This hotbar is based on PagedSlots by D.H1cks and incorporates work used in Big Paged Slots by Amethadan.


The bar has 15 slots, and 8 banks for a total of 120 slots.
Due to the width of the bars, a screen width resolution of 1024 or higher is recommended. Similar in design to my LockSlots bars, but set up only to load when you are mounted on a Combat Mount.

I made these bars mainly for my own use as I found it too easy to accidently drag Icons off the bars when using other versions, and tidied up to suit my UI. I started using a quickslot bank so that I could position my mounted combat skills towards the centre of my screen in order to cut down on having to look to the bottom of screen to work out which mount skills were on what key... and found that I greatly reduced my eyestrain from mounted combat when my eyes remaind focused on the middle of screen as an added benefit. (some user who were suffering motion sickness when taking part in mounted combat have said it has helped them in this regad as well).

Warsteeds have 3 build types, and may be traited in different ways, all of which can be changed at the click of a button, and this results in their skills changing depending on the steed type and traiting. When this happes their skill buttons get wiped then repositioned each time you swap specs. These bars allowed me to set up a bank for each of the specs and use it with skills positioned the way I wanted on each bank, and not have to move them on the new mounted UI Turbine has created each time I changed from one trait spec to another.

By default the slots will load centred on your screen width and about 2/3 of the way down the screen.

Bar can be dragged by grabbing a small area alongside the right edge underneath the close button. By intentional design this area is quite small to stop accidental repositioning of the bars.

Command to manually load the bar is:

/plugins load mountslots

Bar is locked against changing the page, orientation, swap, and drop functions, and against using the "x" to toggle off by default. Click the lock icon in bottom right to unlock the bar to enable these fucntions. Click icon again to relock. There is no visual display to show if the bar is locked or unlocked, but a message will be displayed on the general channel in chat window as to whether you have just locked or unlocked the bar.

Up/Down arrows change the page of slots displayed on a bar.

Icon in top left of bar changes bar layout from horizontal to vertical.

"x" in top right corner toggles the bar to it's hidden state (it is not unloaded) use the "/ms1 t" command to toggle back on, or dismount and remount a combat steed and it will toggle back on.

/ms1 will display commands for bar

Install Directions
To install, unzip the downloaded file into the C:\Users\{username}\Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins folder. (If you have my LockSlots bars already installed this will write to the same folder and cause no conflicts).

This plugin also requires the Turbine utilities file that are available at: http://content.turbine.com/sites/lotro/lua/Beta_LuaPlugins.7z
