I am new to LotRO and have only played one other MMO (for about a year now), so I haven't learned it quite well enough to know exactly what I want yet.

But, this looks fantastic and is a great concept. When I'm up to speed, I plan on using it.

I guess the reason for this post is twofold;

• To tell you to keep up the good work - I don't want you giving up (not that you will) before I can fully understand and implement this system.
• Is this system good in helping a newb learn LotRO? Or, put another way, should I go ahead and use this before I get to used to the default UI?

FYI - My main IS a Lore Master

1) Yeah, the whole reason I'm doing this beta is to HELP people use TonicBars. Sadly, though I'm focusing on mostly Reactionary Classes and your class is a Debuffer. We can't watch buffs on Targeted mobs yet. One thing I'm going to try with the LM is to group some common skills into standard bars and show them, but they won't de-clutter your screen which is really the point, to only show skills when you can use them.

The LM has like one or two skills that fit this description. So, it won't really help you learn the LM, but if you used like a Champ, RuneKeeper, Hunter, Captain, Ministrel, Burg you get some good solid bars that are directly enabled during combat and triggered from other skills.

2) You can Definitely use TonicBars without knowing a LOT about the game. The point is to help you define your interface the way you want. Turbine only provides 5 bars and they are mostly a fixed size (1 row) and color. With TonicBars, you can create all different type of bars, including bars that are hidden until you mouse over them (extensions) which are great for LM Pets, Horses, Travel options, Weapons, etc. You can change background color, opacity of the bars, and more.

Hope that helps, feel free to ask questions, suggest improvements, etc. Thanks!

I can't load the plugin.

Yeah, sorry this is a Multiple language problem. If you open up the Tonic/TonicBars/Localization/English/MenuStrings.lua and copy ALL of the strings for ClassBars and EasyBarMenu to Tonic/TonicBars/Localization/<your lanugage>/MenuStrings.lua

You should be good to go, I'll test that and push up a new version for you all when I get home, but that should get you running.

I will test. Thanks, Nuclear.

Edit: I tested and Burglar behaviors don't work yet. I need use KragenBars to tier1, 2 and 3.

If you are using Non-English client, then I need Translators. Help out the cause :P I've added every translation that I have received thus far. I actually got two strings on the Burg last night that ARE included in this build, but it's just not complete yet.

English is working I tested it last night on my 65 burg.

Playing an LM by chance? (the only case I didn't test... ASSuming it would function...*slaps my hand* Bad Me!)

US / German / French?

v2.3_Beta3 should correct all these issues, let me know if it does not.

Farothhen

If someone want to add the missing strings in the german files for specific classes, add them in the files like I did or email them to me.

Wenn jemand die fehlenden Buffs hinzufügen möchte, kann er sie gerne in den deutschen Dateien einfügen und/oder mir mailen. Ich habe noch nicht von allen Klassen 65er Charaktere.

I just started using this script yesterday so everything was created new rather than being loaded from existing settings. LM on US servers. I had issues with the latest (2.3_beta3) release creating multiple extensions. Seemed like when you right clicked the quickslot to create the 2nd extension it tied it to the 1st extension that was created rather than adding a new extension. This then made the original extension tied to the first quickslot unusable.

I went back to the non-beta 2.2 release and did not have any issues creating multiple extensions.

Farothhen, Thank you for this effort, I'll take you up on that offer and make notes of that in the About Menu!! (with the proper recognition!).

Thanks for the report, I'll look into it!

Using 2.3 beta 3 Get's me the following error on my LM
English OS, English client.

Sorry, I have to ask, did you delete the entire /tonic directory before re-installing v2.3_Beta3? It appears to me like the installation might not be complete. That was the error we were getting in v2.3_Beta2 and I was pretty sure I fixed it. It could be I didn't. Anyone else still seeing the issue?
