Thanks Adra, saved me a tonne of editing

Version 5.21 - October 21 2017

Lotro update 21.2 introduced 2 new filter buttons on the quest log panel.
This JRR skins pack update consists only in a hotfix and a re-balancing of this panel to relocate the new buttons at the bottom of the panel.

A special big thank to Siloren (software engineer in Standing Stones Games) for working and communicating about the panel code entries which made this fix possible.
Of course thanks too to Andvarion, ScottK and Osdor for informing about this issue and about the solution offered by Siloren.

Hi and thank you for making me be aware of it

I've tested the code from Silorien it and it works.

I'm presently repositionning the buttons and resizing the panel to make it look a bit better.

I think I'll deploy the fixed skins on lotrointerface during this weekend.


Regards.

One of the devs has posted a quick fix at https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthr...10#post7782010

Hoping to avoid manually editing all the skins (I use different ones on each alt!).

Hello, I just had a look on this issue.

I cannot move the new buttons on the quest log panel without knowing their source code, and unfortunately I would need a skinning update pack from turbine for that. The last one has been published for Lotro update 20.

That said, you can manually disable/remove the extended quest log panel customization by editing (with Windows Notepad or any else text editor) the skindefinition.xml file of the theme you want to fix (in the sub folders of JRR skins collection. (there is 1 skindefinition.xml file per skin).
To disable the panel, simply delete all the code between the lines :

and

Sorry for not having a better solution to offer you.

andvarion

Oh definitely. I just meant something quick and temporary I could do in the mean time until skin pack gets an update.

ScottK

Or better yet, move the buttons to fit large window.

andvarion

The new update added 2 new filter buttons to the quest log. They are located where the quest log would normally be, but due to the extended windows this skin provides, the new buttons are misplaced.

Is there a way to return the quest log to its original size?

My character portrait is not showing the art from a few of the user skins, idk if this is a known issue or if some files are missing, but on some skins it shows the lotro character silver ish portrait and on some they work just fine.

Inside your "...\Documents\The Lord of the Rings" Folder you have to make a UI Folder (if it wasn't already created after playing the game). Then inside the "...\Documents\The Lord of the Rings\UI" folder, create a "skins" folder and unzip the JRR skins files in the skins folder.

Your final path should look like:
where the "JRR Skins collection" and everything in it are from the downloaded skin zip file (each skin collection's zip file will have a different folder and file structure in it's zip file). Only the "UI" and "skins" folder need to be manually created.

It sounds as if you were just missing the "UI" folder after reinstalling and created the "skins" folder one level up.

Hello, I need some help with installation. When re-installed Lotro,in documents section is just two files - lotro.keymap and UserPreferences . Plugins install properly, but I don't know where to put skins folders now. Tried to create folder for it, but didn't work. I use windows 10.

Hello,

I wish you all a wonderful end-of-year celebration !

I cross fingers for a good transition of Lotro in its new home at Standing Stone Games
I wish the team to reach success to offer us a second golden age of Lotro (and DDO) !

I'm not currently playing Lotro, so I don't plan any skin update, but as far as I know, the skins are still working fine.
Don't hesitate to keep me aware is some day something get broken.



@ Mindarfin
I've edited the page's FAQ (frequently asked questions) to be more accurate on the right folders location and the mistakes to avoid, this should solve your issue.

Nice job here but i can't get it to work. I've tried many times in the past with no success on my own pc. However, I 've personally done the same procedure in a friend's computer and i got it working normally. Finally i've decided to ask for support. I 'm having the same problem as a guy who posted before. Almost the whole screen is full of grey squares in the areas where the skin's special icons should be, i suppose. I've downloaded all files that you show that should be in the skins folder and my game resolution is 1680x1050. All files are double checked in the correct folders. What else could be causing the problem?
