Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu!
About
Baruk is a plugin for LotRO that provides additional quickslot bars for skills etc. The orientation, scale, and number of slots of bars can be configured, additionally, bars can be made collapsible in different modes.
It was designed as a minimalist no-nonsense, no-flourish plugin, both as a learning project (it was the author's first plugin, though kept unfinished for a while) and to suit the author's own needs (more room for mounts, pets, travel skills and stances without polluting the display).
Installation
Copy the "Equendil" folder from the zip file to your "My Documents/The Lord of the Rings Online/Plugins" folder (if you never installed a plugin before, you might have to create that "Plugins" folder).
If you are using one or several other plugins of the author ( Bootstrap, LIP), overwriting files *should* be safe. In doubt or if you encounter problems, install the latest versions of those plugins, older plugins first (by last update).
Execute "/plugins refresh" if you install the plugin for the first time while the game is running.
Execute "/plugins unload" if you were running any of the author's plugins (this will unload *all* plugins). This might not be necessary, but this is the safe way.
Usage
"/plugins load baruk" will launch Baruk.
"/baruk" or "/baruk toggle" will toggle the setup window.
"/baruk show" will show the setup window.
"/baruk hide" will hide the setup window.
"/baruk add" will create a new custom bar (which you can also do from the setup window).
Setup
The setup window will let you create, name, orientate, resize (number of slots), rescale and lock bars. You can also set their 'mode' there: - 'Normal': Plain bar similar to Turbine's native quickslot bars.
- 'Collapsible': Adds a special slot (highlighted), that can be clicked to expand or collapse quickslots. You can drag & drop a skill or item to that slot to be used as an icon.
- 'Selection': Adds a special slot (highlighted) that 'remembers' the last shortcut (skill, item, alias ...) used within the bar. Right clicking that slot will expand or collapse the bar. Left clicking that slot will activate it as normal. Using a slot within the bar will automatically collapse the bar (and clone the slot to the special slot for future use).
- 'Mouse over'. Similar to collapsible but automatically expands/collapses on mouse-over.
Custom bars are forcibly expanded and unlocked while the setup window is open.
Bars can be repositioned as normal using "CTRL + \" (or equivalent on your setup). The mouse wheel can be used to scale bars in that mode also.
The author finds 'collapsible' bars best for skills used infrequently such as travel destinations, and 'selection' bars for mutually exclusive skills such as
stances, pets or mounts (or at least a fraction of the author's favourite mounts).
Known Issues & limitations- Due to several "features" in Turbine's API, moving skills on a bar in 'mouse over' mode is cumbersome. Open the setup window to keep those expanded.
- There is currently no way to attach keybinds to custom bars due to limitations in Turbine's API.
Thanks to Egowelt for beta testing.
Reporting issues, contributing.
Bugs and other issues can be reported, or feature requests made: - On this thread
- In private messages through this site
- By contacting Equanor on the Snowbourn server, either through mail or private message if logged on..
Please note that the author intends to keep this plugin simple and will not implement conditions ("only show slot/bar X if player has effect Y"), or add preset bars (travel skills and the like) without a *very* compelling rationale.
Plans for the Future
- Nothing specific at the moment.
Change Log
v1.1 - 2011 August 8 - Added option to lock bars (slots can't be cleared or replaced through a user action). v1.0 - Intiial release

Great plugin!
It's hard to express just how happy I am to be able to use this plugin! I won't go into too much detail, but let's just say that it frees me from regular annoyances from using a certain other plugin. From what I've seen so far, Baruk is clean, easy to use and solid. Not that I would expect anything less, of course
Job well done, mate!

A ripoff?
Just woundering, because of the first impression, this looks like a TonicBars ripoff..?
They are too similar for it to be a coincident imo.

I don't see the similarities tbh, other than the fact that it's a quickslot bar plugin, of which there are more than just the one you mentioned, and that it provides expanding bars (similar, but very different to TB's expanding slots).
This one works differently, looks different, feels different... I think the term "ripoff" just does not apply here.
And besides - no offense to NuclearTonic, cause I'm sure he puts in a lot of hours (as much as he can, I assume), but TB is riddled with bugs. This one just isn't.

Version 1.1 is up.
Bars can now be locked (individually). Empty slots in locked bars will not show unless the setup window is opened.

Great Job
Thank you for this Addon. I like this because it gives bars that can be used just in same way as Autobar on WOW. It was the best Bar to place things in that are used just sometimes and which i hated to have it on the normal bars. Great Job

Bug with Baruk
Hi !
First of all, please excuse the poor quality of my English : I'm a French Canadian of the Province of Quebec and I don't have many occasions to use Shakespeare's language...
I want to thank you for your addon. I discovered it yesterday and it is very useful...
Unfortunately, I have a bug with it... Every time I quit the game, all the shortcuts I placed disappear. It's like the addon didn't saved my settings.
All the bars I put are there, but without shortcut. Do you have any idea about this problem ? Maybe the bug is in front of the screen !
Thanks !

Bonjour,
Les raccourcis sont normalement sauvegardés automatiquement. J'imagine que le problème provient de l'utilisation d'une version Française du jeu, qui ne gère pas correctement l'écriture de fichiers sur les versions non Anglaises, encore que j'ai programmé Baruk de manière à ce que ça marche... en théorie.
Pourrais tu m'envoyer le contenu du fichier suivant (c'est du texte) en message privé ?
"Mes Documents\Le Seigneur des Anneaux en Ligne\Plugin Data\<nom du compte>\<nom du serveur>\<nom du perso>\EQ_QuickBars.plugindata"
Y a t'il un quelconque message d'erreur au démarrage du plugin ?

I'm aware of issues with disappearing icons from custom bars when loaded from Turbine's plugin manager.

Hi,
First I must say that I´m german. So please excuse my english.
I used baruk to create a bar for emotes.
When I create it all works fine, but after a relog
the german letters like ü,ä,ö are messed up and I can´t use the shortcuts anymore.
Is there a way to fix this?

Disappearing icons ...
UPDATE
-------
I found a work-around now. Loading via Bootstrap does it! Bootstrap must be loaded manually, not via Turbine's manager. Works for me now! I'm happy.
----
Baruk is exactly what I was looking for! Great plugin!
Unfortunately I can't find a work-around for the Turbine-Manager bug. I tried to load & unload via "/plugins", but my hunter's travel skills keep disappearing (while the toolbar with my crafting tools works fine).
Could it be a problem with my German version? I applied the fix for foreign clients - still, no joy.
Any ideas what else I could try? You're not working on a patch by any chance? (~hopeful)

There's a "bug" with Turbine's Plugin Manager that launches plugins before character data is fully available, causing items in quickslots to show empty and map skills to not show the correct icon.
Work-around is to not use Turbine's Manager, although I might be able to integrate a work-around within Baruk itself in a future version.
Sayaya: Some non english characters are not saved correctly by Turbine's plugin framework, I'll try to add a work-around for that one too.
