This file is a patch for the plugin BuffBars by Pengoros. BuffBars must be installed before this patch. There are two other patches for BuffBars and it is highly recommended that those patches get applied as well:
BuffBars MaJ/Update 2017 by Galphoglas
BuffBars MaJ/Update 2017 patch fixes by b414213562

LOTRO update 39.1.2 changed the category type for the buff Motivated which is applied by both the Captain skill Motivating Speech/Improved Motivating Speech and the Mariner skill Motivating Song. This change causes BuffBars to fail to load if the buff is active while the character is logged in or when the BuffBars plugin is loaded; and causes BuffBars to throw an error message and fail to display the Motivated buff if the buff is applied at some point after character login or plugin load.

The file included in this download repairs this problem.

This file is a replacement EffectItem.lua file. The easiest way to apply this patch is to download it, un-zip it, then drop the replacement EffectItem.lua file into your *\My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins\PengorosPlugins\BuffBars folder.

All credit goes to SSG LOTRO forum user Alaron who came up with the workaround for this problem. You can read his post on SSG's LOTRO forums here for details.
