Lotropad window
 
Description
Overview

Lotropad is a simple notepad plugin which you can use to quickly write down some notes without exiting the game. It can be used for, for example, cutting and pasting text to and from chat windows and storing reference information such as instance tactics or LOTRO Store shopping lists .

Big thanks to Vevenalia for the French translation!

Features
  • 10 note pages, each of which can be named
  • Image notes
  • Movable and resizable window
  • Adjustable font size, window opacity, and visibility on load
  • Movable button for toggling Lotropad window
  • NEW: Mini mode, right-click the button to switch between normal and mini mode

Installation
  • Unzip the plugin to your 'Documents/The Lord of the Rings Online/Plugins' folder

How to use
  • To load the plugin type /plugins load lotropad.
  • You can show and hide Lotropad window by clicking the Lotropad icon (visible by default). Button can be moved by dragging it. Position of the button is saved when clicking 'save all'.
  • Right-click the Lotropad icon to switch between normal and mini mode. In the mini mode, everything else is hidden except the text of the note.
  • Click and drag from the bottom right corner of the window to resize it.
  • Click and drag the title bar to move the window.
  • To save your notes click Save all, this will save the contents of all your notes. The write procedure is delayed so it might take a moment to be executed. Notes are currently saved per account which means that all of your characters on all servers can access them. Note that pressing Set will only set the title and text for the current note. However, this is also done automatically as you click through your notes.
  • Click settings to adjust the font size (main text field only), window opacity, and window visibility on load.
  • You can set a background, such as a map or tactics diagram, for a note. First copy the image (jpg or tga only) to images folder under the Lotropad plugin folder. Then click Img and type the image filename to the text field. Clicking Set image sets the image as the new background and Clear image removes the background image.
  • Answers to commonly asked questions can be found here

Command line options
  • /lotropad show - shows the Lotropad window
  • /lotropad hide - hides the Lotropad window
  • /lotropad toggle - toggles the Lotropad window
  • /lotropad - lists command line options

Known issues
  • When the whole note does not fit the window, the position of the scroll bar always moves to the end when the note is opened.
  • The plugin might still have problems with German or French clients
  • Background images might not be visible with some skins. This depends on how the alpha channel is set in ArtAssetID "black_translucent" image.

Quick Question

I checked this out briefly in beta, but was wondering if you close the window, do you have to do the command line to reopen? If so, no big deal, I don't need more on my screen, but just wondering if I would/should create a shortcut quickslot for my wife who doesn't normally like to remember / commands except emotes LOL.

You can easy create a shortcut for it with the shortcut command:

/shortcut 1 /lotropad toggle

This will create a shortcut in slot 1 of your first quickslot bar that will toggle the lotropad visible/hidden.

Yes, I believe the most convenient way to do this at the moment is by making a shortcut.

So for example:
/shortcut 36 /lotropad toggle

And then use the resulting button to show and hide the window.

Edit: heh too late

Saved notes not loading

Hey, great app! I can see tons of use for this in game.

But I am having trouble. Notes I entered for a test (and saved with the Save button) don't seem to load when I log out and then back in. Any ideas on how I can correct this?

Thanks and as for the problem you are having.. I'm not exactly sure what could be wrong. If you enter a note and then press 'Set' (this just enters it into the runtime database) and then press 'Save all' (which should write it to the disk), do you get text on the chat window? There should be 'Lotropad save executing soon' on green and then within a minute or so 'Lotropad settings saved'. However, if there's something wrong it might give an error text on red.

Fixed!

Aha! I wasn't using set for the body of the text, just saving. I tried again and hit Set and then hit Save and it works fine!

Excellent work! And a great idea! Thanks!!!

Heh, good . I have to admit that the 'Set' button is a bit confusing. Initially it was called 'Save' and it actually saved the note then and there. But after Turbine removed real-time writing from plugins I was being cautious and made just one global 'save all' button.

Also, if you just click another note it will do the same thing as clicking 'Set'.

Hi all,

I don't have a Plug-In folder. How do I get one? Sorry if this is a newbie question, but I had to ask.

Hello,

In your LotRo documents folder is where you would create a new folder and then name it Plugins. From there is where you would put all of your plugins and the data from Turbine as well. Once you have used the plugins in game, there will be an additional folder that is created by the game name PluginData.

I hope this helps.

I just wanted to say that now that I'm using this mod (and have figured out the nuances of save/set) I really like it. Especially being an altaholic, it is really helpful that the notes are the same across all characters. For instance, I have one note that I put a "shopping list" of all the things I need crafted when I'm on one character, then when I switch to one of my crafters I can pull up that list and see what I need to make. Or I can make a list of traits I want to slot (plan the trait tree), then jot it down in the LotroPad so i don't forget it when each trait slot unlocks.

Excellent work on the plugin.

Thanks! I decided that having the notes shared per account would be the most useful scenario. Didn't come up with enough good reasons why it should be per character or server, other than just to increase the number of available note slots.

I have a problem when trying to use this (v0.70)

I successfully see the lotropad plugin when typing "/plugins refresh" or "/plugins list", but when I try to load it, I see the following error:

Quote:
...of the Rings Online\Plugins\Chiran\Lotropad\Main.lua:4: Unable to resolve packahe "Turbine.Debug"
NEVER MIND!

sorry to have wasted your time, but I found that I also MUST have the "Turbine" folder in my plugins folder, which contains the Debug API needed. I didn't see this in the instructions, but once I re-downloaded and installed the collection of plugins from HERE it started working.

Thanks for such a great tool.. it's already proving VERY useful.

Can you add some copy and paste feature? Like make it where it's possible to copy text from a browser and paste it into the game somewhere.
