Lord of the Rings Online Tips

Installing LUA plugins on the Mac version of CXG

To install LUA plugins (a new feature in the Free to Play version of LOTRO released 10 September 2010):

It is highly recommended that you visit LoTROInterface : LotRO Tools & Utilities for Users and download:

LoTROInterface : LOTRO Plugin Compendium (Mac / Linux) : LOTRO Plugin Compendium (Mac / Linux)

This is a java version of the Plugin Compendium which runs independently of Windows. It runs on the Mac with the default version of Java released with Lion (OS X 10.7.3). The LPC automates the installation and updating Lotro Lua Plugins.

If you wish to do things by hand: 

In the Finder: navigate to Documents.
You will see the folder: "The Lord of the Rings Online"; create a new folder "Plugins"....

Install any LUA plugins in that folder, in their own folders. 

The LOTRO command "/plugins list" will find any plugins located in this directory, and in any subdirectories. 

The "examples" from Turbine create a folder "TurbinePlugins" and another folder called "Turbine."

This directory "Documents/The Lord of the Rings Online/" is also where you will find your screenshots, keymap and UI preferences.

The "full path" is actually a link (alias) back to this directory - "<your userid>/Documents/The Lord of the Rings Online"
The "full path" is:
<your userid>/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/<your bottle>/drive_c/users/crossover/My Documents"

Note: this is under OSX 10.7.3 (Lion); CrossOver 11. If a LUA plug works under LOTRO it will work with CO.

Extensive information on using Lua Plugins with Lotro can be found at:

Updated 13 March 2012 for CrossOver 11.
