Is it possible that running the Hi-Def version would be the problem?

no, im running the high definition version and i have about 5-6 addons running when playing. a dev just uploaded a program which might help called lotro mod manager, what addons in particular are you trying to run?

Within your My Documents/The Lord of the Rings Online/Plugins folder, you should find folders with the Author's names, and within those folders should be one or more <plugin name>.plugin files. So for instance, using Palantir as an example, your folders should look like this

Then to load palantir, you would load up the game, enter Middle-earth, and type the following into the chat window:

It should load at this point. If it doesn't, please copy/paste any errors you see.

I have the folder arranged exactly like u said. /plugins refresh tells me that no plugins are available

type /plugins load <plugin name> copy/paste what you get

And you're sure that's the same LotRO folder where your screenshots are saved?

This is where i plant my hand on my forehead :o

get it to work?

Yeah thanx for all the trouble

Anytime :)

Glad to see you got it figured out!
