Hi,

New window interface is quite useful (however I prefer to use commands) but I think Window Mode shouldn't be automatic displayed immediately after plugin load. Imho better way will be to keep it hidden and display after /dtw switch.

I use Plugin Manager and all my plugins are loaded at once. So I had to close DailyTasks Window every time. A little bit annoying..

Just wanted to say thanks for a great plugin. It's a great help for sure. It's a pity Turbine didn't have the entire game data driven so that they could expose this kind of data as well as other things.

As for the directory structure, I usually end up modifying it myself. I like to see the plugin name as the top folder in the plugins directory instead of author name or some other random text. It would be nice if the plugin author community could develop a standard and then stick to it. All in all not a big deal for me since I can control it myself.

I for one would love this. I might even have to look at how to do it myself. With so many trash items, the dt report gets really long and running it multiple times gets confusing to parse when in the chat window. I've resorted to creating a new tab, filtering everything but Standard, just so I could see the report results easier.

Anyway, thanks for the hard work!

I second this. Every plugin should be in a unique subdirectory by either the plugin name (I prefer this) or the author's name (some do it this way when they have more than 1 plugin). Continuing to use "MyPlugins" is not the standard and a general name that makes it look like you developed this off some book example.

It's not a matter of function, but a matter of professionalism and organization. Just imagine if every plugin author continued to use "MyPlugins", it would be a complete mess.

Smile Version 1.4

The latest version fixes a few more defects and now includes menu buttons in the DT window to select filters and locations. With these selections, you can now display most of the listings that can be requested from the command line.

Note: I had originally planned to have the output from the window actions displayed in a scrollable pop-up window, but have decided that for now, it wouldn't really add enough benefit for the effort required to implement it.

Hi,

Unfortunately, the current location in not available in the current API,
I see... it's a pity that Turbine missed it.

I've found one small typo in location name:
IS: Tym Lhuig
SHOULD BE: Tyrn Lhuig

location in Angmar.

Greetz!

Generally all plugins work the way I described

Chiran's Songbook .plugin file is in .My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\plugins\Chiran\ for instance

I agree, I've been wanting to add this for a while now. Unfortunately, the current location in not available in the current API, so the only way for DT to know it would be for you to enter it, which defeats the whole point of simplifying it.

The current way to simplify it is to add location names to a drop-down menu, which is on my to-do list.

new feature

According to new features. It will be nice to add "auto-detection of current location".
I mean currently if I'm in Augaire then I have to write for example: "/dtc Aughaire"
It will be nice to write just for example: "/dtcl" (some new shortcut)
and then /dtc command will execute with location name taken automatically from your current location (same name which is displayed under MiniMap radar).

It will be a liitle bit time saver.
"lists the items with a large enough stack to complete tasks by the current player _In Current Location_"

I must be honnest and say that i edited the file so this plugin works as other plugins about the directories.

It was too much of problem either with the manager --was not working--.

so for me its now ....DailyTasks.DailyTasks... where it was needed.

Yes, I've run into this also, but it is a bug in Turbine's API. New items added to the inventory don't always show up in the API.

To prove that it isn't DT, unload and reload DT and now both stacks will be visible.

The .plugin file is included in the .zip file. Perhaps you just forgot to extract it?

inventory items counting bug

Hi Vinny,

First of all thank you very much for this plugin. I use it every day! It's my favourite

I think I found small bug. It's connected with inventory items count.

How to test the bug?
Take some multiple items. Split them into 2 groups where one group will have <10 number of items.
Then execute command:
/dtc <location>

You will see that result returned by plugin depends on what item group will be find first.

See pictures which will explain all (I hope). I use plugin version 1.2.1

Directory problems

I'm on Windoze 7

I unzipped the files and now have .../The Lord of the Rings Online/Plugins/MyPlugins/DailyTasks

1) DailyTasks did not load and did not appear in the /plugins list

2) It did not load or appear in the /plugins list, until I created the following xml file in the MyPlugins directory (The format for which I borrowed from another plugin which DOES load)

Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Plugin>
	<Information>
		<Name>DailyTasks</Name>
		<Author>Vinny</Author>
		<Version>1.3</Version>
	</Information>
	<Package>MyPlugins.DailyTasks.DT_Main</Package>
</Plugin>
Now, DailyTasks appears in the /plugins list but will not load. It give a whole bunch of messages about Turbine.UI.Extensions and etc etc.

Apparently I have to load that.
SO... I got that from the Turbine boards and now (with the xml file I created) it seems to work.
