Description
Introduction

New: This patch fixes most plugins that were broken in Update 34 (15-Nov-2022).

This patch is needed for many plugins (TitanBar, SortPack, HugeBag, ...) that were last updated before Update 21.2 (10-Oct-2017).

(In that update, Standing Stone Games changed the ListBox control, in a way that is not backward-compatible.)

In general, if you're using a plugin that hasn't been updated recently, and it's trying to show a list of items, but only the first one is appearing, you probably need this.

For plugins that have been updated recently, this patch probably is not needed, but it is harmless.

Installation

This .zip file only has a single file in it, which should be placed in the following location in your Plugins folder:



If the "Turbine" and "UI" folders are not there, you should create them.

How to find your Plugins folder
Windows 10, 8.x, 7, Vista

Press Windows+R, and enter the following:
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins
Mac

Press Apple+Shift+G, and go to the following folder:
~/Library/Application Support/com.turbine.lotroclient/Plugins
Windows XP

Press Windows+R, and enter the following:
%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins
Revision History

(15-Nov-2022): I have renamed this patch (which used to be called “ListBox Patch”) to reflect that it addresses multiple backward-compatibility issues. Update 34 reintroduces the same problem that was introduced in Update 22 and subsequently fixed.

Version 1.2 (6-Feb-2018): This fixes a problem introduced in Update 22 that breaks many plugins that have Russian language support. If you're seeing Russian words where you would expect English, then you probably need this.

Version 1.1 (12-Oct-2017): This version is "quiet". It won't display the "Patching ListBox control" message every time a plugin is loaded. Players who use plugins such as PartyFrame or RaidHealz will find this necessary to prevent being constantly spammed.

Thumbs up Re: Re: installing FIXED Titanbar !

Quote:
You should put the __init__.lua file in a folder called "UI", inside the "Turbine" folder, i.e.
Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins\Turbine\UI\__init.lua__
Thank you very, very much! That did it!

/plugins refresh did not help...
What do I do wrong & how do I fix it (so Titanbar works again)?

Thanks

I was worried about this with some of "long in the tooth" plugins. Thanks for making this available for all of us plugin junkies.
