Version: 0.26

by: Baertram [More]

FCO Lockpicker

This addon depends on the following libraries:
LibAddonMenu-2.0

ATTENTION: CHECK YOUR CURRENT ADDON'S SETTINGS BEFORE UPDATING TO THE NEW VERSION 0.22:
The SavedVariables were changed to save per server now and thus they will reset.
You need to redo the few settings again after login!
Have at least a look at your current threshold values and colors so that you are easily able to reset them.

Do you remember that moment as you find a nice chest somehwere but then you realize that you don't have any lockpicks left in your pocket?
And the next moment some other player appears and loots this chest right in front of you?
Picking a lock is sometimes frustrating and you want some help?

This simple addon gives you the possibility to colorize the "lockpicks left" information that you see at the bottom line, if you are lockpicking a chest.
The colors can be changed according to a number of lockpicks that you have left in your inventory (threshold values).
The next chest you will lockpick will give you the visual information now, if you need to get some new lockpicks to your pocket.

In addition the addon is able to show you visual helpers during your lockpicking:

A green check icon will be shown each time a chamber of the current lockpick progress was picked and you need to release your mouse button!
You are able to colorize the lock's springs green as they get resolved.

Supports keyboard and gamepad mode.

After installing the addon please visit the settings menu (ESC -> Settings -> AddOn settings) and configure it there to your needs!

Okay, will try this myself then. But I think I cannot really handle the cross mode chat states properly for all cases...

Edit:
Well, guess the problem was sitting in front of the PC again this time

SCENE_STATE_SHOWING is unknown and should be SCENE_SCHOWING instead, and all of sudden the "remember the chat state before gamepad lockpicking starts" will be remembered..

You're right. I use both KBM and gamepad modes, so I had it set to auto. Which means when I clicked to minimize chat window, it briefly changed into KBM mode, then when I used controller to start lockpicking, it changed back to gamepad mode.

Mouse and keyboard mode seems to be working fine, though.

Somehow it did not happen to me.
Did you ONLY have FCOLockPicker enabled? Disable all other addons please while testing.

You see, as I said: Unable to test this properly and there are so many different cases the code will run left or right *sigh*
And to be fair: I do not really like to start to support the gamead mode as it will need fixes then if Zos changes something as well
-> Means: Always double work I need to invest with my free time. So unfortunately this is currently all you'll get here, sorry for the half-way-support but at least it works a bit better now (I asume

).

To the dev world:
The addon is at github since 2 years. If any one wants to add full gamepad support please go ahead, fork it and add the code, send a pull request (After testing it properly with keyboard and gamepad mode). Thanks

Thanks. Will test it later in the evening (Europe).

Re: Re: Re: Chat always minimized in gamepad mode

The issue seems to be rather simple. In gamepad mode, the game minimizes chat window on its own, so when EVENT_BEGIN_LOCKPICK event is called, the window is already minimized. So then when you save the state in FCOLockpicker_OnBeginLockpick():

Lua Code:

-Remember chat minimized state
FCOLP.preventerVars.gOnLockpickChatStateIsMinimized = CHAT_SYSTEM:IsMinimized() or false

FCOLP.preventerVars.gOnLockpickChatStateIsMinimized is always set to false, so the window is always restored as minimized in FCOLockpicker_OnEndLockpick().

If not interacted with, in gamepad mode, the game restores chat window state when exiting lockpicking on its own (actually it seems it does it before executing the EVENT_LOCKPICK_SUCCESS or EVENT_LOCKPICK_FAILED events).

Well if the game minimizes the chat automatically in gamepad mode and it IS minimized as you begin the lockpick: How should the addon then know what to do after lockpicks end?

I check at the begin of the lockpick what the current chat state is, as you already described.
I got no other way to determine it, or I'd have to always save the chat state on every change (minimized/maximized) no matter if lockpicking is invloved or not, but just to track the gamepad's current chat state.
This wasn't/isn't necessary in keyboard mode, correct.
And I won't add a general chat minimize/maximize check, sorry. Too much effort.

If in gamepad mode the chat is minimized automatically I might autmatically maximize it after the lockpicking.
But then 50% of the users will complain again that the chat wasn't maximized before they entered the lockpicking...
Well, exactly the example for what ZOs did. Changes between keyboard and gamepad mode, in code, events and whatever. It sucks!

I'll have a look "some day" why the chat is automagically minimized in gamepad mode, what does this, and if i'm able to track this before a lockpick to get the correct state.

Great plugin BTW.

Yes, I'm not owning a gamepad nor am I supporting the gamepad mode with my addons officially as ZOs decided to "duplicate" all stuff between keyboard and gamepad mode. This makes it riddiculously hard to create addons,as you need to duplicateabout 90% of the code, checks, and test everthing duplicated as well. If other addons are compatible in Keyboard mode this does tell nothing about gamepad mode again

-> The effort is too high for my time, sorry.

So if this does not work, I'm unfortunately not able to test and fix this properly.
i'll have a look if I can "imagine" a fix, but no promises.

Lua Code:

-Remember chat minimized state
FCOLP.preventerVars.gOnLockpickChatStateIsMinimized = CHAT_SYSTEM:IsMinimized() or false

But they can't unless you take the time to do the useless update to a txt file. Where 1 click of the user's fixes this.
So in the end it is useless. IF they would understand the reason and finally ignore the cause, just enable the checkbox, all are fine

ZOs should remove this addon version check, Imo. It does not tell anything about an addons "is it still working" state be only confuses the users.

I wouldn't really say it's useless. There's a lot of players who still do not understand that "Out of Date" addons are marked that because of the simple API number change that hasn't been updated and will keep from using the mod, as seen in the comments here where some folks ask why this isn't supported.

IMO, addons should try to avoid this confusion at all costs.

Just enable the checkbox "Allow out of date addons" ingame.

Just because a number comparison ingame says the addon is not updated, which is wrong, does not mean it is broken.

Each major patch the same stupid discussion, sorry, nothing against you, but this sucks!
If you want to show it as updated fix the txt file locally for yourself :-)
Or enable that simple checkbox and ighnore this stupidity of a check without sense...

Gotcha. Thought you would not be against someone offering to do the simple legwork.
