Help with SortPack Options... get an error??

[Bzufa]

I have the most current version of SortPack, 63, and can't seem to get options to work. The files where unzipped to what I presume is the right location

User/MyDocumens/Lordoftheringsonline/Pugins

I can load the plugin and do /sort, however I can't get the options to work, I get the following message:

Left click on an item category to move it up the list, right click to move it down.

Options are saved per account.

...nline\Plugins\JackdawPlugins\SortPack\ListOptio n.lua:8: attempt to index field 'Lotro' (a nil value)

Online\Plugins\JackdawPlugins\SortPack\Main.lua:31 : Failed to import package "JackdawPlugins.SortPack.ListOption".

I have tried moving the folder around and I have Turbine's 7zip unpacked to the same location, and other plugins work fine... I'm at a loss at to what is wrong and would appreciate any guidance.

You havnt turned on SortPack Button.

Theres 3 parts to SortPack plugin. Get PluginManager (http://www.lotrointerface.com/downloads/info379-PluginManager.html) to be able to use plugins more effeciently.

:p

I have sortpack button and sortpack reload

I have the manager too

Is there anything specific I should to do make button work besides ticking the box in manager?

[Fortunis]

Have you got Turbine library too ?

[Bzufa]

Is that the Zip files that Travel Window uses? I have the /Turbine and /Turbine Plugins folders that I downloaded from here

http://content.turbine.com/sites/lotro/lua/Beta_LuaPlugins.7z

It's unzipped to the /plugins folder.

[Fortunis]

Yeh, thats the one...hmm..

Well the error you get is the same i get if SortPack Button isnt turned on. So not sure whats happening, now that you say that you have everything and you turned them on :s

The release notes say:

Version 59: Added feature request; optional Button (/plugins load SortPackButton) Must have deusdictums dragbar installed. To rescale the button unlock the UI and click and drag inside the button. With the UI locked left clicking sorts the pack and right clicking opens the option window.

I don't have that, could that be the issue?

[Fortunis]

Wait, just realised, have you got deusdictums dragbar (http://www.lotrointerface.com/downloads/info367-ClassDragBarwithExamples.html) installed? maybe thats the answer


Edit: lol, yeh thats the missing items :P

[Bzufa]

Oh heh ok I'm gonna go get that and try it out. Didn't realize I needed that... not sure what is is even XD

[Fortunis]

It has functions in it that the author of sortpack has used. Basically using it as a library to pull code from so sortpack has some extra functions available, without having to re-write the code.

It would make sense for the author of SortPack to contact deusdictum so that he could incorporate the one or two lua files into Sortpack, but maybe theres a reason this hasnt happened.

[Bzufa]

Thanks :D

Yaaaay

Can't find a give+ rep buttong here... but thanks! Will tell author he might want to put a link to the other required files in the page so other dumbies like me don't get all mixed up :p

[Fortunis]

hehe, your welcome.

You could download and use my plugin [Mouse Cursor Highlighter Advanced] (http://www.lotrointerface.com/downloads/info537-MouseCursorHighlighterAdvanced.html)and rate it :P ;)

[Bzufa]

Hah I was planning on going for that one next after I figured Sortpack out lol

Thanks again :D

[Fortunis]

Yw and thanks for planning to use MCHA :)

Love the way all this was sorted out before I even got online! Now that's community spirit!

I do intend to update the docs, and am working on some improvements to sortpack anyway. Will hopefully get it done this weekend. I do not however intend to pre-package DeusDictum's DragBar.
