PSOBB Addon Plugin (Lua UI addons)

So, I'm trying to download drop checker, and I'm not sure why it's not working. I downloaded Eidolon's mod, but all that's appearing is a window that I can't click on or move around (even though my mouse and cursor work on everything else).

http://imgur.com/a/1sDOC Here's my folder
http://imgur.com/a/LyN8M Here's my addons

What the heck am I missing here?

Tried Soly's, and it didn't do anything. But maybe I'm just moving files to the wrong spot or something, I dunno.

As it says in the readme of my repo, you need to copy each addon you want into the addons folder.
For mine, you need to also copy solylib, as it's used by my addons.
So it should end up something like
./EphineaPSO/addons/solylib/...
./EphineaPSO/addons/Character Reader/...
 
Step by Step Guide to Install these add ons:

1. Download Eidolon's PSOBB Mod, the file you save should be called "bbmod.zip"
2. Download Soly's addons, all contained in a file named "PSOBBMod-Addons-master.zip"
3. If you're on Windows 10, right click on each of these downloaded folders and open the properties for each. Then make sure to check the box at the bottom that says "Unblock" and apply changes. I don't know if this matters, but I do it just in case. If you don't see this box, don't worry about this step.
4. Open the "bbmod.zip" archive and extract "dinput8.dll" and the "addons" folder into the root folder of your PSOBB installation.
5. Open the "PSOBBMod-Addons-master.zip" archive and open the folder within it called "PSOBBMod-Addons-master". Inside this folder you'll find all the addons in their own folder, as well as a folder called "solylib" which is required by each addon. Extract the folders "Character Reader", "Monster HP", "Player Reader" and "solylib" into the "addons" folder in your PSOBB installation (the "addons" folder is the one we extracted earlier from "bbmod.zip").
6. Launch the game and organize and resize your windows. They are all tiny and minimized by default, so you'll need to expand them. The settings for the window sizes and locations are saved in a file called "imgui.ini" which is created in the "addons" folder. When you update these addons in the future, you can save the "imgui.ini" file to save your window sizes and locations.

EDIT: You can actually make the "imgui.ini" read-only after placing the windows where you like them, so that in the future if you accidentally move a window or resize it or something, your changes won't be saved.
 
I'd just make a copy rather than making it read only, because if you add more addons their position wouldn't be saved.
 
Ahhhh, I'm an idiot. I forgot I deleted those files. Thanks for putting up with my imbecilic inquiries.
 
Hello. I tried to add Soly's addons. Got these errors. pso131402708139843750.jpg

Please help me what did i do wrong? I was doing everything step by step as saying in guide above.
 
Given that all addons failed, with that same utf-16 string error, I assume the problem was in the unitxt library.
Did you update that?
 
Hey, I'm trying to get the drop checker to work here, and it isn't even showing up, I am not too avid in this scene so I am not sure if I have done something wrong here, I've looked through this forum and I couldn't find a drop checker outside of Jakes, and following the readme in putting it in:
put all 4 files in $PSOBBFOLDER/addons/DropChecker/
due to reasons the path needs to be exactly that
All efforts seem to not make the Drop Checker show at all, so if someone could give us a hand that'll be great :3

The drop checker is the character reader. Change "Character" to "Floor".

Sweet, cheers for that, I just realised that it was minimized, making me think nothing was popping up, and another thing, where do I get that Mag Feeding timer?
 
On another note, is it at all possible to remove the headers of the tabs in the UI so that it could look alot more cleaner without having the tabs clipped off the screen up on the top?

Alright, so the Kill Counter addon is pretty much done. I am planning to extend it further to start gathering per-session statistics, but it seems to be working properly for every enemy type I've tested. That said, I've done a very limited amount of testing in Episode 2 so there could be some surprises there. Anyway, here's a link to the addon.

If you want to know how it works to see how you can make use of it, or if you want to provide suggestions on how to make it more useful, you can read the wiki for some additional information.

You'd have to go into the lua code and find every call to imgui.Begin("...") to replace it with imgui.Begin("...", nil, "NoTitleBar").
