The Lua support from Turbine is an "unsupported" situation. Also known as, "Oh, and by the way..."

The Developer Narrel posts updates to both the skinning packs and the Lua API, "when he has time."

While the Skinning Packs were updated for Update 6, the API file was not.

So, the most current API documentation is Narrel's post here:

http://www.lotrointerface.com/downlo...mentation.html

And, yes, it was posted 10-19-2011.

We are extremely fortunate the Narrel manages to squeeze as much updating into any given release as he does -- since that's not his main job at Turbine.

One hoped that with the "publicizing" of the interface by including the Plugin Manager on the character generation page, we would see significantly more visible support from Turbine -- but, at least so far, that has not been the case.

The issue is similar with data.lotor.com support.

What support we have is great. What we want is more!

Sigh.

BTW: The above comments are intended as thank-yous to those Developers who do manage to "find the time" to enhance both features.
