Hey Garan, I was wondering if there is a way to help you update MoorMap for War of the Three Peaks?

Garan

Hi,

Sorry to hear you are having difficulty. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be a problem with the MoorMap zip file but rather SevenZipSharp. It may be that a specific version of SevenZipSharp is causing the issue as it has recently been reported with other zip files that open and unzip just fine with other implementations of zip decompression. I do not use SevenZipSharp but another user that does use SevenZipSharp reported the same error with another plugin and found that using ccleaner and rebooting cleared up the problem on his system. If that does not work for you, I would suggest searching for assistance with SevenZipSharp and large zip files (both MoorMap and TerrainMap are fairly large zips, at least as far as plugins go), trying an older version of SevenZipSharp (the most recent version may have a bug), using another zip package such as 7-zip (https://www.7-zip.org/download.html) or downloading the zip file and manually extracting it to your Documents\Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins folder.

Love this plugin!!!

Unfortunately, as of 9/11 it will not load using Plugin Compendium I get the error message below.

"Problem while installing MoorMap
Invalid archive: open/read error. It is encrypted and a wrong password was provided?

If your archive is an exotic one, it is possible that SevenZipSharp has no signature for its format and thus decided it is TAR by mistake."

This is the only plugin with the issue. Tried removing and re-adding , each time I get the same error message.

Any help to resolve the issue would be very much appreciated

The issue is that you are in an interior location that is physically mapped to a part of the world that is outside the bounds of any parchment map. World coordinates from interior locations are not valid. Leave the crafting hall and location info will work.

FWIW, I have been attempting to map all of the interior locations to their entrance/exit coordinates in the real world but that has turned into a massive task and may never be completed. Unfortunately, that is the only way to deal with interiors.

to answer the questions here are the answers:

- I use an EN client and play on a Laurelin server
- during testing I was on the map of Bree-land, more precisely the city of Bree in the Tree-farrow crafting hall and in the plugin I had a map of Lone-lands displayed which should not be a problem
-After request, I am attaching screenhots in which they are displayed: required message chat after clicking on the localization icon in the MoorMap plugin (icon / loc) screenshot of my plugin settings



the picture with the desired chat is ScreenShot_2020-08-14_181825_0 the 2 more pictures are as I have the plugin set

Hi, there are a few things that might help replicate the issue you are having:
Which version of the client are you running? EN, FR or DE?
Which map are you currently on?
Can you please post a screenshot of the exact message that is displayed in chat when you click the location icon in MoorMap (the /loc icon).

vecny.samotar

but I went into the game I opened the plugin map
MoorMap and I pressed the waypoint icon.

before (thought before updating the game when there were problems with the MoorMap and waypoint plugins), when I did this, the action was written to chat / loc and at the same time the plugin map showed me where I was and one map was displayed in the plugin, simply crossed the map where I was and showed my position on the map.

now it only writes to chat / loc and does nothing else

I update plugins using the LOTRO Plugin Compendium and there it writes to me that I have current plugins and there is no need to update plugins

Garan

Yep, and those with programmable keyboards can even automate this. Bind the /loc command to a built-in quickslot via the /shortcut command and then set your keyboard to activate their chosen quickslot every few seconds. This will automatically update the position as you run along. There are two catches, first the cursor needs to be in a non-entry field part of the screen, otherwise the /loc command will go to the entry field. Second, you need a way to start and stop the keyboard macro but that can be handled by most programmable keyboards. Makes the map/waypoint features much more useful. You can even automatically leave breadcrumbs by adding the Alt key to the macro

Thanks for updating, installed and works great.

New update to Waypoint now version 1.7
I could not duplicate vecny.samotar error.

However I did learn something new. Open MoorMap or TerrainMap (best to resize/smaller) leave map open and using (alias/loc within Map), shortcut to (alias/loc) or Waypoint clicking on arrow(alias/loc) move, change direction and keep clicking the (alias/loc) and you.ll see a "live view" of your location updated as you walk, run or ride. in the past I usually just closed map and opened when I need to to see new position. The map can be resized by left click along right edge.

vecny.samotar

thanks for updating the plugin but it looks like the edit you made doesn't work.
before these problems occurred after pressing the waypoint button (alias: / loc) my position was shown and at the same time it was written to the chat and there was one map I had displayed.
now the position will only be listed in the chat but will not show my position on the plugin map. I tried it with the new function "Respond to / loc when minimized" turned on and also with this function turned off with the same result.
between the individual trials, I always turned off the game and then turned it on so that the settings were written down

based on a previous discussion about adding important points to the Berry Deed map, I'm sending you chest coordinates for a series of quests from
NPC Bingo Boffin:
Quest: The Last Treasure chest is located on the coordinates: 34.0S, 40.7W
Quest: Goose and Gander chest is located on the coordinates: 34.7S, 35.5W
Quest: The End Now? 2 containers for the quest are located on the coordinates: 34.0S, 40.7W, ie on the left side of the entrance to the pub

if you consider it important, add it to the Berry Deed map database.

note:
in the quest The Last Treasure after manual creation point of interest and subsequent search using the module search plugin lets you know this point of interest is located on the map of Bree-land although it is a map of lone-lands

MoorMap and TerrainMap will be updated soon for this. Unfortunately due to recent weather I have no power or internet (currently posting on a local library computer) so it may be a few days before I can post the updates.

MoorMap not working after update 27.2
the Alias/loc will not show where you.re at.
seems new info needed in /loc cmd.
you are on <ServerName or World> server <serverNumber> at

as a workaround I added (ServerName or World) .for me Crickhollow
for a temp fix and Alias/Loc does work again.
I did not need to add ServerNumber.

Thanks for the plugin, coupled with your Terrain Map great stuff.

vecny.samotar

Thank you for the explanation and I hope that in the future you will find time for deeper adjustments not only to maintain what you are doing now, because your map plugins are excellent, it would be a shame not to use the full potential of your map plugins. Thank you once again for taking the time to answer me and answer my probably stupid questions

Overlays are actually incredibly simple to create, just a little hard to share but that is due to limitations of the Lua API. That said, there has been a "how-to" video in the works. OK, it's been "in the works" for about 8 years now - Overlays were introduce in 2012 - I just never seem to find the time to record and edit it. I did recently finish re-recording part of it covering custom icons and a basic Overlay for ore nodes, I just need to find the time (and motivation) to edit it a bit and then I can finally publish it.

However, as mentioned several times now, I do not actively play LotRO anymore so anything LotRO related is very low priority. You shouldn't expect any major changes other than bug fixes, new maps and new annotations when they are released by SSG. Anything else only gets worked on when I am not busy with RL or other hobbies (of which I have many) so LotRO (and thus plugins) does not get much of my attention any more. My plugins are not abandoned but they are mostly in a maintenance mode with very little new development.

vecny.samotar

so i misunderstood overlay maintenence.
I thought that I could create a database in which I could then enter data using the custom annotations maintenance tool, but it is actually just an image store, or maybe I was wrong. according to the text in Readme.txt I have to create a screen map which I then have to edit and save the modified map in the plugin and then load it in the game in the overlay maintenance

for a less skilled user, it's quite complicated, maybe it would help to create a video tutorial on how to do it as a tool as to how to do it.

I think that due to the complexity of the overlay maintenance procedure, most users use only custom annotations maintenance and do not use custom annotations maintenance at all.

it would like to work out the overlay maintenance in the way I mentioned, ie the possibility to create a database in the overlay with the addition of a window like Berry's Deed maps, because now it is quite difficult to search among the saved points in custom annotations maintenance. such a database would work in the way that a database would be created in the overlay maintenence to which individual points on the map would be added using custom annotations maintenance. a window like Berry's Deed maps would make it easy to navigate between saved points. then such a database could be shared and possibly sent to you in PM so that the important points according to your opinion can be included in Berry's Deed maps which is actually the default database
