This update only affects level 60+ players. I got tired of the cluttered listings for Dunland and Great River tasks, so I added a couple of options to simplify them.

First in Dunland, while there are task boards at many locations, the only locations where the tasks can be completed are Galtrev and Forthbrond. So I added an option "/dt nc" that will suppress listing non-completion locations.

Then in Great River, all the locations have the same tasks, so its redundant to list all the locations for every task item. I added an option "/dt gr" that combines all those locations into a single "Great River" label.

Note that all options are saved by server name.

Perhaps I'm missing something (I haven't written a plugin), but perhaps you could create a new folder, select the files you want, hold down the Shift key, and drag them to the new folder. That would copy them to that folder. You could then right-click the new folder and select "Send To - zipped folder". After it's done, delete the new folder you had created. It would add a few steps, but presumably that would be easier than making code changes to accommodate a different file structure. Would that work?

Vinny

It must be something with your install.

Vinny

Wrong, it won't be a trivial change. Currently, I select the files I want to zip in Windows Explorer and from the drop-down menu select "Sent to - zipped folder". If I select the enclosing folder, it will zip ALL the files, not just the desired ones.

Let's set the record straight. Its not that I can't add the change at present, its because it will cause problems inbetween client versions. All versions of LPC client follow a single API, which I do not control other than adding or removing an entry. Lotro Interface does. If I include your plugin on that API feed, and an older LPC client tries to download it, it will plop out a directory that does not make sense to LOTRO. This is the confusion I'm talking about.

On a personal opinion side, consider your options. I've made a plugin that increases the popularity and accessability your your plugin. It requires minimal effort on your end. 95%+ of the plugin users are supported. You are not, despite multiple requests on these comment pages. As an addon author myself I know that changing the path of a zip file is a couple minute job at most. To me, it sounds like you don't even want to bother with being supported. You have a popular addon, and I'd like to see it included. Please reconsider.

Vinny

As an OPTION, it shouldn't create any problem for existing users. It would just add flexibility to the installer. It sounds to me like you just don't want to bother with the enhancement.

Realistically, since so many users already have a version of LPC running on their PC/Mac that accept path to be one way, it is hard to introduce a "big" change to how the structure works Even if I did make a new version that took new path structure, since I cannot force the thousands of installs to upgrade their current version, it would inevitably lead to confusion or inappropriately installed plugins. Please consider supporting the current file structure that everyone else currently is.

Is it just me, or does this not work since the last LOTRO update?

Vinny

Unfortunately, PC doesn't support my file structure. I've asked the author to add an option to allow me to be compatible and he said that he would consider it, but so far, not implemented.

This is one of my favorite and most used plugins but sometimes I miss an update because I use Plugin Compendium to update most of the other plugins that I use. Any chance of getting this compatible with PC? It only requires one small file added to the package.

That is great - thanks for fixing it.

Vinny

This is just a minor update to fix player name problems. DT will no longer create a name entry for Session Play (~ prefix), but will convert it to the normal name. You can also now delete unwanted name entries using the /dtp command.

Vinny

Ok, I know what happened. The "~" version of the name is created when you enter Session Play that creates a different version of your character (like playing a chicken in the Shire).

I'll add a fix to DT to ignore such names and a command to remove unwanted names, but to remove it now, you will need to edit the DailyTasks_Settings.plugindata fiile. Look for it under "The Lord of the Rings Online\PluginData\<account>\<server>\AllCharacters "

I couldn't find this explained anywhere in the readme file. DT sometimes displays a line like this when I look at tasks on my level 51 Burglar, Dagric:

DT: 35/ 8 [Powerful Branch], 46-50 @ Gwingris(--) (~Dagael)

I have a level 75 RK named "Dagael". Any idea why it is listing "~Dagael" (with a tilde) in the above entry? The tasks are too low level for my 75 RK in any case, so I'm not sure why it is listing the RK.

Vinny

If you've got the latest version of DT, these items and locations should already be included, but thanks for trying to help.
