Charm Options are added in the latest update please test.



I tested this on EMU using War, Cler, Brd, Enc, Dru, Nec as the party in Plane of Fear. Boy is it fun with 4 charmed pets wrecking things.

Both Dire Charm and Normal Charm seem to be working nicely, but again Feedback always appreciated.

On a Bard (error comes as soon as you click the toggle for Charm on). Also, she decided to kill an NPC I was trying to talk to to start an event in Plane of Nightmare. (But that might have been because she thought herself MA. Just zoned in and thought I fixed the group roles).

EDIT: The error goes away as soon as I click reload spell loadout and it adds the charmsong to the spell bar. So maybe there is a missing signal to mem the spell when you toggle on charm.

is this your error?
[ERROR ] [Setting] 'DireCharm' was requested but not found in any module!

you can either delete the DireCharm setting in the bards Charm_servername_charname.Lua config file or just delete the Charm_servername_charname.Lua config for the bard.

this is just because the setting was there from an older version.

Happens on a new toon as quoted above. Once you reload the spell spell set manually it stops the error. The charm file is empty return{} when running rgmercs.

Edit: Setting the default to true for charmon seems to write the config file without the error and enables the charm on.
Edit: Nevermind, as soon as you turn it off and load a new set and then reactivate charm on it goes back to the spam.
Code: 
['CharmOn']            = { DisplayName = "Charm On", Category = "Charm Pet", Default = true, Tooltip = "Set to use charm spells.", },

I believe i have this fixed on another pr that is in the wings waiting for approval. I can check again when i get home from work tonight in about 9 more hours.
 
Just taking a look at this and haven't read every change to the code, but if it isn't fixed, I have an idea of what to look at (line 459 of charm.Lua).

459:
if ((charmSpell and charmSpell() and mq.TLO.Me.SpellReady(charmSpell.RankName.Name())()) or (not RGMercUtils.MyClassIs("BRD") and RGMercUtils.GetSetting("DireCharm") or false)) and ...

seems to do the trick. I haven't dug into this and not sure if the usage is correct so I'll bow to grimmier's superior understanding for the confirmation/PR.
 
It's just not saving after removing depreciated settings. Which it would be for a bard. I have a fix at home. Where it adds a bool return after removing depreciated settings and if true saves the settings. Otherwise it doesn't save them until the next time you change any setting.

This seems to happen for any depreciated settings, they get removed but doesnt update the config after.
 
Voice of Suja Rk II is not being recognized as a charm spell and I am getting the DireCharm spam again (on latest update and checked in no mention of DireCharm).
I had call of the banshee memed before and not getting dire charm spam.

Voice of the Diabo Rk II is not being recognized either and getting DireCharm spam.

Voice of Sillsia not being recognized.

Maybe the higher level spells are not programmed?

Oh my dude, if you are ever interested, I'd happily talk you through it in Discord if I was free! Sorry for the slight misquote, I was largely teasing Cannonballdex because of their previous contributions/PR's :)

Edit: To be 100% clear I'd rather people talk about things and list problems even if they can't/won't/don't PR than not say anything because they will be ribbed to do that, so please, don't misunderstand my comment!

Oh I wasnt having an issue with what you said.

I actually looked at both before putting the new file in and renaming the old. The change was simple.
 
Its's all good. I have so many custom edits that I try to compare the active release with my files when I have time. Doing this is time consuming as I compare every file and the changes. I try to update github with fixes and what not and some changes in my files are more for my personal preference than something I would push to others. Great work all the way around with RGMercs Lua to everyone that has contributed to it.
