V 1.1
Detecting client-language automatically.
Safe callback register

Remarks:
When using a fixed anthem theme, why do the anthems stay marked until a coda was played?
In current versions of lotro, when you played an anthem, it adds a bonus to your coda. The description says, that only happens when the anthem is active. That is currenly not true. It does not matter when the anthem was played, even if you are out of combat between the played anthem and the coda. So I have added a feature to track the anthem bonus effects for the coda.
Known bugs in this feature:
Because I cannot really figure out that a coda was played, I only check if you are in combat while all ballads are resetting. I guess that the coda is played then. If you play a coda out of combat (in no stance or in harmony), then the logic does not work correctly.
The anthem "Anthem of the Third Age (Harmony)" does not reset, when playing a coda. So it stays marked, even if it has no bonus effect for the coda anymore.

A nice plugin and after some minutes of playing my minstrel, I started loving it. Anyway, I have three feature requests:

1. When comming out of combat it would be nice to have a 9 seconds count down for the active balads.

2. A separat resize option for balads, anthems and the whole window

3. An option to disable/alter the decoration

regards

Wirklich super gemacht!

Also thought about some plugin like this.

I would also love to have that 9 second cooldown shown somewhere.

@ptweety - not sure but maybe to hide the background you can go to the resources dictionary and replace the file "minstrel_buffbar_background.tga" with a fully transparent version of it.

The one feature i would love to have is to have the possibility for a fixed position of the anthems - so anthem of war is always first place, the free peoples always second etc. This would allow me to use KragenSlots below the right place and put "Buffbook > Anthem of War > Healbook" and the same for the others (with buffbook or not).

and one thing: the file "MinstrelBuffs.plugin" should be one folder deeper.

It isn't showing the active buffs/anthems unless I type in /mb on. Then it updates and shows what's active but I have to manually update it. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Thank you for your feedback. (@Eleasar Danke ^^)

Interesting, that you have the same ideas as I had :-)
I thought about a 9 seconds cd, smaller interface and fixed places for anthems.

@jasonspeed /mb on and off should only show / hide the whole window. If you are playing with a german client, you have to change the language with /mb de first. It will refresh the next time a buff changes.

Client detection

I haven't actually looked at your plugin to see why you require the user to manually indicate the German client, but thought you might be interested in how to programatically detect the client language, as discussed on the Turbine forum thread: http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.p...uage-Detection

Code:
   _locale = "en";
    if Turbine.Shell.IsCommand("hilfe") then
        _locale = "de";
    elseif Turbine.Shell.IsCommand("aide") then
        _locale = "fr";
    end

Thanks for the reply. I'm using the NA client. I tried doing /mb en just to see if it worked but it still didn't refresh the active buffs/anthems. The panel remains blank. I installed the minstrel buffs folder to my plugins directory and the MinstrelBuffs.plugin file to the minstrel buffs folder. So within the plugins directory I have minstrelbuffs folder and within that I have minstrelbuffwindow folder and minstrelbuffs.plugin file.

Edit. Found the issue I think. I tried turning off other plugins I had running incase they were causing a conflict. After I turned off BuffBars, MinstrelBuffs started working normally. Any idea why this would happen?

If the author isn't registering event handlers as a table entry but rather assigns their function directly to the event then each plugin overwrites previous plugin event handlers. There is a good discussion on the Turbine forums about how to register event handlers so that they don't clobber each other:

Garan I thank you much for your suggestions.
I have implemented the autodetection of the language and the safe event-handling.
On my client it now works with buffbars loaded at the same time.

Also FYI, Per a Turbine Dev on the forums the 9 sec CD isn't always the case. The way Ballad CDs work is they will expire within 9 secs of leaving combat, but it could be sooner. The game system checks every few seconds to see if you're in combat or not and if you aren't it removes the buffs. So if you just happen to leave combat and the game system checks for combat status and finds you out of combat it removes the buff regardless of whether its been 2 seconds or 9.

Also would there be a way to make an option to only have the Ballad Monitoring? My wife would like to have only have ballads monitored, when she is in Watcher of Resolve or Warriors Skald Trait sets.

not working

I am afraid this one is not working for me, or is it that it is too complicated for my elvish brain... I am using the french client, I load it with /plugins charger Minstrelbuff
(charger=load on the french client) and the nice panel appears, then I get into combat, launch my ballads ans anthems, but nothing happens, did I miss something? Do I have to tell mb what buff I want him to display?
I have tried all the commands, /mb list gives indeed a list of my current buffs, /mb fr gives an error message.
I am not using any other plugin.
I am so sad, this plugin seemed so wonderful *sobs
If you have an idea...

@Daeborthil:
Right now it only supports french and german client. Maybe you can help out with the correct translations for these values in frensh:

ValidBalladEffectsEn = {
["Ballad Damage Bonus"] = true,
["Ballad Power Bonus"] = true,
["Ballad Healing Bonus"] = true
}

ValidHymnEffectsEn = {
["Anthem of Compassion"] = true,
["Anthem of the Third Age"] = true,
["Anthem of the Third Age (War-speech)"] = true,
["Anthem of the Third Age (Harmony)"] = true,
["Anthem of the Free People"] = true,
["Anthem of War"] = true,
["Anthem of Prowess"] = true,
["Anthem of Composure"] = true
}

Should be exactly like it is shown under your portrait - with all these é, ê and other special characters.

Hi Daeborthil.

This is because i did not translated it to the french client.
I have to check the effect-names and I got them from the german and english client.
The file MinstrelEffects.lua contains all english and german effect names. If you replace the english names of the effects with the french one, it should work (the default-language is english). It would be nice, if you could send me the contents of the file after this, so I can implement them for all.
The active effect-names you can get with /mb list.
