TipTop

In my quest to find the perfect tooltip mod, I decided to create my own and have a learning experience. Thus, TipTop was born. TipTop seeks to modify the default tip instead of replace it.

NOTE: Options are reset with 1.9!

2.0 is RELEASED! Please delete your old TipTop directory before updating.

Apparently, my comments are a magnet for bug reports and feature requests, despite the buttons for them to the right to put them on my portal, the FAQ saying to put them on my portal (with links even!), and repeated requests in the comments section to put them at my portal. So I'll put it here in big, colorful, bold letters.
FEATURE REQUESTS AND BUG REPORTS NEED TO BE PUT ON MY PORTAL. IF YOU PUT THEM IN MY COMMENTS, THEY WILL MOST LIKELY BE FORGOTTEN AND/OR IGNORED.
I appreciate the time that you take to report bugs and request things, but please appreciate the time/effort that it takes me to go through them and remember them, and please just put them in the correct location.

Features:

class-colored border for units (optional support for !ClassColors)
option to display class icon before unit's name in tooltip (off by default)
added target text line
"faded" tip if unit is tapped, dead, or offline
custom border, background, and status bar textures
custom font selection, plus option of Outline, etc.
custom background color/alpha
custom health bar color
ability to move the tooltip or attach to cursor
can show health on statusbar in three different formats
health bar may be above or below the tooltip, or be contained inside the tooltip
item-quality colored border for items
raid icon display
added talent text line
displays (Rare), (AFK), and (DND) when possible, next to the unit's name
option to display elite/rare elite graphic for those units
adjust tip background alpha
SharedMedia support
each character has a choice of using either a global or character specific profile

FAQ:

Where are the options?
The options panel is located on the addons page of the Interface Options panel. Hit escape, go to Interface, click the AddOns tab, and you'll see TipTop listed there. You can also use the slash commands /tiptop or /tip

How do I move the tooltip?
In the TipTop config window, scroll down until you see the anchor settings. You may either anchor the mouse to the cursor, or to a side/corner of the screen. Note that x,y offsets only work when the tip is *not* anchored to the cursor. This is a limitation set by the game's API, and I will not code in the hacks that other tooltip addons use to get around this. I suggest using the alpha setting instead so the tip doesn't block your view so much.

I want the tooltip offset from the cursor - will you add it or is it bugged?
See above.

Where can I find more fonts/borders/bar textures?
For further font choices, I suggest the SharedMedia addon. Have a font you want to use that's not in there? Read the "Instructions for MyMedia.txt" file in the SharedMedia folder.

How can I give feedback?
Feel free to leave your comments/questions here, but all bug reports and feature requests need to go to my portal if you want me to remember to do them.

Bug Reports / Feature Requests

Can I use your code/textures?
All use of my code and custom textures separate from TipTop must be for your own personal use and they may not be redistributed separate from the addon. You may use snippets of my code in addons you intend to distribute only after receiving permission, and credit must be given.

Can I redistribute this addon?
My addons may only be redistributed in UI compilations, and any mention of the addon must point to its download page or my portal, both on wowinterface.

Do you accept cookies?
I love cookies! Unfortunately, they may turn to crumbs in the mail. Instead, you may donate to my cookie fund via PayPal.

Change Log - TipTop

2.3
- Fixed: talent text spamming the tooltip for some raid frames

- if you have the elite graphic enabled, it will now show for bosses too

2.1.1
- added support for WorldMapTooltip

2.1
- added a couple additional checks to silence a couple errors

- rearranged options
- new health bar color option
- added an elite/rare elite graphic option for hubby
- changed directory structure and pushed media into a media subdirectory

1.8
***I suggest deleting your TipTop folder before updating to this version***
- performance tweaks (thanks Elkano)

- fix for bug where default values didn't show for offset fields in options window
- removed unused widget types from config library to save a small bit of memory
- script hooks should be safer (thanks Elkano)

This error will occur on live servers, as there is no ShoppingTooltip3 frame.

A potential (i.e. untested) fix is to replace the wall of text on line 78 with this:

Code:

--fonts--
GameTooltipHeaderText:SetFont(font, fontSize + 2)
GameTooltipText:SetFont(font, fontSize)
GameTooltipTextSmall:SetFont(font, fontSize - 2)
ShoppingTooltip1TextLeft1:SetFont(font, fontSize-2)
ShoppingTooltip1TextLeft2:SetFont(font, fontSize)
ShoppingTooltip1TextLeft3:SetFont(font, fontSize-2)
ShoppingTooltip2TextLeft1:SetFont(font, fontSize-2)
ShoppingTooltip2TextLeft2:SetFont(font, fontSize)
ShoppingTooltip2TextLeft3:SetFont(font, fontSize-2)

if select(4,GetBuildInfo()) >= 30000 then
	ShoppingTooltip3TextLeft1:SetFont(font, fontSize-2)
	ShoppingTooltip3TextLeft2:SetFont(font, fontSize)
	ShoppingTooltip3TextLeft3:SetFont(font, fontSize-2)
end

That way it should work on live aswell as beta

Still debating talents. Removing titles, I don't think I'm going to implement.

Yeah, we removed ratings from the site yesterday as we and other authors are tired of griefers giving addons a low rating cause they think it's fun. We may replace it with something else in the future.

But thanks for the thought!

If you like it, you can add it to your favorites instead.

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 6219 File comments: 316 Uploads: 18	Thanks for the comments, all. I will think about Talents and Titles. Titles would require me parsing the tooltip and replacing stuff, of which I'm not doing any of that now. I could add in a background for the status bar - would make reading the text easier when health is low. I'll look into updating targets differently, and "YOU" is doable. Hrmm.... I had Raid Icons working perfectly at one point, though I may have changed something when cleaning up/rearranging the code. Will look at it again, thanks. Oh, I know what it is - I'm dumb. Will be fixed in next version. __________________ "You'd be surprised how many people violate this simple principle every day of their lives and try to fit square pegs into round holes, ignoring the clear reality that Things Are As They Are." -Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh Last edited by Seerah : 08-26-2008 at 11:48 AM.

(Like Gladiator Duelist etc. pp.) And the Targeting seems to not update on the fly if you mouseover someone, you have to "re"museover to see which Target your Target. And yes, Talents would be nice. Edit: Raid Icons do not update correctly, after targeting a NPC with Icon and then a Party Member, the same Icon shows up all the time.
