I agree
I signed for this option
It's on my list. First and foremost is getting the class Buff feature implemented. Next is the smaller enhancements to existing features.

First of all: This is a very good extension and I can hardly play LOTRO without it any more.

BUT: As I am using the German Game Client, everything worked fine a few days ago when I used the plugin for the first time. Playing again today, I get this error (others posted it already before):

Quote:
\Plugins\Tonic\TonicBars\SettingsManager.lua:88: Unable to parse file!
I had 1.5.1 installed and therefore downloaded 1.5.2 - but nothing changed, the error message is the very same. From my point of view the file you want to load in line 88:

Code:
self.profiles = Turbine.PluginData.Load( Turbine.DataScope.Server, "TonicBarSettings" );
cannot be loaded by the parser. Perhaps the saving routine already wrote some errors into the file so that it can't be read anymore.

If so - how can I delete that file (which is stored on the server as I understand)? Because any workaround or hack is worthless if the system sees that there is a file already there and crashes because of read errors. Perhaps a subroutine would be useful which deletes the file automatically on hitting the error message above.

Thanks again for your efforts and I am looking forward to use your plugin as soon as possible!

Sadly, that is exactly what happened. There is a bug with the base Save/Load Turbine has on the Localized clients. This causes saved data not to be loaded correctly. I have corrected that by saving the data in a different way (on localized clients). That basically bypasses the real issue.

So, yeah, upgrading from v1.5.1 to v1.5.2 requires localized clients to delete their settings... sorry, but it was beyond my control. You can find this file under: "/Lord of the Rings Online/plugindata/<username>/<server>/AllCharacters/" The file is called tonicbarsettings or something like that.

Hope it helps!

Hi, I found a strange problem, if load the Plug-in TonicBars by manually typing the command in the chat window "/plugins load tonicbars" Plug-in is loaded correctly and bar extensions are properly aligned with their quickslots, but if load Plug-in from a quickslot in a Lotro bar with an alias "Alias: /plugins load tonicbars" Plug-in is loaded correctly, but the bar extensions appear elsewhere on the screen when you pass the mouse over the quickslots of Quickbar...

EDIT: Correction, in the quickslot of Lotro bar that running Alias I have assigned a shortcut by keys (CTRL+1), if I just click directly on that quickslot, the plug-in is loaded properly as well with extensions bars aligned, only when I use the key combination "CTRL+1" to run this quickslot that runnind Alias for load TonicBars Plug-in is when bars extensions appear unaligned.

Yoshua,
This is a known issue. I havn't investigated to determine if it's my bug or Turbines. Based on the description though, I'm pretty sure it's not mine. But need to look into it more. This falls under my after v2.0 fixes.

I do not think it's a problem with the Plug-in Tonicbars, it's curious that where extensions are deployed precisely where they are created by default quickbars, I'll see if I can find the problem.

On the Plug-in settings file "TonicBarSettings.plugindata" (I use 1.5.2) I see that all extensions of bars have the same value X and Y, except the bar 1 that corresponds to the Quickbars.

X and Y values on Extensions aren't used. They are "left overs" from the QuickslotBars. Generally, when the Bar manager is created it Registers all Extensions with their respective Quickslot Bars. When they do that, they get re-aligned to the Slot they are assigned to.

The biggest things on an upgrade is to delete your old plugin and start from scratch. So under /lord of the rings online/plugins delete tonicbars. Don't delete /lord of the rings online/plugindata.

Then install like you did the first time.

...ngs Online\Plugins\Tonic\TonicBars\Menu\MainMenu.lua:109: attempt to index field 'MainButtons' (a nil value)
I'm getting this error when i try to load the plugin...


r57
the line should be
Code:
quickbarsButton:SetText( LOCALESTRINGS.MainButtons[1] );

Buggy

Great idea, but still very buggy as you probably know.

Having tried the 1.4, 1.52, 2.0b and 2.0 releases (you're up to v2.0 and still buggy?!) these are the persistant issues:

1) Triggering bars to show up on pressing CTRL or ALT or SHIFT doesn't work. I think back in 1.52 it worked once but ever since it just doesn't work.
2) Possibly related, but enabling TonicBars on a new character generics errors like this: "...line\Plugins\Tonic\TonicBars\Menu\QuickslotsMe nu.lua:293: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'healthTrigger' (a nil value)"
3) Bar creation is still badly bugged. Try clicking "Add Bar" 3 times, then rename your second bar. You'll find your 3rd bar has vanished from the drop down.

I realize this is a free thing for the public that you're doing for other people (and probably yourself) but at v2.0 this plugin is just terrible. Or maybe I'm reading too far into your version numbers and this really is a 0.8b rather than a 2.0 and it's far from release worthy.

Anyway good luck with it, I'll spin past again in a few months to see how your plugin is going.

See, right here's my issue. People played with the beta but I received only 1 issue notification. I actually Didn't know, or I would have fixed it. Having reworked a VERY large chunk of code, I can't do everything. Beta was a chance for the community to help out. Did anyone? Other than the Translators, Not really. So... it is what it is.

1) I'm not seeing your CTRL/ALT/SHIFT issues. They work just fine from my angle. Do you have CTRL/ALT/SHIFT mapped to different keys for other functions?
2) This was a 2 liner. When filing a report, make sure the information is accurate. This only happens if you try to configure the health / power Event settings. It doesn't happen at plugin load time.
3) I've never heard of that one. How can you assume anyone can fix things they don't see or hear about.

Just to give a little scope here, I have 6000 lines of code in this plugin. We're not talking a small 1 file, 100 line code package.

This was released based on the fact that this is free and the bugs that are here are MINIMAL. I work on Life critical / Safety critical software for a living this is neither of the above. If I decided to wait until I had time to test everything this would be my full time job, but it's not. I've put over 100 hours into the development of this plugin and received 0 compensation, so, although you might not appreciate it, many others do.

error in 2.0

I get this error upon running Plugin Manager with 2.0. Previous version worked fine.

Online\Plugins\Tonic\TonicBars\SettingsManager.lua :398: SetShortcut failure! Invalid shortcut specified!

Re: error in 2.0

Yeah, I removed a very large hack that we needed to add to work around a Turbine issue. That issue is fixed with the November Update and since it was such a Hack, I cleaned up the code. The problem is I should have waited until the patch was out. I'll put that code back and post an update with some of these fixes tonight.
