It's been a wonderful tool for me until now, so thank you for creating it and maintaining it! I'll keep tinkering, and if anything changes I'll post it.

Its fine for me so I guess its a change on Cennwyn's computer - maybe Windows updated something but without knowing exactly what, it's difficult to roll it back.
You might try checking your windows logs or the Updates history for last couple of days to see if any clues there.

I didn't have any rollback points (for some reason), but I did try rolling back to an earlier version of .net (well, by which I mean I uninstalled .NET 4 Framework). Same error pops up. It's maddening.

EDIT: Someone suggested trying an older version of Songbook, but I can't seem to find one via Google. Is there one available?

Working fine for me too

I made a nice song compilation that works pretty well with this plugin.
It includes 97 popular songs. I will update it sometimes when I have enough time, but its a good source for an instant songpackage. Have fun ;-)

Music.rar

(just unrar the .abc files from the archive and put them into your Music folder)

PS: its my interlectual property xD

Good to hear . And I'll add some detection to the next version.

Can't wait for the new version--hopefully it will magically start working again!

PS: I don't think i included this the last time I reported an error here--in addition to not being able to load the .hta file, I can't run songbook in game, and when I try to do so, I get this error:

Online\Plugins\Chiran\Songbook\SongbookWindow.lua: 1457: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

Greetings Chiran,

I am a new player to LOTRO and I came across several people who were using this Plugin and I found it to be very entertaining.

I followed every instruction by the letter and the .hta file seems to create the library successfully but once I'm in the game and want to /plugins load songbook
(load it) it just says "Unable to load Songbook" ... No fancy error message etc.

This is my first LOTRO Plugin so I was wandering if there is something else I need to put in the Plugin folder for it to work.

The link you had put up on the installation section just confused me since it was only talking about and around starting to create your own Lua scripts etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best regards Saphyroth

Oh, that sounds like an error with the instrument quickslots. I haven't run into that myself, but things have changed in that department so I'm not really surprised. Thanks for the report .

Hello Saphyroth,

Hm I'm pretty sure that the link once had at least some kind of instructions on how the plugins are organized. Oh well, maybe this link could be more useful:
http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.p...Lua-UI-plugins

I also wrote something about it here: http://chiran.lotrointerface.com/por...a=faq&faqid=15

But in any case, it's probably just about where you copy the plugin files. I hope you get it to work with these instructions .

Greetings!

Well thanks for the swift reply! I was way to sleepy when I tried to get it to run.

I had put it in the PluginsData folder and didn't even think of creating a separate "Plugins" folder. Once I did that it ran smoothly

It is without a doubt a brilliant little extra feature for the game, big props!


Best regards,

Hello Chiran,

Thanks for this plugin!
I was wondering if you could add the following feature for large bands.
The goal is to get the information in the chat log about who is choosing each part of the song and show it in the songbook window.

For example : if there are 4 instruments for a song, the four are displayed in the part list. When a player selects one, his name is linked in the list to the correct part. The other players can then see which parts are already taken or not.
It would be great to manage large bands.

I hope you understand what I mean

Thanks for the feature suggestion! That does indeed sound useful but although not impossible, it's not as straightforward as that with the current plugin system. Plugins on different computers cannot really communicate with each other except by more or less manually using, for example, the party chat channel to transmit information. So it would be a bit clunky . However, I'll certainly keep this in mind and see what could be done with it.

I understand that and I was more thinking on listing the messages "Player is now playing xxx" which are displayed in the chat window.

Would you mind if I look into this problem on my own? (I would submit any possible modification to you of course)
