Some code is borrowed from Emo by Scott Powers and Songbook by Chiran. Thank you to these authors for their work, without which Lyrical would not have been possible.

I'm really sorry, but I introduced another bug with version 1.5. If you don't have the Turbine plugins installed, loading will fail. I released 1.6 to fix this.

Good news! I finally found and fixed a bug preventing songs from saving, as some have reported. If you loaded other plugins at the same time as Lyrical, it could prevent the data from being saved. Upgrading to Lyrical 1.5 should fix the problem.

Here's some additional info for those experiencing problems with save files not loading or not being regenerated.

I changed the file format between Lyrical 1.3 and 1.4 to fix a bug with European locales. (Technical explanation: numeric array indices were changed to strings to work around problems parsing "," as the decimal separator) The old save files are incompatible with 1.4. If you try, you will get the following error:

Quote:
... Rings Online\Plugins\Astleigh\Lyrical\LyricsBox.lua:27: attempt to index local 'lines' (a nil value)
If you delete the old Lyrical.plugindata, Lyrical will regenerate a save file in the new format. The save data won't be written to disk until you either log out, or use the command "/plugins unload". This is a limitation of the plugin framework designed to sandbox plugins from the rest of the system.

If you are still not seeing the save file being written after unloading your plugins, leave a comment.

I hope this helps!

Hi Dwarrowlove, sorry to hear you are having problems. I've received comments from others who are having issues with save files, but I haven't been able to reproduce this bug.

Any additional info you can provide will help.

Are you using the latest version of lyrical?

Do you use German or French locale?

Untill one day it no longer saved my new files.
Can you think of anything different you did that day? Such as, installing something new, upgraded client, upgraded lyrical, LOTRO crashed, etc.

Quote:
So I read on this forum and took the advice and deleted the userdata file...
After you did this, is it regenerating the save file? Can you post it here?

"Posting a note to let people know that Lyrical 1.4 should continue to work in Rise of Isengard."


Not for me though, still same issue, tried everything listed here. As there is no support on this I will remove the application and try to find something else. It's a shame though, I liked the application when it worked.

I need some help here.
I have used Lyrical for a month or so, and all worked fine.
Untill one day it no longer saved my new files.
So I read on this forum and took the advice and deleted the userdata file...
Unfortunately the result is the same.
I'm stuck with the standard note "Gil-galad was an elven king..." and can't add anything else.
What can I do about this??
Please help!

This wonderful plugin won't load for me since RoI. I'm getting the following error:

Quote:
... Rings Online\Plugins\Astleigh\Lyrical\LyricsBox.lua:27: attempt to index local 'lines' (a nil value)
version: 1.4
other plugins: KragenBars, Buffbars, Palantir, Songbook etc. - all loading fine (after updates)

lyrical.plugindata won't reappear if I delete the earlier one, though I got around the other loading bug by adding the 'pages' variable manually to the file. I'm trying to understand the workings of the plugin, but can't see the logic at that spot.


Update: got it to run after further editing the old .plugindata to include quotation marks around the array item indexers and turning them to integers, as suggested by Glenwin. Now it will also create a new .plugindata... strange.

Hello Zedrock,

I looked at that patch, and it is an almost identical fix for the french/german savefile bug which was added in Lyrical 1.4. (It changes the savefile indexes to strings instead of numbers.)

Are you saying that you tried 1.4 and savefiles still did not work, but after applying this patch it did?

Are you having the problem Lya did where savefiles are simply not being generated?

Thanks for the feedback!

Hello, Astleigh

I'm french user of your incredible (^^) Lyrical plugin. So thanks for it.

About the savedata failing in German and French locales :

After much google's research, i found something that has worked on my French Client.

A french guy has rewritten a piece of your code at the begining.
You can look that here :

Wait and See

I found out why your edited plugindata doesn't work. It seems to have a UTF-8 BOM prepended which is confusing the parser. I was able to load it after deleting the BOM.

Did you put your game in french langage to test ?
Yes, and it still works fine for me.

Quote:
I don't use the beta lua. Do you think I should try ?
You don't need the beta lua plugins. Only reason I asked is because they have caused problems in the past with lyrical.

Mmh, I could save two of those (one with the bug, the other without).

http://dl.free.fr/h3OPxND9z the .bak is the one which doesn't work.

Did you put your game in french langage to test ?

I also tryied without any other plugin activated, same bug. And I still cannot edit my text or add one with the new file :/ .

I don't use the beta lua. Do you think I should try ?

Re: Re: Re: Problems with P caps
Sorry Lya, I still can't reproduce the problem you are seeing.

Can you send me the plugindata files you saved, specifically the one that caused the loading error?

Did you install the turbine Beta_LuaPlugins.7z in your Plugins folder? (It looks like "..\Plugins\Turbine" and has a bunch of extra lua files) If you have this folder, can you try temporarily moving it somewhere else and retrying?

Do any of your other plugins have problems saving their plugindata files?
