Re: Copy/paste from Fishing Log on change of region message?

Birding Log was developed by changing Fishing Log, so there are a lot of similarities. However, the "Selected" message comes from a common menu selection method used by most of my plugins. It uses the "print" method defined in the main routine, but it looks like it often inherits one with the wrong prefix (usually the first one loaded). If Birding Log is the first plugin loaded, the "Selected" message will have the "BL:" prefix.

This defect affects my other plugins also and I haven't figured out why it happens, so I haven't fixed it yet. At least it is just a cosmetic defect.

Copy/paste from Fishing Log on change of region message?

When you select a region from the dropdown the message reporting the change is prefixed with "FL:" rather than "BL:".

Also on a separate note, Birding Log's use of /bl interferes with BrokenLegs' usage of /bl

Re: Won't load.

Update: It now works. Thanks


Hi

The bird Log does not load. I get the following error:

...he Rings Online\Plugins\Vinny\BirdingLog\BL_Main.lua:42: attempt to get length of a nil value

I have updated to 0.9.2 via plugin compendium.

Thanks.

Re: Won't load.

Thanks for the report. After some checking, it turns out that when you load it a second time and there was no zone data from the first time, it will find a null table which causes that error.

I've added a check in the code for that condition.

Exclamation Version 0.9.2

I fixed a bug in the sighting code. (I forgot to delete a line that referred to a variable that is no longer used which caused a nil value error.)

Exclamation Version 0.9.1

I forgot to update the documentation before posting, so this version only updates the help info and the ReadMe file.

Exclamation Version 0.9

After reading the discussions about Birding, it looks like (unlike fishing) it doesn't matter where you are in a zone to see all the birds there.

So I've removed the multiple location tracking within zones and consolidated existing records into a zone record. Buttons have been renamed to reflect this change. I've also added a zone menu so you can select a zone to view its details without actually being in that zone.

Exclamation Version 0.8

This version fixes some zone location typos and adds a new command for updating your personal sighting count. The <name> must be an exact match for the bird's name. Zone counts aren't changed because some birds can be seen in more than one zone and can be seen by your alternate characters.

Thumbs up Re: Missed a bird that I had already caught before installation

Good catch. I made a typo when entering the zones. I double-checked all the other birds and found a couple more. I also like your suggestion about revising the counts for the birds seen. I'll add that to the next update with the zone fixes.
