TipTop

Version: 2.13.1

by: Seerah [More]

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.

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:

optional class-colored border for units (optional support for !ClassColors)
optional difficulty-colored border for units
option to display class icon before unit's name in tooltip (off by default)
option to display guild rank (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, including class-colored
ability to move the tooltip or attach to cursor
can show health on statusbar in four 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.

- fix for nil error reported by Ookami.kun

2.13
- updated TOC for 5.2

- this fixes errors where the client would wrongly report a maxhp of 1

2.11
- updated TOC for MoP
- updated libs
- added Monk class icon
- fixed talents - they now only show Specialization, no talent points
- added option to truncate health text
- cleaned up code a tad
- localized new globals in the upvalues list
- added optional faction icon to tooltip (settings located in "Extra Stuff" section)
- removed "MONOCHROME" font flag because it currently crashes the client
- changed "THICK OUTLINE" font flag to "MONOCHROME OUTLINE" (this won't crash you)
- changed two included statusbar textures - converted to .blp properly this time

2.9.4
- updated TOC for 4.3
- updated libs

2.9.3
- fixed a bug with the short talents option when mousing over someone with no talent spec

2.9.2
- that was quick! today's mini-patch fixed heirloom item colors (removed override code from TipTop)

2.9.1
- attempt to fix Blizz bug where Heirloom items are colored white (this only fixes the tooltip borders, I filed a bug report to fix on the servers)

2.9
- added option to only show main spec name (hiding the talent points)

2.8.3

2.7
- FIXED: nil error when trying to get talents from players who haven't chosen their spec yet

- can now color the border by level difficulty (if class and difficulty are *both* selected, friendly units will be colored by class, and others will be by difficulty)
- changed hp display for units with no maxhp (ex. walls in WG) so that maxhp is 1 - this displays their current health, at least, instead of forcing the text to be blank
- fix for random/rare error with talents

2.3.2
- refix for talent spam

Maybe you need to find a better font.

There are plenty that are crisp and display well at smaller sizes. I personally can't read them when they're tiny, so I can't think of any fonts off the top of my head.

Quoting this from the description:

Thank you!!

The only way for me to remember to do these when I have time is to put them on my to-do list.

NeKrONOx A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 8 Uploads: 0	I have a very easy an fast suggestion: Changing the minimum of Border inset from 0 to -10 ( or whatever). I use this for nearly every Border in my UI. Border 1 px and inset -1. Would be nice when i don't have to change this whenever you update this excellent Addon.

Okie dokie. And I'm not lua savvy enough to play with it myself XD

Thanks for the answer, though (:

I have a semi-transparent background and a thin black border going right now, and I want to spice up the color of the text from the default white. :3

Everlu A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 16 Uploads: 2	That's what I thought too at first, but upon messing with the border settings, I found that the health bar always stays the exact same number of pixels away from the border. If you enlarge the border it pushes it towards the inside of the tooltip. __________________

That may be due to the border selected and the thickness set for it.

Re: Few things

No, it didn't. Can you do so again? (Except for the first one, which is already covered in the FAQ.)

/edit: oh wow - I must have been half asleep still.

It was there. I looked at the bug report someone posted for an addon and forgot to look at your feature request.

Originally posted by joshwill80
I noticed that the tooltip actually takes more or less space on screen than what the movable anchor shows. Would like to see the option to make the tooltip grow from a certain spot on the movable anchor (anchor the tooltip to the lower left corner of the movable anchor for example).

Also, any chance of getting an option to just show a short version of talents? I would like to just see "Restoration" in the tooltip instead of "Restoration 00/00/31".

I submitted this to your portal, but I'm not sure it went through.
