Hi there...


1st of all : pretty cool programming Master Chiran =)

i found songbook a couple of dasy ago and ran in the same problem with comma instead of dot.
Since songbook uses the load and save functions from turbine,
no one else than Turbine is to blame for that.

There is no appropirate way to solve this for the euro client.
So i made a litte programm which runs in the back, doing exactly what turbine does - save all plugindata once in a while when the game idles.
The program simply gets rid of the "," where they do not belong.

Evenmore I toyed around a little with the code.
- Added buttons to send the song to group and raid channel.
- Removed the whole custom command stuff. I found it useless.
- Added two more instrument slots
Anyway, it is working fine now with the Euro Client without making any changes to windows settings, writeprotect files or whatever.

If someone wants it. Fell free to contact me.

btw....did i mention that this is my first and hopefully last contact with LUA

I tried to look through most of the comments and I did not see one like this... I keep getting this message,

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

I have no clue what to do to fix it. I put only one ABC file and tried to edit it because people were telling me it has to do with that.... I literally have tried for hours to get this thing to work because I can't be in my kin band if I don't Please help!

Are you sure you have run songbook.hta first? Looks like the plugin cannot find your music files. You could also try with this slightly newer version of the plugin.

First, I would like to thank you for a great plugin, because of it I am able to have 3111 ABC files without worry!

Second. I was wondering if you could make the number of quick slots more customizable because I would like to have my weapons in there for after I am done, emotes, and other fun things.

Third, I don't know if it possible but if you could have an option to auto equip my bow (or previous weapon) when I close the window (but not when I hide it for screen shots) that would be the next greatest thing since sliced bread!

Again, thank you and keep up the great work,

Kane

Wow, three wishes at a time...

If you see below, i mentioned that i aded two more instrument quickslots.
So, that is possible. For the other stuff, in my opinion, it's not worth the effort to implement it. It's just two Buttonclicks.

Yes that would be possible, I'll keep that in mind. And as the previous commenter said with little tinkering it's not too hard to raise the limit .

Ah.. to this I have to say not possible with the plugin system. You cannot really perform such actions automatically, that is, activating a quickslot without user actually clicking one.

My pleasure!

Hi Chiran,
I've got a problem when i try to use the songbook.hta.
Every time i use it, a window pops with an error message in it.
The message says:
"There is an probleme in this script on this site.
row: 265
char: 2
error: general error
url: file:///C:/Users/*****/Documents/The%20Lord%20of%20the%20Rings%20Online/Plugins/Chiran/songbook.hta
"

Hope you can help me.

Chiran

I'm really not sure, vbscript can generally be a bit problematic. You could download the latest version and try the SongbookFiller.exe in there or you could try WAN Songbook Filler by Arnhor. I hope one of them will work better for you.

Just a quick note... I've gotten my brain back into a programming mode, so have been messing around with getting an AppleScript compiler that works for those of us who are using the Mac OSX client. I'm happy to say that I was able to get Songbook to load and play today with some manual editing of the SongbookData.plugindata file, but I still have some work to do to get the AppleScript to properly write the data file to circumvent Turbine's typo.

With a bit of creativity, I hope to be able to circumvent that typo and create a Songbook compiler that will work properly and allow us to play music under the OSX client soon.

I'll post here if/when I manage to get this working.

Chiran

Great news, thanks for the effort so far .

Just wondering if there was any news on when the 'Favorites' update is coming, even if it is just a rough estimate, sooo tired of writing down where all my favorite songs are

Chiran

Heh, I don't know when or how to be honest.. sorry. Been busy with other things. But you could make a special subfolder for all your favorites .

I have been using your add-on for a while now, and I have no problems, until the Update 11 took effect. Now I do not know what happened to it, and I have followed all the given instructions exactly as given, yet whenever I try to upload the add on, it keeps saying 'unable to load songbook'. Before I re-installed everything, it would pop up, but whenever I tried to have it play music, no audio would follow. I hope that the reason for this can be discovered soon, and the issue fixed, thank you for giving us the add-on.

Chiran

Hm, I must admit that I'm not sure what's going on, considering that the plugin has worked for you before. I applied the update and didn't change anything and it still works. It may be good to recheck file locations. There's couple of tips here http://chiran.lotrointerface.com/por...a=faq&faqid=15. That's a bit mystifying if there's no audio. I do know though that player music has a different audio slider in the options.
