IOF
IOF is a tool designed to help those of us who are riddle challenged (like me) get through the riddle doors and enjoy a very well put together instance. Because this plugin is designed to get you through the doors, I ask that you allow the rest of your fellows a chance to try to figure out the riddles before using IOF.
I want to give a shout out to the author of this website for providing the riddle answers used in IOF: http://livinglush.tripod.com/riddle2.html
And the Lorebook page: http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Inn_of_the_Forsaken
It also comes with a map of the hall of the sarcophagi, enabling those who want to quickly get through the hallway the option to do so, without having to open all of the sarcophagus.
Features- Easy to use user interface
- Command line version
- Map of the hall of sarcophagi
- Several shell commands:
- /iof help - displays a help menu for IOF
- /iof show - shows IOF Window
- /iof hide - hides IOF Window
- /iof toggle - shows IOF Window if it is hidden, hides IOF Window if it is visible. This feature is intended for use with shortcut buttons, and one can be created by typing:
/shortcut 1 /iof toggle
- /iof <riddle number> - Responds with the answer on standard
- /crypt help - displays a help menu for the Crypt Map
- /crypt show - shows the Crypt Window
- /crypt hide - hides Crypt Window
- /crypt toggle - shows Crypt Window if it is hidden, hides Crypt Window if it is visible. This feature is intended for use with shortcut buttons, and one can be created by typing:
/shortcut 1 /crypt toggle
Install
To install IOF, unzip the Almagnus1 folder to your Documents/The Lord of the Rings Online/Plugins folder.
IOF Window's User's Guide
To make IOF Window visible, type: /iof show
To reposition IOF Window, click and drag the white bar.
Once visible, select the door, and type in the riddle number. This will cause the red button to turn green. With the door targeted, click the green button, and IOF will perform the emote for you.
Crypt Map User's Guide
The Crypt Map shows a map of the hallway of sarcophagi. It is the map from the Lorebook article on Inn of the Forsaken, edited to make the image slightly smaller, and not take up as much screen space.
To make the Crypt Map visibile type:
/crypt show
Like the IOF Window, Crypt Map also can be moved by clicking and dragging the white bar.
Command-line User's Guide
Once you have the riddle, target the door, and enter the command:
/iof <riddle number> where <riddle number> is the number of the riddle
The answer will be given over standard, so you have to target the door, and type - or copy and paste - the emote.
Known Issues/Limitations- None at the time of writing.
Future Enhancements- French and German localization. I need links to the riddle solutions in French and German, and someone who can help me with the English => French/German translations for the command line. I would rather withhold the feature than use translate.google.com
Suggestions/Problems/Found a bug?
If you have found that one of the answers for the riddle is not correct, I ask that you please update the Lorebook article, in addition to letting me know.
If you have found something that can make IOF better, I'd love to hear from you. Please PM me, or leave me a message here, or on the LotRO forums (user: Almagnus1).

I really don't know what to think of this plugin.
It just seems like a 'cheat' plugin to me. I mean no disrespect to the author, I just tend to think that the challenges are put in the game for a reason. Plugins of this type go against the spirit of the game, in my opinion.
Or am I completely missing the point of this plugin? Apologies, if I am.

Yes, you're right. This is a plugin designed to bypass part of the challenge of the instance.
I do understand that this is probably going to be a controversial plugin, which is why I ask those of us that use IOF to have respect for those in the community that want to try to solve the riddles, and let them have their fun and try to solve the doors. Short of it, don't be inconsiderate.
I suck at solving riddles, and really don't want to spend a lot of time in the instance staring at the emotes available to me, and getting frustrated by the door because I can't figure out a riddle, have the riddle change on me, and the process repeat again - so I wrote this plugin, and figured that others would find use in it too, and posted it.

I have no problem with this plugin. I think if you want to bypass the riddles then download the plugin. If you don't want spoilers then don't download it.
there is nothing here that isn't (or won't be) available on any number of wiki sites. many people alt-tab out of the game during instances and check a wiki site on how to do a particular riddle or task. this just keeps you in the game instead of going to some external site.
bravo to you for coming up with this so quickly after release.
basically, if people want to "cheat" then they will... this is just one more way for people if that is what they choose to do.
I personally think riddles are lame and i'd rather spend my time fighting mobs...but i know a lot of people don't feel that way. for them, don't download the plugin.

Update:
Have the UI built (had to scratch build it), and mostly finished, and I think I ran into a piece of the API that's not functioning correctly. Soo.... I need to sit down and figure out a workaround this weekend.
If what I'm seeing is programmer error (and it could very well be), then I should have everything wrapped up by the weekend.

Although, if I'm going to be giving answers to the riddles for the German client, might as well do a full localization so everything's auf Deutsch =)
If you'd like to help with that, PM me =)

Odd Problem
First off great plugin, if it wasn't for this I would never run IoF.
I was using v1 perfectly happily, type in the riddle number, green button, open door WooHoo!
Then I install v1.1 and the green button stopped working I could still type /iof xx and get the riddle answer but the green button was a lazy IoF Hater's dream.
Any idea why this might have stopped working ?

The way the green button works is by having an image over a quick slot that has an alias (normally created by typing in /shortcut 1 /stuff ), so you could have accidentally pulled the alias from the quick slot. Should that happen, deleting and retyping the number should get the plugin to recreate the correct alias.
Let me know if that's what happened, or if it completely stopped working. I'll check it out later today, and see if there's any safety nets that either failed, or need to be put in place to prevent the plugin from breaking like I think it did.

I don't think that happened I normally have quickslots locked, and don't remember dragging anything off the button.
I've tried again and it didn't fix things.
Reverting to v1 got the green button back.

Found out what's going on...
For some reason, it's not turning on the updating for the text box, so the text box interactivity is kinda.... broken atm.....
Working on a 1.1.1 that fixes this issue.
Edit:
See what the problem is, should hope to have it working soon.

Ah, sorry I missed this one....
**Subscribes to the file comments** **earns a gold star for that one**
I'll get that worked into IOF - ideally with automated langauge switching so you don't have to mess with anything, and it does the right emotes for you.
