KragenBars by Kragenwar and Valdacil

v3.02 - 2011-01-13

Kragenwar and Valdacil have been working together for the last month and a half on the next generation

of Kragenbars. This new version 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. Please note installation instructions below for

notes on upgrading from an earlier version.

Global Features:

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

- NEW: Automatic class detection and setup

- NEW: Ability to swap skills between bars

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

- NEW: Ability to rotate bars to be horizontal or vertical

- NEW: Option to snap bars to grid for easy alignment

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

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

- FIXED: 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)

- REVISED: 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) In Lotr:O Plugin Assistant check the box next to KragenBars then select "Delete Checked"

3) Drag KragenBars.zip downloaded in step 1 onto Lotr:O Plugin Assistant to install it.

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

Option 2: Manual Install

1) Download KragenBars

2) Delete the KragenPlugs directory from %Documents$\Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins

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

directory

4) 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.

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. The

Kragenbars setup window will be displayed to further customize the available features.

Once you have configured Kragenbars with your class, you can access setup using:

/kragenbars setup

Other command:

/kragenbars refresh (forces Kragenbars to reprocess the level checking data; useful after leveling up

and training new skills at the trainer)

/kragenbars save (forces Kragenbars to save all options and window positions)

/kragenbars reset (resets all settings defaults and bar positions)

/kragenbars defaultpos (resets bar positions to default)

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.

Version Notes

- Additional bug fix for Minstrel skill Song of Restoration.  Thanks Uendilor for catching this one.

- Bug fix for Minstrel skill Song of Restoration/Chorus of Restoration.  Chorus will now replace Song at level 62.

v2.0.0

- This is purely a fix to the problems introduced by the November Lotro Patch. Expect more fixes

and features early next week.

v1.5.2

- Fixed some bugs that were causing the individual components to still display on inital load if you had

set them off in the setup window.

v1.5.1

- CHAMPION: Fixed an issue where traited versions of Flurry and Exchange of Blows were not working

as intended.

v1.5.0

- KragenBars are now movable. Just press Ctrl+/ to unlock the UI and you will find dragbars for the

individual components of KragenBars. Additionally they will hide when you use F12 to hide your UI.

- New options and bars added to all classes, read the class sections above for more details.

- BURGLAR: The Crit Chain for burgs was changed so that Burglar's Advantage/Double Edged Strike over

lap with the stage 3 responses. This was done because of the cooldowns on Exposed/Flashing Blades

I found that I missed not being able to start the chain over while waiting for cooldowns on

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

Future Plans

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

- Add Warden class

- Add class consumables w/ appropriate effects

- Update for GetClassAttributes() to better handle class specific features (stances, crit responses, etc)

- Localized versions for German and French clients

- Add ability to rename and resize bars

- Add ability to make bars show only in/out of combat

- Add option to make scroll slots to scroll when right clicked instead of on scroll
