Example whitout sending sync info

Description

This is an update to Sogbook version 0.92 Chiran + 0.01a The Brandy Badgers.

SongBook 2: Legendary Edition
Release Note V1.05

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Mechanism:
1- After clicking on sync you need to click on send sync info button, the Songbook on other alts or players, needs this info for the new features like showing the highlights and equipped instruments and other things.
2- SongBook now uses Fellowship chat or Raid or a User chat channel that you can specify, to send sync info data.
4- Click on the jumping link on top when someone syncs a song to jump to that song without changing directorie manually.
5- To make a user chat channel go to settings and type the name you want in the new text box, and then click on join channel button in SongBook window. And next time if it doesn't find the user chat channle click on Recover User Channel button.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Install:
You can have both this version and normal version of SongBook. And you dont have to uninstall the older versions.
Just copy and paste ChiranBBLE folder in your Plugins folder. Open plugin manager in game then click on refresh and load SongBookBBLE 2.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.00 (07-14-2020)

New Features:

1- Songbook checks the equipped instruments and when syncing with wrong instrument the part goes red for you and others.
2- Highlighted parts now do not get cleared when changing directory and when you come to folder after others you can see what others have synced!
3- A new text (link) that shows the path to the song that someone has synced and the name of that player. This happens when someone syncs a song that is not the one that you are selected. You can click on this link to jump to the song. This can be helpful for guiding band members and syncing faster!
4- A new window that shows the list of instruments in tracks and who is synced it with what instrument equipped. You can open this with a new button at bottom right corner of SongBook2.
5- Now you can add more instruments slots rows in settings!
6- When starting song before all tracks are ready or have correct status, you get a message window to confirm starting the song to avoid starting by mistake.
7- Highlighting the synced song in song list, so others can find the song easier.
8- A new text at top of the window that shows the name of player and the instrument that is equipped. This can be helpful for having several alts.
9- Sync button goes red when you are equipped a wrong instrument compared to the selected track. But you can still sync.
10- New highlight colors for syncing with wrong instrument, and other conditions.
11- New effects when you click on buttons.
12- A new text that shows what chat channel songbook is using for sending sync info.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bug and Problem Fixes:
1- Clearing tracks highlight colors after changing directory, and when you come to folder after others and don't see colors.
- now: This doesn't happen and SongBook2 keeps the highlights.
2- Highlighting several tracks at once after syncing only one track.
- now: This doesn't happen and SongBook2 checks the part numbers.
3- Songbook window goes outside of game display by moving or resizing it or changing game resolution.
- now: after changing game resolution and clicking on songbook it will resize to a smaller size than game. and you can't drag the resize corner out of game window.
4- Some bugs like resizing songs list very small and timer location goes inside of track list got fixed.
5- Better default settings, like bigger SongBook window size, Opacity 1 for SongBook icon, SongBook icon appears above the player portrait, Part list visible, Show timer etc.
6- Songbook highlights tracks in all songs with the same track name.
- now: This doesn't happen and SongBook2 checks the abc file name.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.01 (07-25-2020)
1- Songbook now also uses the normal sync message in standard channel too and does a background color change for song parts.
This can be helpful for when a band member is using old Songbook or chat channels are not available because of game problems.
- Note: Without sending sync info, most of features do not work.
- Yellow background for sync and purple for doubling
2- Sync Info window now shows the name of synced (without sent sync info) players in front of part names in yellow color.
3- Background highlight for the blue sync link.
4- lower opacity for background of part list in Sync Info window.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.05 ( -2020)
1- Updates to jumping link:
- If you have several copies of a song, the Songbook now finds all of them and shows them in a new window when you click on the link, thrn you can sellect one of them to jump to it.
- This also happens when only a part is synced and no sync info is recieved. This time links are shown in yellow. There might be not the same songs (copies) but different versions of the song with different number of parts if you have. (If the names in sync message are the same)
2- New timer window: a little new window that looks like a scroll and shows the timer of the song that is playing and its name.
3- New settings: Settings window has changed in shape and it has the option to manually choose the chat channle for sending sync info.
- You can select either Raid or Fellowship channel and if none of them is selected, Songbook works like normal and automatically. (If you have set a User channel it will select it)
4- Fixed a bug that songs in song list were not getting highlighted after syncs.
5- Search field background color has changed to have more contrast.
6- Fixed the position of empty song library error.
7- Help Window and its button in settings.

Mangled directory bug

I found a minor bug and made a fix for it, could you update the plugin with a fix if you get a chance Almiyan?

How to reproduce:

Navigate toon1 and toon2 to the same folder. Toon1 syncs a song. Toon2 clicks the broadcasted song link. Toon1 syncs a different song. Toon2 clicks the broadcasted song link again. When toon2 then clicks the back (..) button, the directory will be mangled. E.g. if toon1 and toon2 are in folder /MyBestSongs/, the folder after clicking ".." will be /MyBestSongs//MyBestSongs/, which doesn't exist so no tracks show up.

My fix is to replace line 2038 in SongbookWindow.lua in SongbookWindow:SelectDir

Code:

else
	selectedDir = Directory;
	dirPath[#dirPath+1] = Directory;
end

with:

Code:

else
	selectedDir = Directory;
	dirPath = {}
	dirPath[1] = "/"
	for token in string.gmatch(Directory, "([^/]+)") do
		dirPath[#dirPath+1] = token .. "/"
	end
end

Reconstruct the directory table with each folder in the broadcasted path instead of appending the full path onto the directory table which is supposed to be split by folder.

Hello. What could be the reason that synchronization and timer are not working for me? I don't have an English version, but all chat commands are in English.

Re: Songbook, Songbook2, SongbookBB

Hello everyone thanks for your comments and I am sorry I reply so late.

About your question Fatefoot

Quote:

is Songbook2 the same as SongbookBB? If so, does the version of 2 match the version of BB? If not, do they clash if both installed by mistake?

I have used SongbookBB and edited it and then added things and fixed bugs.
So in the other word, Songbook2 is updated from SongbookBB.
They are not the same, Songbook2 is the newer one that I have made.
But you can install and use both of them at the same time.

Thanks Zyriel for your comment and finding the bug, I will check it and update later.

Settings bugs

Greetings,

After setting up this version of Songbook (I have tried several), I noticed that the preferred chat selection is not being saved correctly. For example, I entered a User Chat Name to create a custom channel for sync information. I thought better of that and decided to just go with whatever channel Songbook defaulted to, so I removed the User Chat name and saved the settings. I unloaded and reloaded the plugin and it still setup the custom chat channel. I then decided to manually set it to use the raid channel, but now I'm getting the message that Songbook is using User Chat channel 1, rather than the Raid channel.

Also, now when I load in a character for the first time, I get this error...

...e\Plugins\ChiranBBLE\SongbookBBLE\SongbookWindo w.lua:79: attempt to index global 'songbookWindow' (a nil value)

I assume deleting the user preferences file will possibly act as a workaround for now, but I wanted to report this since this version of Songbook is allowing me to skip using Bandaide and I'd love to have this working properly so I can change the settings as necessary.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Songbook, Songbook2, SongbookBB

Almiyan thanks for producing this. I have one problem. This seems to be a mix of Chiran's Songbook and The Badger Chapter's SongbookBB. However it is not easy to see how this compares to the SongbookBB download at https://www.linawillow.org/home/plugins-2/songbook/ which does not appear to be supported by LOTROInterface.

is Songbook2 the same as SongbookBB? If so, does the version of 2 match the version of BB? If not, do they clash if both installed by mistake?

I prefer using LOTROInterface supported plugins because the Compendium will keep them up to date whereas plugins from other sites have to be checked manually. Any way to get BB combined on LOTROInterface as you seem to be in touch with The Badger Chapter?

Thanks for your work.

It is already handled by the Compendium!

I just downloaded this from LOTROInterface, opened Compendium and it shows as being available for installation by Compendium. So thanks Almiyan - apparently you have included what the Compendium needs in order to identify it.

For those not finding it in Compendium, here's what I do to make it simple - for me anyway

1. In the Compendium, open the Configuration tab. There you can set file locations.

2. I made a new folder for Downloads and changed that setting to find that folder or you can leave it at the default.

3. When you have downloaded any plugin zip file, put it in that folder. It should then show up in the "Add New Plugins" tab in Compendium. (Note the "Hide Installed" checkbox at the top.)

4. To make it even easier, if you have a login at LOTROInterface, log in, add whatever you like to your favorites list and then open http://api.lotrointerface.com/fav/YOURUSERNAME.xml This lists all your favorites. If you put that URL in the Config tab in Compendium it will show you those favorites which you have downloaded and these (and only these) will show on the Add New Plugins tab.

Hope that helps!

Hello!
Thanks for using my version.
I am not sure how I can add this to Compendium. Maybe the author of Compendium should do that.

I have never used it.
Installing is only a copy paste in your Plugins folder, so you can do that for now.
Extract the zip file, there is ChiranBBLE inside it then copy and paste ChiranBBLE folder in your Plugins folder.
Plugins folder should be inside Lord Of the Rings folder inside Documents in Windows.
If there is no Plugins folder there, make a new folder and name it Plugins.

Thank you!
