/dtn ;loc not working in Udun Foothold and Haerondir

If I open the window with /dtw and click Check Nearest in Udun Foothold and Haerondir, or use /dtn ;loc, I get no trophies showing up even though I have trophies that can be turned in in my bags.

/dt works fine and shows the trophies as normal.

This is only a problem at the above two locations as far as I know (haven't travelled any further into Mordor yet).

Glad you have it working

Notepad++ is fine for editing (I use it myself for my files that need non-ASCII characters) as long as you double check that the encoding, from the Encoding menu, is set as "Encode in UTF-8 without BOM" not just "Encode in UTF-8". I've had the encoding change on me in documents and never tracked down the reason, but it may have something to do with copy/paste from other applications.

As to plugin data, that is stored in files under the PluginData folder, not the Plugins folder, so deleting plugin source files won't remove any data or settings saved by the plugin. Of course, that also means that if the actual error was a corrupted data file, deleting the entire plugin source and re-installing wouldn't help, but fortunately that wasn't the case here.

Yes, I'm using compendium. On 2nd try I unzipped files manually since plugin was already current version. My DT_Data.lua indeed starts with --.
So I moved whole Vinny folder to another place and uncompressed downloaded file again. Plugin works now, thank you.
Then I compared both folders and oddly enough DT_Data.lua content appeared to be identical in both cases (I used a tool from Total Commander), however version which doesn't work is larger by 3 bytes (67342 vs. 67339). Finally I opened that bigger file in hex editor and found that it actually begins with 3 bytes which aren't displayed in text editors.
Not sure what happened at start but at least I know why it didn't work.
Are there any user data in this plugin (maybe I should copy back some files from my original plugin)? It seems other files are the same in both copies, but just to be sure...

ver. 4.3

Hello
After upgrading to ver. 4.3 plugin doesn't load. Here is what I got in chat window:
...uments\The Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins\Vinny\DailyTasks\DT_Data.lua:1: '=' expected near '»'
...he Rings Online\Plugins\Vinny\DailyTasks\DT_Main.lua:18: Failed to import package "Vinny.DailyTasks.DT_Data".

I manually changed line 143 at first as was shown in comment, but after I saw it won't load I downloaded plugin again, this time without any changes. Still no luck. Is there any way to make it work (I didn't try to downgrade to previous version)?

Version 4.3 fix

Ok, I found the guess I made about task levels was wrong. In the file DT_Data.lua, line #143 should be:
Code:
  [115] = 105, -- Mordor
I'm not posting an updated version just yet until I've verified the rest of it.

Exclamation Versiion 4.3 (Lotro update 20)

This version adds the new task boards and trophies for Mordor. This is a preliminary version that I haven't been able to fully verify yet as my top character need to level up more. In particular, I'm not sure at what level the new tasks become visible. I'll publish an update when it is more polished.

Let me know of any defects that you find so that I can fix them in the update.

Hello / Bonjour Vinny

With the change of computer i made an update to 4.2 from 3.5
There's many problems with the french localisation

First we use an , for numbers not the . When you save level it save like 105,0000 but the program use the english number form 105.0000

Here is the modification i made. i save numbers in string.

DT_Main.lua
Line 12 if false or (Turbine.Shell.IsCommand("aide")) then -- French? ----- Old Line if false or (Turbine.Shell.IsCommand("conseil")) then
Line 48 DT_Settings.player[pname] = string.format("%i", plvl) ----Old Line DT_Settings.player[pname] = plvl
Line 278 plvl = tonumber(lvl) or player:GetLevel() ----Old Line plvl = lvl or player:GetLevel()
Line 583 DT_Settings.player[pname] = string.format("%i", player:GetLevel()) ----Old Line DT_Settings.player[pname] = player:GetLevel()


here pb with Max_lvl, i don't know where it come from
DT_Window.lua
Line 195 if not lvl or lvl<1 or lvl>999 then ----Old Line if not lvl or lvl<1 or lvl>Max_lvl then


Insert your new contents
DT_Data_FR.lua
lmap = {
[75] = 68, -- Great River
[80] = 75, -- East Rohan
[85] = 80, -- Forlaw
[86] = 81, -- West Rohan
[90] = 90, -- West Gondor
[100] = 95, -- Central/East Gondor
[105] = 100 -- Far Anorien
},


I don't know if i notice all the change you made
i will give you soon the french file completely update to new zone
thanks for work

Haerondir problem

In Haerondir if I open the window with /dtw and click Check Nearest (or use /dtn ;loc) nothing shows up as usable but I have 6 tasks that can be completed (these show if I use /dt). Everything works as it should in Camp of the Host.

Lotro Update 20

It looks like there is one new task board added with this update, but no new trophies. I plan to release a new version of DT soon.

Bug when closing down?

I seem to have found a bug which affects the recorded level when you have more than one character on a server; I think it might only happen when you use the DT Window to view your current items from the POV of another character.

What happens is that at some point, and I think it's when you logout, the level for your other character gets overwritten with the level for your current character. I need to do some more detective work to find the particular combination of circumstances but that is what is happening
