For those who'd like a smaller window, here's a Do-It-Yourself version:

- Open "MinstrelBuffs/MinstrelBuffWindow/BuffWindow.lua" in a text editor
- Find the line "self.window:SetSize( 300, 115 );" in function BuffWindow:Start (should be at line 79 in version 1.2)
- Reolace that line with the following code

That'll set the size of the plugin display to 80% of what it is normally. You can of course alter the size to what you like instead.

Note: the drag box for placing the window in UI positioning mode (CTRL + \) will display at the wrong size, although that shouldn't be a problem.

Exactly!

The easiest solution would be to work on the .tga and remove the slots and background, leaving you with just the icons poping up and the filling of the timer

I tested it and it is working perfectly too.

How do you make it "clear"?

Planeswalker

Hi,

thanks for this wonderful plugin!

I use the clear, no fixed positioning version with a slight twist, all the buff boxes were erased. This way it works as 'only in combat'

But still i would love to have a bar for decreasing the icon size.

Eili

Thank you for this great plugins.

i adapted it graphically for my suit, and i enjoy really it.

It is now kinda transparent on my screen and i can have it all the time on.

Thank you again

Great plugin, and I very much appreciate your sharing. Someone else suggested an option for a smaller display, which I agree would be useful. If you do make further changes, adding an option to make it disappear when out of combat would be helpful too.

Again, many thanks.

yes there is some bug in the lua implementation - many plugins work around that with some kind of special handling it seems. But the issue can also arise as i play from different computers and sync my plugins between these. So if i am the only one safely ignore it ^^

And one more thing - in the german translation it seems the two Hymns got mixed up:

["Ballade der Selbstbeherrschung (Furchtresistenz)"] = 6,
["Hymne der Tüchtigkeit"] = 3

so change 3 with 6 works then.

I did not have this error, because I am playing with the english client. But it is interesting ^^
I have some players with the german client that tests my plugin and no one found this issue.

Never heard it before but I searched around the internet and found this:
http://archive.lotrocommunity.eu/lua...g-problem.html

I think it could solve this problem. I will implement and test the suggestions in the next update.

I thank you for notifying me about this.

Eleasar

Glad i could help

And again - another great update to an already great plugin!

The only problem i personally have is with the plugin data storage and the german client (wonderin that you don't have this issue ^^).

It stores the values as "1,000000" instead of "1.000000" - a quick replace in that file solves the issue for me though. But maybe its just my system setup to be english Windows with German Lotro and Germany keyboard layout - not sure.

Melida

Thanks for your comments.

Since Version 1.3 you can change the background-style in the options. The "clear"-Version is excactly what it shows.
I want to thank Eleasar for providing the background with black/white anthems. I have implemented it in version 1.3 with support of fixed places, too.

Agreed, very useful indeed! I can't imagine playing without it now

The request you have can (maybe partly) be solved very easily, by yourself. I personally didn't care much for the artwork, since I use a custom UI skin and it clashes with that one pretty strongly. So I looked into the files and found out that *included* in the download is a 'clean' version of the window, so only the effects with their backgrounds, not the parts surrounding those. I altered one line of code, to refer to that file instead of the other one and presto!

Here's what you do (make a backup BEFORE you start, as always):
1. Find the file called BuffWindow.lua (should be in .../Plugins/MinstrelBuffs/MinstrelBuffWindow/ )
2. Open it in any text editor. Find the line that reads:
If you're using an editor that displays line numbers... it's line 82.
3. Replace the entire line with this one:
4. Save the file, unload all plugins and refresh them (or reboot the client, whichever you prefer).

You now have the effect windows themselves, and nothing else. For me, that's all that I needed. If you want it to be smaller than that, you'd have to change a lot more - bit too much for me to explain here and also probably best I leave that to the author

Useful plugin, thanks!

I am wondering if you could make a more compact version of this plugin? Have an option for it maybe? It is a little large for me, maybe have the buff windows smaller?

Thanks

Hi
As I feared I made some typos, here is a corrected version

ValidBalladEffectsEn = {
["Bonus de dégâts des ballades"] = true,
["Bonus de puissance des ballades"] = true,
["Bonus de guérison de ballade (Niveau 1)"] = true
}

ValidHymnEffectsEn = {
["Hymne de sympathie"] = true,
["Hymne du Troisième Age"] = true,
["Hymne du Troisième Age (Discours de guerre)"] = true,
["Hymne du Troisième âge (Harmonie)"] = true,
["Hymne des Peuples Libres"] = true,
["Hymne de guerre"] = true,
["Hymne aux prouesses"] = true,
["Hymne de contenance"] = true
}

When I said the translation was not consistent.... Other than that everything works perfectly. Just another remark, the icon for the anthem of Compassion (Hymne de Sympathie) does not correspond, I have an old 3rd level ballad icon instead. Not that I use this anthem very much :-)
Thanks again for this wonderful plugin

Hi.
Thanks for your reply.

Could you please test this preview-version, before I upload it here at Lotrointerface?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lotr...w.zip/download

It should detect the french client automatically. I have implemented the names you post.
I guess the error at your file is that the MinstrelBuff.lua has to be UTF8 encoded without BOM. Windows Notepad is not able to do this.
