemented the shinking knowing that I could not shrink the images. I figured it could still be useful for some people. Sadly, there is no way for me to modify those images using the current API.

As to linking buttons to bars, we can't automate any of that. Another limitation of the API... they don't want BOTS being created.

** Class buff triggered bars are coming. That means Minstrels can have bars pop up when the use Tier 1, or Tier 2 skills. Guards can have bars hidden until Block or Parry trigger, Burgs can keep their chain hidden.... cool changes currently in BETA.

Hi!

I'm trying out this plugin and loving it! but have 2 questions

When I created my bar I can shrink it... but the icons or skills inside stay the same size. This a bug or something I'm doing wrong?

Can I link buttons to the bars?

1) Create an alias for those mighty friends.
2) Stick the alias on the first quickslot (leftmost) of your primary quickslot bar.
3) Move the newly created icon to a TonicBar. So far so good.
4) Now try moving the icon to another location on the TonicBar or back to the original location. At this point it will be lost.

I hope this helps and more importantly you are able to recreate the error.

NuclearTonic

Can you provide me with an example step-by-step how to get this to occur. Not sure exactly what you mean by aliased shortcuts. Thanks.

Annatars Gift

I wasn't on the latest version, but I am now. Unfortunately I still lose my aliased shortcuts if I try moving them (after first moving them onto a tonicbar).

One to add to your bug list. Still a great plugin though.

NuclearTonic

I would always do this, but it's a performance issue. I don't want everyone to incur a major performance hit because a few locales have a bug in their client. Hopefully, this bug is addressed by Turbine and I can remove this entire HACK. Unitl then, if there are more issues, I'll add them on a case by case basis.

For some applications, doing this all the time might not be an issue... but in my app, I have probably 15-20 settings that are numeric PER BAR. So, you have 5 bars, that's 100 conversions every time save is called. That's non-trivial. ** This is a guestament I don't have real data as I'm at work right now.**

By the way, I'm hoping to get a French translation... Soon. (next week or two).

Ok well,*after adding your code, It did show me FR, why? cause I've decided to change the OS Setup to French. It is not the best, but it is now working. I assume that the code should have been IN for Indonesia.

So far, it is working, but I am afraid that this can be a future problem for others around the world that are not located in EN, DE, FR, as their OS location setup will be different.

To conclude, Im happy that it is working now, and thanks for the fast respond.

First, thank you NuclearTonic for this very nice plugin.

There is one additionnal feature I think would be useful: when the extension are configured to be shown when moused over, it would be nice if there was the possiblity to configure a short delay (say 0.1-0.2 second) for the extension to close when the mouse leaves the extension. Indeed, when using very long extension, I find it difficult to reach the last slot without the mouse leaving the extension.... Or alternatively, could you make an option such that the extension closes only when the mouse is, say, at least, 10 pixel away ?

NuclearTonic

There was a mouse over bug that was causing something like this that was fixed in v1.4. If you have an older version it would be worth upgrading and trying again.

Annatars Gift

Thanks for providing such a useful plugin.

I have found a small bug that doesn't seem to be on the list. I haven't looked into it too much or checked that I have the latest version. Nor have I checked this thread fully to see if it has already been mentioned. I was sure I had posted this message yesterday but now can't find it anywhere. So please forgive me if I am repeating something that is already known or resolved.

I just added your plugin over the weekend and the first thing I did was move over all my aliased commands that I had on quickslot bars to a new TonicBar. It worked just fine until I then tried rearranging some of them on the TonicBar. Whenever I moved them they would then disappear altogether.

Thanks for reading.
