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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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

Howdy!

I would like to make the suggestion that Songbook include something like Lyrical that you can sync to the music and have it play with the music automatically.

I really enjoy Songbook! Thank you so much for all your hard work!

Can somebody update it with Vindarpatch included. Because on German Clients it sometimes Fail when the Settings File is loaded!

Chiran

There's been quite a few requests now regarding Mac clients. I wish I could be more of help, but at the moment I don't access to a Mac :-/.

But thanks for your efforts!

Has anyone done some testing to figure out where the data file needs to live under the Mac client? I'm accustomed to there being an "All Servers" folder under Windows which doesn't seem to exist under the OSX client.

I have an Applescript that *almost* works to build the data file for other Mac users, but haven't been able to figure out where the data file goes yet, so can't get the plugin to load under OSX.

Chiran

Hi, and thanks. I'll try to get by without the patch, and I think I have a fix on the way for this. I just wanted to add something more before releasing a newer version.

Hi Chiran,

you should try this: Fix for european clients

But be aware that all plugin files you have will be parsed, so that you have to delete any plugindata-file you have...

Hi Chiran, while you're at it, you should also revisit the creation of the PluginData\<Account-Name>\<Server-Name>\<Char-Name>\SongbookSettings.plugindata file when closing the Songbook window (or leaving the game). Due to Windows' European localization here, this file is saved with commas as "decimal points" and looks like this:
Next time, Songbook cannot be loaded because of illegal data format in this file - when I change the number format to "1.000000" and "0.000000" and "2.000000", it can be loaded again. So there is a workaround, but since I have to fix this every time before loading, it is a bit annoying

Thanks,
-Arnhor

PS: Seems to be the same problem as Jacinthe had some time ago.

Arnhor

Ok, so it was just a "documentation-not-read" error - this was truly easy to fix

While we're at it: Keep in mind that you'll have to do this "library construction" each time after you changed something in your MUSIC folder. AFAIK, if Songbook is already loaded, you have to unload and reload it because the library is read just once (at loading).
