I think the Plugin wont work in German...is it right?

I've added the 5 new Task Boards in West Gondor. Only two of the 6 new tasks are for new trophy items. There is also a new rep. group for these tasks.

I'm guessing that the minimum level for the new tasks is 91, but I didn't want to delay the release until I could verify the level (my level 89 couldn't see them). If someone finds that the minimum level is different, please let me know.

Vinny

I've found the 5 new Task Boards in the new West Gondor region and have added them to the locations table, but I'm still working on finding the item IDs for the new trophy items. I hope to have it ready to release soon.

[Is your second client on a different computer? There error indicates that the Tasks_Settings.plugindata is corrupted so you should delete it and let DT create a new one. Unfortunately, this will require reentering the player rep info if you can't copy it from another computer.

I just checked and the ReadMe file is indeed missing from the .zip so I must have had the file open in the editor when I created the .zip file. I'll be sure to fix this on the next update.]

Hmmm... I reloaded everything after removing everything. I think the problem is the name of the second client on the account. It is different from the account name. Anyway, I figured out a work around as I dual box all the time so I am just using the 'trailer' character as my DT monitor.

I have two clients on one account and I have just discovered that the second client will not load daily tasks. I get two errors when I attempt /plugins load dailytasks: 1; "/AllCharacters/DailyTasks_Settings.plugindata:1: unexpected symbol" and 2; "...he Rings Online\Plugins\Vinny\DailyTasks\DT_Main.lua:25: Unable to parse file!". Has anyone else had this problem?

A second question: I had to transfer the read.txt file from an older version of DailyTasks as the file was not included in version 3.0.

Ok, here's the big reputation update. I think I've found all the significant defects, but there's probably some combination of selections that I missed testing now that there are so many variations available. If you find anything that doesn't seem to work right, please let me know.

There are many changes, but most of them only pertain to reputation. The non-rep changes include changing some of the display colors to improve readability and making error messages more prominent. Another change is that selecting an alternate character name now does more than just change the level setting; it also makes the task listing from that character's perspective so the selected name won't appear on the alt list for a task, but the current character will.

Of course, the big change is to reputation. I've replaced the "Rep use" window with a "Kindred Rep" window where checking the box now indicates that you have kindred reputation with that group. If you had set any of these in a previous version, they will automatically be converted to the new system.

When using the R-O check box, it now completely hides tasks that don't produce rep increases for the selected character. The alt name list for tasks now properly lists only those alts that will also get a rep increase. (Note that you have to visit all your alts with the new version of DT and set kindred rep for this to work.)

The most noticeable change is the addition of a Reputation window. The easiest way to open this is to click the "Rep window" button in the main DT window. From there you can select any of the reputation groups and when you click the "List rep locations" button, all the task boards that have tasks for that rep group will be listed.

The "List rep items" button will display the trophies that can used to increase reputation for the selected group. The Filter selection from the DT window will also be applied. If R-O is checked, then only the corresponding items in your inventory will be listed. This is particularly handy when you are trying to increase reputation with a specific group.

The "List rep code" button was just moved from the main window and hasn't changed in function. The "Kindred rep" button is just a convenient way to open the "Kindred rep" window.

Lastly, I've revised the ReadMe file to reflect all the changes. Be sure to read this to get the specifics on how everything works.

Note: The "DailyTasks_Rep.plugindata" files that used to store rep data on a per-character basis are now obsolete and can be deleted after the information has been converted to the new format. If you don't know where to find them, don't worry, it only uses up 1k of disk space per character.

Now that there is no level cap on tasks, the rep contribution is a lot more significant. I'm working on a new version of DT that adds a reputation window where you can select task items by rep contribution and I'm also improving the rep filtering options.

I've got the basic additions working, but I'm still tweaking the code so that option combinations display better. I hope to have it ready soon.

After further investigation of the tasks levels at Gloin's Camp, it turns out that all the tasks are available at level 38 and none are at 37. This is also true for the other task boards in Misty Mountains, so this update reflects that. The listed quest levels are from 37 to 45, but they all can be completed at 38 and not 37.

I've filed a bug report about the level 37 quests not being available at 37.

Vinny

Does your level 37 character show any tasks at all for Gloin's Camp? I checked it with a level 38 and was surprised that all the tasks were shown on the board (even level 40s).

As Toughened Carapace is listed as a level 37 quest for both task boards, if you can't access it at level 37, then it is a Lotro bug and should be reported.

Thanks for keeping this updated. It's the single most useful plugin for LotRO I think!

I have to update to 2.12.1 still, but I could not pick up "toughened carapace" in either Gloin's Camp or High Crag at level 37. It's listed as available there for that level in 2.12.
If you already changed that in the latest update, all the better.

I decided to take the time today to check all the ND boards in detail and make the needed changes to the board data. Trestlebridge and Amon Raith both had major changes including moving the board location. In both cases several task items were removed and "Blackened Feather" is no longer used anywhere.

I did a few spot checks in other zones, but didn't find any other changes. If I missed any please let me know.

Vinny

I hadn't got to checking ND tasks in detail, so thanks for the heads-up. I'll be doing a revision to fix this, but it will be next week or so.

Yes, they had some significant changes in task items as well as a new board in MM.

Hi Vinny. Great to see that you keep this going. An invaluable little tool.

But it seems they have made some changes to the task boards in North downs, I guess it came along with the revamp of that place.
All the tasks there now have reputation bonus also. I checked them all, Trestlebridge belongs to Men of Bree while Amon Raith and Meluinen belongs to Rangers of Esteldin.

Was it Trollshaws and Misty mountains that also got a revamp? Haven't checked there but from memory all taskboards there already belonged to some faction.

Awesome! Thank You for keeping the addons updated.
