Note: VitalBars has been updated to NOT overwrite other plugin Player events and to use the latest version of Turbine packages. However, until the issue discussed here is handled properly by Turbine other plugins may overwrite the VitalBars Listeners causing VitalBars not to work properly. Loading VitalBars last is recommended to avoid the potential overwrite.

What is does
Displays characters level, name, morale and power bars. Used in conjunction with a buff / debuff plugin it can replace the default Vitals frame.

Features

• Display character morale and power stacked on top of each other or horizontally side by side.
• Independantly resize the width and height of the morale and power bars.
• Optionally hide default Vitals frame.
• Optionally displays character level, name, morale text, and power text.
• Optionally displays morale and power text as percentages.
• Optionally displays only morale or power.
• Adjustable in combat and out of combat opacity.
• Optionally adjust opacity based on Morale percentage. ie. When Morale bar is no longer visible you must be dead.
• Optionally maintain In Combat opacity when health is not 100%.
• Choose from 2 different backgound. A 3D look or flat look.
• Integrated with UI lock/unlock for moving.
• Does not have buff/debuff functionality. I use Pengoros' Buffbars for this.

Credit
This plug is a modification of the Turbine Vitals plugin by Rod so credit for the actual functionality of the bars goes to Rod. I copied quite a bit from Pengoros' Buffbars so credit for the following goes to Pengoros.

• sliders, checkbox, and combobox in options window.
• saving and loading settings.
• UI lock/unlock integration for movement.

Dependancies

• Turbine.Animation
• Turbine.UI.Extenstions

All these dependancies are available on the LOTRO site at http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.p...mples-updated!. Click the script examples ink. Within that 7zip file you only need the following directories.

• Plugins\Turbine - make sure to grab all the .lua files or Animations fail to load.
• Plugins\Turbine\Animations
• Plugins\Turbine\UI

Future Plans (In no particular order)

• Expand context menu to include all items of the default vitals window.
• Allow user to choose colors for background and forground of Morale and Power bars.
• Optionally display bars vertically.
• Optionally move Morale and Power bars independant of each other.

On hold until Turbine API expands

• Add support for pet, fellowship, and target.
