I believe that it is probably not working correctly. I will investigate further and try to isolate the problem.

It would help if you can provide more information. I'm not asking you to thoroughly diagnose the problem. But be more specific about your observations: Tell me exactly when the countdown is "reset", and exactly what you mean by "reset".

Hi, well the situation is like that, I have some reminders with specific times, for example: in Crickhollow server Monday 17:00 hours, Tuesday 17:00 with the same character. Also have automatic reminders for recipes with cooldowns.

When I enter in another server the reminder time is "reset" and appears like "now", and when you see the time of the reminder is the actual time in server, this happens with all reminders if they have a specifi time, with reminder for next login doesn't happen.

Yesterday I delete all reminder of recipes cooldowns and apparetly the reminders with specific time works fine, but later I discovery that again they were reseted.

Today I adjusted the times again, login an logout several times and no one of the reminders was reseted, but I suspect that the reset may be relationated with be login in a diferent day, like if when the day ends the clock were reseted.

I hope this info can be of help.

See later.

EDIT: Effectevely the time in the reminders were reset today.

JDrakul, I have replicated the problem and fixed it in v1.35. Please let me know if you have further problems.

JDrakul

Now is fixed, thanks a lot for the new update Thurallor

Anyone else getting this error:

... Rings Online\Plugins\Thurallor\Reminders\Window.lua:867: attempt to call method 'FindExpiredEvent' (a nil value)

when you finish any of the Mordor Allegiance daily quests?

The plug-in detects them, but doesn't add them.

Thurallor

Thanks for reporting the issue, I'll take a look.

Edit: Found the root cause, will release a new version (1.36) shortly. Meanwhile, you can fix the problem by merely opening and closing the settings panel once.

lordstalker

Thanks. I've opened and closed the settings panel a bunch of times. Sometimes I can't open the settings panel. And everything gets put into a single tab. Hoped it would make tabs for each of my alts. Will try 1.36 and see what happens.

Thurallor

Do you see any error messages?

You need to make your own tabs. Right-click on your existing tab and choose "Create tab". Or click the little "+" sign to the right of your existing tab.

Then you can go into the settings and choose, for each of your alts, which tab you want the automatic reminders to be placed under.

Heya So I just downloaded the plugin and have a few issues. Well, one major one Instead of options, etc. I only get ?† for virtually everything in the options panel (excluding my toon's name). I'm using the English client and am somewhat baffled as this has never happened before Any chance you might know what causes this???

P.S. And now I'm getting this: ... Rings Online\Plugins\Thurallor\Reminders\Window.lua:167: bad argument #1 to 'unpack' (table expected, got nil)

P.P.S. Never mind, it all works now Had to fiddle around with the PluginData as well

Thurallor

This is due to a bug introduced in Update 22 that breaks any plugin that has Russian language support (of which Reminders is one). I'm clinging to the forlorn hope that SSG will fix the bug in tomorrow's hotfix. If not, then I'll release updates to all of my plugins with a workaround. Meanwhile, you can apply the workaround yourself by installing the latest version of Listbox Patch. That will get rid of all of the "†" stuff and occasional Russian text.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but you can blame SSG for basically not caring about plugins.

Thurallor

My nagging apparently was successful, and the problem was fixed in today's game update.

I'm still experimenting with this plugin as I am reminder junkie outside of LOTRO. During the festival some ideas came to me that I dont see a way to do in your plugin.

1)Making a reminder for x minutes past the hour every hour (example: Remind me at 10 mins past the hour, every hour)

2)Making an ad hoc timer for x minutes from now (example: Remind me 20 minutes from now)

3)An option (and maybe this is already there) to repeat said reminder after it goes off

4)Ability to share reminders between characters.

I highly appreciate all the work you do for the game and I use many of your plugins. I look forward to see what else you do with this and your other plugins.

Thurallor

Hi robhupf,

Currently there is no way to do this automatically. I'll think about a user-friendly way to add it.

You can do this. Simply create a new reminder by clicking the big "+" button, then click on the "Time" value to change the delay to 20 minutes. (You can also set the default delay for newly-created reminders, in the global settings window.)

Not currently supported (except in special cases), but I'll think about it. (The supported cases are: crafting cooldowns, daily "tasks", ingredient crates, and repeatable quests.)

This is already implemented. All characters on a server can view all of the reminders on that server. If you mean something else, please specify.

Very glad to hear that, and thanks for the feedback!

robhupf

Thanks for the replies Thurallor. I did some more testing and the countdown timer function does work. My guess is that I missed the reminder firing because the only indicator is the number on the Reminders icon. Is there not anyway to have an audible or popup reminder when the reminder goes off?

Thurallor

An audible notification isn't possible, but a visual one is. My sense is that most users would find it annoying to have a window open every time a reminder expires, which they would then have to click on to close. But maybe an optional message could appear in the middle of the screen, and/or a more conspicuous change in the reminders icon.
