The next version has that option and a 'startup icon' like Lotropad has . It will be released when we get the next game update.

I'm not much of a programmer and I haven't been diving into LUA scripting at all, so I hope that my question won't come over as too ignorant

Is there not a way that you can utilise the /playlist command into your Songbook plugin to (auto)update the song list in-game? The /playlist command always reads out the directory so there is something built into the client to do such thing.

P.S. is it possible to add or create Art Asset IDs? If so I'd like to be able to make graphics for the buttons to fit my skin

Chiran

It's all good ^^.

It would be a nice command to do that, and searches, but sadly plugins cannot read chat at all so the information cannot be passed back to them :-/.

I don't know that much about skinning, but I assume only Turbine can create those and choose what can be skinned. But you can replace the ones that come with the plugin with your own ones if you like . The buttons are the icn* files in the plugin directory and they are 35x35 pixel tga images. Has to be done manually of course .

Hm, if you have version 0.61 then it should show the window on load. To load the plugin type:
/plugins charger songbook

To commands for the plugin are:
/songbook afficher - Afficher l'interface de SongBook
/songbook cacher - Cacher l'interface de SongBook
/songbook basculer - Basculer entre visible et caché
/songbook - Affiche la liste des commandes en jeu

I cannot test the French version at the moment, so not sure what the problem might be :-/. Does it give any error message on the chat window? Do other plugins work?

Just a silly question

At most of our concerts/events we predefine a setlist/playlist on beforehand, so people in our band know exactly what song we shall play next. It would be awesome to sort of have function so I could click on the song on beforehand and make a certain order of them.. maybe is me just beeing lazy. hehe.. But I think I would have better control, and people would now exactly what song would come next, and I could concentrate on introducing songs, and emoting

Just an idea, not a must have. I think the songbook is awesome as it is

Hallo, I am from Germany and I try to wrote you my problem.

If I start the songbook.hta file I got an error message that in the spript is an error in row 248. And that the expected service cannot be startet.

Now I can click yes or no and the window disapears. If I click on build song library it found my songs and show me the path.
But ingame there is an error message that no songs are found and that I have to run songbook.hta.

What can I do.

Many thanks for help

Chiran

Not silly . Implementing some sort of playlist is certainly one of the things on my todo list. I know many people would like it to have an automatic Jukebox mode as well. However, looks like that at least is impossible. But I'm sure there's something to be done, just haven't gotten that far yet heh.

One thing you could at least do is to make a specific subdirectory for the event, then copy over songs you plan to play and rename them sequentally, like 01-song1.abc and so on. That way you only can keep only that directory open in the plugin and have a clean sequential listing. Requires some manual preparation of course :-/. But you may be doing that already?

Ah, seems that the script stops at when it's trying to find the version of the Operating system and it tries to get rights for that. I'm not sure what might cause that, but maybe a very strict access policy or some very strict virus scanner. It needs that information to read Lotro user name so that it can save plugin data to the correct folder.

I believe what happens is that it cannot get your Lotro user name and it gives you a text box above the button to write it on. However, I just noticed that the text box has no label and also it accepts empty input so I have to fix that :-(. I guess I haven't tested that for a while. It probably wrote the plugin file to PluginData/AllServers/ while it should be PluginData/<lotrouser>/AllServers.

But in any case, it should work if you type your Lotro login name in the text box above the button.

Hallo and thanks for your help so far.

But there is no text box above the button where I can type in anything.
I have copied the songbookdata.plugindata from allservers to plugindata/lotrouser/allservers. which is obviosly installed by other plugins. But it doesnt work. no songs ingame

Chiran

Could you try with this version of the script? I'm not sure how to recover from the error since I don't know how to simulate it with my setup :-/. Click yes anyway to continue running the script. I can try to see if I can make it get past it gracefully.

Thanks for your answer Chiran;
I have no message error, and the others plugins (buffbars, vitals, the one bag etc...) work properly "fonctionne, en français "...
I just can move the window but i didn't see anything, like the songbook was completely "transparent" (no opacity?).
Another time excuse my english, not easy to explain my problem

Chiran

Oh I might have an idea then.. It's these localization issues. I use a different opacity value in case the client is French or German. It's a bit tricky since it also depends on the Windows locale setting. So something goes wrong there. You are using French client and have French number format set in Windows? I'm afraid I don't know where it is in the French version of Windows, but in the English version it is in 'Region and Language'.

We can only hope that Turbine fixes this localization issue.. Currently plugin developers have to do all kinds of tricks to get past that.

Ok thank you very much for your another fast answer!!!
Yes i have a french version on a french PC and french's setups^^ (but i change the décimal value "." and not "," if i remember)...no problem:
I must be patient so

Good continuation and the day it's work for french i'll be happy to test it.

Hallo.
I've tried the new one. Script error appears and when I click on build song library nothing happens.
