Turbine does not allow access to data across accounts. Even plugin saved data is restricted by account - there is no way to programatically share that information. Thus this can not be changed via Lua.

There are two solutions to this. One is to use a third party program running outside of the game client and is NOT a recommended solution as that can lead to security issues. The other is only available if your operating system allows Symbolic Links. Windows XP does not, But Vista, Win 7, Win 8, Mac and Linux systems do. Basically, you tell your computer that one account's data folder points to the other account's data folder and from then on it acts like one big account for Lua purposes. Just google "Symbolic Link" plus your operating system to learn more.

Excellent tool. Thanks for making it.

But it has one problem from the point of view of someone with multiple accounts. It tracks all data by first account and then by server within the account.

Tracking just by server would allow players like myself see what our alts on the second acct on the same server are in need of when we find a new recipe. Since we can use game mail to pass items between toons on the same server, it would be nice to be able to see which items to move over withotu first having to move the item to the second account and then checking there.

And tracking by server would not affect those that have only one account as the data would still be broken down by server.

Those are special characters that are saved in an escaped format by the Vindar patch to avoid data errors since utf8 characters are not read correctly when reloaded. It is more likely that the reason they do not match is that the author is probably using string.lower in an attempt to make the match case-insensitive but string.lower doesn't work with special characters - that is, ä and Ä are both converted to two different, non-matching characters. It is possible to work around this by first converting accented characters to non-accented characters and then use string.lower (or replace string.lower with a function that properly converts upper case special characters to their lower case equivalents).

In your Savedata the Names are saved in that Form

B#195##164#renfalle aus Khaz#195##162#d-Stahl

Maybe here is the Problem why it doesn't Match?

When the Corrections have ü, Ü, ä, Ä, ö, Ö or ß in the Name the Correction of a Name in German doesn't work.

I mean the Strings.RecipeMatchSubstitutions[""] = "" Part of Globals.lua

Some more issues I see:

• multi-output recipes don't show all their outputs (note that in some scholar recipes, the different outputs have different inputs as well)
• very few item icons "work" (in the sense of getting a popup with item info, being able to Ctrl-RightClick them to create link in chat, ...) when viewing recipes for characters other than the current one

Both of these make the plugin less useful than it could be.

I have alts for every profession, with a reasonably full set of tailor recipes, plus a woodworker that spent about 40g on getting all the L60/65 guild LI recipes, so I can send you my plugindata if you like.

For Cooking recipes, the Cooking Reference plugin (http://www.lotrointerface.com/downloads/info793) already will show the total cost for ingredients for every cooking recipe in the game. It will even build a shopping list of ingredients when you want to make a batch of some cooking item.

Is there a way to add a notes section for each recipe? I would like to keep track of the base cost for making something like food for each one, so I wouldn't have to add things up each time to know what the cost is for said item. Maybe put a notes tab in after the details tab.

Ran into a recipe that doesn't search it in RecipeTracker.

Eastemnet Music Sheet for Scholar.

I'd really like to add a feature where RecipeTracker can also show the recipes that have not yet been learned by any characters. This won't even be that hard to write, the only difficulty lies in getting the list of recipes.

So I'm asking for help. If you have a profession that is maxed and knows most/all of the recipes, send me a PM. All I will need is your plugindata, specifically the RecipeTracker_IngredientList.plugindata and the RecipeTracker_RecipeList.plugindata. I will merge these together and integrate them into the plugin directly, and everyone will benefit.

Thanks in advance

Good to know. Thanks to both authors for the info. I've found issues with some plugins that build a large amount of data slow down loading times and (in cases like Alt Inventory) can cause client crash whenever loading or unloading a character.

Am really liking the plugin - it's small and nonobtrusive.

Two small bugs:

• the minimized icon sometimes shows up over loading screens
• character entries are created for session play ("~Igorina" alongside the "real" character "Igorina")

Two requests:

• show progress next to the tiers (e.g. "<anvil> 75/560" when working towards mastery)
  • would really help me see how many ores/logs I need to farm to allow an alt to hit proficiency/mastery
  • if the amount of craft xp a recipe gives can also be shown, that would be great too
• something to allow a recipe lookup without drag/drop would be good too, so that I can do a lookup when looking at recipes posted on the AH
  • perhaps add an "all characters" view that shows a treeview with all combined professions of the characters + recipes?

I was working on a crafting reference plugin that would know all the crafting recipes. This required collecting all known recipes for all professions. This turned out to be too big an effort, so I decided to start with only Cooking.

I'm in the final testing of my Cooking Reference, which knows all 325 cooking recipes and 172 ingredients. If you'd like to try it out, send me a PM with your email and I'll send you a copy.

When you were a little bit similar with LUA Api and the things allowed in Lotro you will know that this Option isn't possible to program at the Moment. There's no Way to read out Server Side Database of which Recipe is available on Server. The Only Way is to have one Char with all Recipes known and your Second can see what he need when he browse through the List of the first one.

Was wondering if it is possible to have a check box to show all unknown recipes as well as the known ones. Something that would allow one to view all recipes available, even those not currently known by the character. Make it easier to know which tiers to hunt for etc. Also, which recipe scroll cases can just be sold or vendored to reduce storage clutter.

Again, I think this should be a toggle option or something similar.
