Online addon check failure

[aardvark]

Alright, I've updated the file entry to see if that lets it work. You don't need to download it again, just try it. Make sure to try it with a new character if your saved ones don't work, too. If it STILL doesn't work, I'll go nuclear on it.

Looks to be working now. I was able to create a new character, stay online and add lore that is viewable by my existing characters.

Thanks for all the work on this.

No addon-related errors in the stdout, and I see the addon listed among the required ones at character load screen.
Is there a 'sure' way to check if the lore is getting registered correctly?
Cheers!

Check your OS user account's T-Engine/4.0/profiles/online/modules/tome/lore.profile. If it exists, its entries are your library. Easy copy'n'paste directories below.

Windows:
%USERPROFILE%\T-Engine\4.0\profiles\online\modules\tome

*nix:
~/T-Engine/4.0/profiles/online/modules/tome

I have no 'lore.profile' in ~/T-Engine/4.0/profiles/online/modules/tome, but I haven't got into the Sher'Tul fortress with this character (which has the addon working). Would that explain why?

No, it should be saving lore from the very first character made with the addon active. I may have gotten the *nix directory wrong, though, not using one myself.

In fact, just double checking, I find that *nix users should find it in:
~/.t-engine/4.0/profiles/online/modules/tome

Sorry about that.

No problem, I figured out the correct path since I had a previous talk with someone
about this lore problem in the IRC channel #tome.
When I checked about half an hour ago, I'm positive I had no 'lore.profile' under ~/.t-engine,
albeit I did already collected several Trollmire and Kor'Pul lore items.

I just went to Shatur (the thalore town) and bumped on the statue...
Now I do have a 'lore.profile', whose only content is:

Code: Select all

lore = {}
lore["thaloren-lament"] = true

It's some good news, isn't it?!
Cheers!

EDIT (1)
For the records: more lore collected and still the 'lore.profile' only contains that thalore entry.
Isn't that a bit weird?

EDIT (2)
Made into the Sher'Tul fortress and accessed the Library. The (2) found lore was 'propagated' to other existing pre-addon characters. Thanks!

You mean that only 2 of the lore pieces you've found with the addon active are in the library?

Indeed. I have by now been collecting lots of lore, but in 'lore.profile' I still only have:

Code: Select all

lore = {}
lore["thaloren-lament"] = true
lore["loot-vault-empty"] = true

This character has been through all the T1/T2 zones, Sher'Tul, Temporal Rift, Tempest Peak, most of Ancient Elven Ruins, Ruined Halfling Complex... That 'lore.profile' never has grown except for those entries.
Whenever I 'use' the library, I see 'lore found' messages about them. Nothing else...

Is there anything I could to to help investigating further?
Cheers!

[aardvark]

This one is my fault. The checks to see if lore should be added to the library were wrong (only in the addon; the patch is fine). I've posted an updated version.

[omero]

I started a new character and the 1st Trollmire lore got added to 'lore.profile' as expected.
Would also artifact related lore be added as well in there?
In any case, got lore for the Rod of Recall and the Void Star but those didn't register...

Cheers!

[aardvark]

Not as far as I can tell. There's two classifications for lore and only one of them gets added to the library.

Ok, good to know.
All seems to be working 'as advertized' now!
Even characters that started with the addon 'early' versions, those that had the 'online disabled' status problem,
are now collecting lore and 'online'.

Cheers!
