KragenBars by Kragenwar and Valdacil

v5.05 - 2011-10-02

Kragenbars features all classes (except Warden, expected to be added in a later version) with all skills

organized onto multiple bars and offering contextual feedback as appropriate. Skills your character is too

low to use will be hidden.

Global Features:

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

- KragenBars button for each class to allow easy access to all KragenBars features

- Ability to resize, delete, and create new KragenBars (see notes below)

- Ability to customize combat visibility for each bar (Always, In-Combat Only, Out-Combat Only)

- Set "Snap to Grid" size to get bars lined up 'just where you want them'

- BETA: Add skills/items to KragenBars that weren't previously coded for KragenBars

- Automatic class detection and setup

- Ability to swap skills between bars

- Ability to lock swappable skill bars to prevent accidental skill swapping

- Ability to rotate bars to be horizontal or vertical

- Option to snap bars to grid for easy alignment

- Completely revised setup screen better details the options and allows for future additions

- Skills respond to combat states (ie. skills not usable in combat hide when combat starts)

- Fully compatible with Nov Update and other plugins by changing coding to AddCallback vice

attaching directly to the player. (Now fully compatible with BuffBars and other plugins)

- Reorganized directory structure to reduce dependencies on external libraries (please see

upgrade instructions below)

Certain plugins which directly overwrite player functions like InCombatChanged, StanceChanged, EffectAdded

and EffectRemoved may break KragenBars functionality if loaded after KragenBars. If things do not seem to

be working correctly then ensure that you are loading KragenBars last as KragenBars does not overwrite these

functions.

Installation

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

Due to significant reorganization within the KragenPlugs directory, if upgrading from version 2.0 and below

it is recommended that you delete your old KragenPlugs folder before installing the new version.  If you are

a KragenSlots user you can keep the directories KragenSlots, DUInterface and the file KragenSlots.plugin

Option 1: Use Lotr:O Plugin Assistant by Ify

1) Download KragenBars

2) Drag KragenBars.zip downloaded in step 1 onto Lotr:O Plugin Assistant.  Accept the prompt to upgrade.

3) Launch from within game as normal (via manager or via /plugins load Kragenbars)

Option 2: Manual Install

1) Download KragenBars

2) Extract KragenBars.zip downloaded in step 1 to your %Documents%\Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins

directory and overwrite all files when prompted

3) Launch from within game as normal (via manager or via /plugins load Kragenbars)

Note

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

Due to significant changes in the PluginData file, anyone upgrading from a version of KragenBars prior to

version 3.00 will have their KragenBar settings reset to KragenBars defaults on first load of versions higher

than 3.00.

Note on KragenBars New/Remove Bar Feature

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

In order for certain features to work properly, some bars have been made non-editable/non-removable (though

you can still make them inactive if you don't want to see them).  Examples of this are the Burglar's Crit Chain

and the Guardian Block/Parry Chain bars.  Any skills located on these bars cannot be swapped or placed on

other bars (even if you deactivate the original bar).

Note on Adding Skills to New Bars

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

You may now drag skills from your Turbine Skills Panel to KragenBars and the effects coding will follow the

skill.  Skills placed on non-KragenBars will not have any KragenBars effects however.  If you drag a skill that

is contained within a multislot (ie. a stance or a Minstrel Tale), the entire multislot will be moved to the

new location.  Dragging any skill from the Skills Panel to a KragenBar will remove that skill from whatever

bar it was previously located (even if that bar is still visible).  You may also drag quickslots from the

KragenBars quickslot panel in the same manner.  As mentioned above, skills located on hard coded KragenBars

cannot be dragged to customized KragenBars.

Note on BETA: Adding non-coded skills/items to KragenBars

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

V4.00 brings a BETA feature we are testing out that allows the ability to drag skills/items that weren't

originally coded for KragenBars.  An example of this would be adding the Direct Soldier skill to a KragenBar

or add potions from your inventory to KragenBars.  Please note that this is a Beta feature and you may

encounter unforeseen problems.  Please submit feedback and bug reports and we will do our

best to refine this feature.

Usage

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

The first time Kragenbars is loaded (either via an in-game plugin manager or by executing the command:

"/plugins load Kragenbars") your class will be automatically detected and default options selected.

Once you have configured Kragenbars with your class, you can access setup by clicking on the KB icon (which

defaults to the top lefthand corner of the screen).

Rt. clicking on the KB button brings up a list of commands which can be executed for KragenBars (such as

Refresh Level).  You can also change traits, features, and defaults via the rt. click menu.

Known Issues

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

-The API does not allow us to determine whether the client is in layout mode (CTRL + \) or not. Loading

     KragenBars while in layout mode will result in drag bars that display/hide when they should be doing

     the opposite. If this happens just unload and reload the plugin with layout mode turned off.

-If you place a KragenBar on top of the main Turbine bar (the one in the bottom center of the screen with

     the menu, panel buttons, and first quickbar) then enter layout mode (Ctrl + \), the KragenBars icons

     may appear behind the main Turbine bar making them inaccessible.  If you unload and reload the KragenBars

     should appear in front of the main Turbine bar again.

-Burglar: The second tier of the crit chain will show after the first tier fades even if you do not use

     Burglar's Advantage.  This is due to there not being a buff effect for tier 2 and the Burglar

     ClassAttributes do not function properly for Burglar.  This will be fixed once Turbine fixes this part

     of the API.

-KragenBars relies on effect names to change the state of your UI.  Because of this all features may not

     function properly on German and French clients.  We are in the midst of working on this, if you would

     like to help with effect name translation please PM KragenWar.

    - Minstrel: French translation needed.  Some German translations needed.

    - Loremaster: French and German translation needed.

    - Hunter: French and German translation needed.

    - Runekeeper: French and German translations needed.

    - Burglar: French and German(partial) translation needed

    - Captain: German(partial) and French(partial) translation needed

    - Guardian: French(partial) and German(partial) translation needed

stage 3. Also feint attack will no longer display when you are in Mischief.
