First, a question: Do I have to have the actual demo plugins installed for it to work with the other plugins (like Jackdaw's Sortpack), or can I remove the demos, and just keep the resources and UI folders?
Secondly, I was experiencing a problem with one of the plugins that uses the dragbar. I am cross-posting my fix in case someone comes here trying to figure out what is wrong with their install.
--------
I had tried re-installing [this dragbar plugin] half a dozen times, but was having some trouble with the Turbine stuff because I can't open 7Z archives, because my free trial of winzip ran out. (grrr for using a specialty archive).
Since I couldn't do a clean reinstall of those (which probably would not have worked anyway), I had to actually open the dragbar .plugin files and .lua files and check the lines with the errors I saw in chat, to see what was wrong.
Basically, it was a problem of where the stuff got installed.
My folders looked like
Quote:
Docs / LOTRO / Plugins / BetaLuaPlugins / TurbinePlugins
Docs / LOTRO / Plugins / BetaLuaPlugins / Turbine / UI
Docs / LOTRO / Plugins / BetaLuaPlugins / Turbine / Debug
Docs / LOTRO / Plugins / BetaLuaPlugins / Turbine / Animation
Docs / LOTRO / Plugins / BetaLuaPlugins / Turbine / Testing
and then
Docs / LOTRO / Plugins / Deusdictum / Plugins
Docs / LOTRO / Plugins / Deusdictum / Resources
Docs / LOTRO / Plugins / Deusdictum / UI
and then
Docs / LOTRO / Plugins / Turbine / Resources

All I had to do to make it work was move the
Docs / LOTRO / Plugins / BetaLuaPlugins / Turbine / folder contents to
Docs / LOTRO / Plugins / Turbine /
Now my plugin works!
So, if anyone else is getting errors like
Quote:
...s Online\Plugins\Deusdictum\UI\DeltaButtonWindow.lua :8: attempt to call global 'class' (a nil value)

...ings Online\Plugins\JackdawPlugins\SortPack\Load.lua:5: Failed to import package "Deusdictum.UI.Dragbar".

that's how I fixed it.
