Hi Bigdid,
SequenceBars doesn't make any backups, sorry.

For each character, there is a settings file:

Documents/The Lord of the Rings Online/PluginData/<account>/<server>/<character>/SequenceBars.plugindata

and for each account, there is a file for collecting information on effects:

Documents/The Lord of the Rings Online/PluginData/<account>/AllServers/Thurallor_GameInfo.plugindata

The latter is not strictly necessary; it will get rebuilt automatically if you delete it. It collects information about effects that it sees on your character or your target, to make a list of effects that you can select for conditional slots.

Hi Thurallor,

That made it! glad to recover all my sequences painfully build. Especially dps rotation for warden!

Thanks and best wishes.

Danke, ich habe den Link aktualisiert.

Hallo,
erst einmal vielen Dank für deine harte Arbeit, ich hätte jedoch eine Frage.

Da Lotro kein Addon wie "Weakauras" oder ähnliches besitzt, möchte ich dein Addon dafür nutzen, um mir Skillcooldowns anzeigen zu lassen.

Was ich möchte, ist das Skill A von der Leiste verschwindet/unsichtbar wird, wenn er auf Cooldown ist und erst wieder erscheint, wenn der Cooldown abgelaufen ist.

Nun ist dies möglich (über else/if und zumindest das Anzeigen einer anderen Textur möglich, nicht unbedingt ein Ausblenden/Transparenz - wäre also auch hier über nen Tipp dankbar), wenn ich dein Addon für den vorgesehenen Zweck einsetze (klicken), jedoch aktiviere ich Spells klassisch über meine Tastatur (1,2,3,4; STRG+1, STRG+2 etc.)

Dadurch wird das Event nicht getriggert und die Leiste "bewegt" sich sozusagen nicht sequenziell, weswegen das Icon nie ausgeblendet wird.

Ist es irgendwie möglich, die Icons unsichtbar zu machen, wenn ich nicht klicke, sondern die Tastatur fürs Spell-auslösen nutze?

Ich hoffe, du verstehst, was ich meine.

Ich habe hier auch nochmal ein Foto angehangen:

https://imgur.com/a/F3ev1

Ich möchte sozusagen, dass einzelne Icons für die Dauer des Cooldowns ausgeblendet werden, ohne das sich die Leiste bewegt und ohne dass ich tatsächlich klicken muss, so wie es aktuell noch von Nöten ist, damit die Else/If Funktion nutzbar ist.

Sofern dies nicht implementiert ist und nicht geht, da möglicherweise Tastatureingaben, die die Spells auslösen, nicht abgefragt werden oder so, wäre ich auch gern bereit etwas Spendengeld da zu lassen, wenn es möglich wäre, dies zu implementieren Schreib mir dann ne PM mit deiner Vorstellung.

Dein Addon scheint nämlich recht mächtig zu sein, was fantastisch ist, doch scheint zumindest in der aktuellen Iteration vor allem für Clicker interessant zu sein, was keine Kritik ist, da du es ja dafür entwickelt hast, doch auch ein wenig schade ist, da es das "Weakauras" für Lotro sein könnte, wenn das Addon auch mit der Tastatur in Verbindung gebracht werden könnte.

Wenn sozusagen alle Abfragen (wrath, debuff, moral etc., also alles in der "IF" Funktion), nicht nur CDs, auch mit Tastatureingaben assoziert werden könnten, wäre das natürlich der ultimative Traum - deswegen nochmal mein Hinweis auf die PM

Paradoxic,

My German is very rudimentary, but I think I understood the essence of your problem. This video should help. It is in English, but the subtitles are very complete, so the auto-translation feature should work OK.

Basically, you need two bars:

1. A bar that runs continuously (ausführen kontinuierlich), generating a user event (benutzerdefiniertes Ereignis erstellen).
2. A bar (containing conditionals) that automatically resets when the user event is received (Leiste zurücksetzen bei Eintreten eines benutzerdefinierten Ereignisses).

Best regards,
Thurallor

Paradoxic

Oh, I apologize, I assumed you were German. Then let me rephrase everything in English.

First of all, thank you for your hard work but I have a question.

Since Lotro doesn't have something like Weakauras I want to use your addon to display the cooldowns of my spells.

What I want is that "skill A, Skill B etc." disappear from the bar/become invisible, if they are on cooldown and only become visible again once the cooldown is finished.

I know this is possible (via else/If, or at least you can display another texture, not really full transparancy so I'd be thankful for a tip here as well), if I use your addon the way it was intended to be used (as a clicker), the thing is, though, that I activate my spells via the hotkeys of my keyboard (1,2,3; CTRL+1, CTR+2 etc.)

Due to that the event doesn't get triggered and the bar doesn't move sequentially to the left if you will which is why the Icon never disappears/fades out.

Is it possible to make the icon fully transparent/invisible if I don't click but instead use my keyboard to activate my spells?

I hope, you understand what I mean. I also made a picture to make it easier to understand:

https://imgur.com/a/F3ev1


What I essentially would like to do, is that each icon is hidden for the duration of the cooldown, without the bar actually moving (so current behaviour if you use the keyboard) and without having to click (since that only seems to trigger the "If/else" functions) but instead via the use of my keyboard hotkeys and not just through the use of mouse clicks.

If this isn't possible, maybe because keystrokes aren't really called up/captured, would it be possible to implement it at least for the CD? I'd gladly donate some money for that, just pm me for further info/your thoughts - I am sure we can work something out.

Because your addon seems to be extremly powerful (like I said, Weakauras of Lotro if you will) but currently is only really interesting for clickers which is a bit sad considering how many possibilieties it offers. So if it would be possible to basically attach the same functions (all the IF/Else functions like moral, wrath, debuff etc.), that would be phenomenal.

If that would be too much work, I'd be happy with just the CD function and like I said, you can gladly PM me in terms of donation.

Thurallor

Thanks for the translation, but my response is the same. ;-)

You can do what you are requesting, by using a continuously-executing bar that is generating a constant stream of "tick" events. The other bar uses that "tick" event to reset itself and reevaluate its conditionals.

The game is down right now, but later I will login and make some example screencaps.

Paradoxic

I didn't know that was possible, thank you so much. And thanks for the offer with the screencaps, that would most definitely help me. And I will also take a deep look at the video once the game is up.

Hearing that it's possible makes me really happy

Thurallor

Let's assume you already have a bar called "Skills Display", which shows your skills when they are off cooldown. (See the right side of the image below.) It has the following slots:

1. Conditional: "If effect is not present: Defiant Challenge"
2. Conditional: "If skill is ready: Defiant Challenge"
3. Skill: Defiant Challenge
4. End of conditional
5. End of conditional

So, the "Defiant Challenge" icon will only appear when the "Defiant Challenge" effect is absent, and the "Defiant Challenge" skill is ready (i.e. off cooldown).



The only problem is, the conditionals are only evaluated when you click on the skill. Instead, you can force the conditionals to be evaluated continuously. To do so, you need the bar to reset continuously. Here's how to make it happen:

1. Create a new bar, called "Ticker". (See the left side of the image above.)
2. Add a special slot to it: Generate User Event.
   • Set the event name to "Tick".
   • Under "Activation", choose "Automatic".
3. In the right-click menu for the "Ticker" bar:
   • Choose Settings -> Run continuously.
   • Choose Event Behaviours -> Enable.
   • Choose Event Behaviours -> Add behaviour -> Start executing -> at startup.
4. Start executing the "Ticker" by clicking the gear icon.
5. Right-click "Ticker", choose "Hide".

Now, you are generating a continuous stream of "Tick" events. Next, you need to make the "Skills Display" bar respond to the "Tick" event:

• In the right-click menu for the "Skills Display" bar:
  • Choose Event Behaviours -> Enable.
  • Choose Event Behaviours -> Add behavior -> Reset bar -> When user event occurs -> Tick.
  • (Optional, but recommended) Choose Settings -> Animation -> Instantaneous

Paradoxic

I can't thank you enough, Thurallor. Thanks for taking the time and typing that all out

Paradoxic

Sorry for the double post.

I now tried it and everything works perfectly Just one thing, is it possible to hide the green arrow that shows up when only 1 icon is on the sequence bar and it is on cooldown?

Because what I want to avoid is the "bumping" of the skills that occur when multiple skills come of cooldown at a similar time which is why I want to use 1 skill per sequencebar, so that the icon stays at the same spot.

Problem is, that the green arrow appears to show me, that the bar is empty but I want the bar to become invisible completely until the 1 skill on the bar comes off cooldown. Any way to hide it or do you have a workaround to hide it?

Thank you

Thurallor

Yes, you can do the following. In your "Skills Display" bar, add a slot at the end that does nothing (for example, a Delay slot with time = 0). Then change the icon of the slot to hide its appearance.

1. Open the sequence editor for "Skills Display".
2. Right-click on slot 6; choose Insert special slot -> Delay.
   • For the period, choose 0 seconds. (This doesn't really matter, but might give a minuscule efficiency improvement.)
   • Under "Activation", choose "With left-click" (not automatic).
   • Expand the "Appearance" section. Under Icon, choose "Specific" and enter an asset ID. I suggest one of the following: 0x41007E2F, 0x41000068, 0x41001570, 0x4100013C. Or, you can use AssetBrowser to find the ID of any other image in the game.
3. In the right-click menu for "Skills Display", choose Settings -> Width/Height -> 1 slot.

If you use many separate "Skill Display" bars, you should put them in a group, and attach a single event behaviour to the group (Reset group when user event occurs: Tick / Gruppe zurücksetzen bei Eintreten eines benutzerdefinierten Ereignisses: Tick). This is easier and slightly more efficient than having a bar-specific event behaviour for each bar.

Paradoxic

Dude, seriously, you are an absolute Rockstar. I just left the "specific" area blank and now the only thing I see is the small coloured highlighted square around the skill, which doesn't bother me, while the skill in itself is empty if it is on CD

Seriously, if you had a donation link, I'd toss in some money to thank your for maintaining one of the most complex addons in Lotro.

Thank you, Thurallor.

Thurallor

Haha, thanks, but I don't accept donations. I will keep doing it while it amuses me.

Teach someone else to use SequenceBars, that's your donation.
