So I believe I've discovered the problem. Are you trying to save the data when the plug-in is unloaded? I believe I've read that isn't considered reliable.

I simply nuked the SDRPlugins folder entirely, re-unzipped, and logged on an alt to test. Instead of logging out I manually unloaded plugins and that's when a save file showed up!

I went to copy that save to my main, only for windows to tell me a file already existed!? Sure enough, dated about when I logged out last night, nevermind all the previous times I'd logged out to test to no avail.

If that is the case, I might save after the window is moved or minimized instead, or if the client crashes the position would be lost as well.

Thank you very much for adding the load minimized feature, it's appreciated! I just recommended this plug-in to kinmates.

PS: Edit, case in point, next day I find it loaded in an old position instead of the new location I put it yesterday after posting this comment.

Hmmm weird. I even deleted my save data to make sure it would generate it correctly the first time, and it does. I would try deleting the EpicBattlePlugin folder within SDRPlugins and delete the EpicBattlePlugin.plugin file that is in SDRPlugins, and then reinstall EpicBattlePlugin. If you can, use the PluginCompendium, as it works well for installing and maintain plugin versions. Hopefully this will fix the problem.

American English.

Plugins: Alerter, AltInventory, BuffBars, CircularQuickslots, CombatAnalysis, CTime, GroupManager, LotroPad, MouseCursorHA, Unequipper

As a test, I just unloaded all of them, loaded EBP alone, it didn't create any file without other plugins active either.

No file in AllServers/, AllCharacters/, or my server/character folder, and no error messages. Just "EpicBattlePlugin v0.9 by Alvirhelm; German Translations by Burgus; has loaded!", nothing after that unfortunately.

What client language are you using? What other plugins are running while EPB is running? Do you get any errors in the general chat channel that might show what is going on? Also, do you have a file called EBPSaveData.plugindata in your character folder? That is the file it should save to. We'll start with that, and see if we can't figure out what is going on.


Also for others, I noticed I broke a few things with this update (Glittering Caves is messed up, but you can still manually start things), and I've noticed the side quest start timer is still... pretty inaccurate... I'm starting to worry there isn't going to be an easy way to estimate the starting quest time, because it's not exactly a kill count, and it's not exactly a timer either... will keep working on it but at this point don't rely on it. Expect a new version in the next few days to fix the problems that have arisen.

What more info might you desire? I'll be glad to provide.

It doesn't seem to be saving data for me. Sorting PluginData by date, other plugins saved info today happily, I don't see any file from this one that I recognize in AllServers, my server AllCharacters, or my character folder.

I just relogged thrice after installing 0.9 (and verifying Lotro showed 0.9) I moved it without minimizing, upon relog it was in initial position rather than mine.

I then minimized it and moved it, relog returned it.

I then moved it an minimized it, relog had it non-minimized.

Sorry to report such news, to be sure, there's no user action I'm missing right? Most plugins you simply move and they stay, I don't see a right click menu option to save position or similar.

Hmm, I have uploaded a new version (Alpha 0.9), so I'm hoping that corrects the issue. If not, I will have to ask for some more information from you to see if we can find the problem.

RJFerret

Will be great to load minimized, I look forward to it!

Sadly yes, I see 0.8 in Lotro. I also don't see anything new in PluginData. Since my habit is to minimize then move, I tried moving it without minimizing at all just now, logged out and back in to no avail, it's consistently showing up in the original spot rather than where I move it to.

Stever1388

The first one should be doable. The second one should already be implemented, unless I broke something prior to uploading it. Make sure you have version 0.8 when you are in LOTRO to make sure you have the most recent version.

RJFerret

Very nice, saves trying to read through LotroPad and correlate which side/quests are upcoming.

I have two practical feature requests, one, an option to have it load minimized instead of covering an eighth of the screen.

Two, have it remember the position it is moved to rather than having to be moved on every log in.

Thanks for a rather useful tool, I look forward to enhancements!

Haha, I'll be the first to admit my UIs are rather simple. I'm more of a programmer over a designer, so I generally don't bother making nice UIs. I'm also more of a function over form kind of guy, plus I respect how valuable space is on your computer screen, so I generally try to make smaller, simple, yet understandable UIs, without any fancy (including a title bar - you can move around the window just by holding down your mouse button anywhere over the window). I have added a bit more color to distinguish a few things in the latest update I have, but don't expect anything major.

Glad you found it useful!

I tried it for one week and it makes BB so much easier. It surely needs more work ofc (especially the ui) in order to be a "must have" one but i can see the huge potential it has. Please continue your great work.
