new options setup

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.

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 6228 File comments: 316 Uploads: 18	1. Feature requests belong on my portal for future reference. 2. Your request has absolutely nothing to do with a tooltip mod, despite its printing that info to the tooltip (which any addon can do) I'm not aware off the top of my head of an addon that already does what you are asking, but that's the job of a kill-tracker addon. __________________ "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

silverwolfie A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	I just started using this mod, but so far I like it better then a lot of others I've tried to use. I wonder though if you would consider putting in some kind of mob count (so you could track how many times you've killed a mob on the tooltip)

OarisJM A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 19 Uploads: 0	I know you have a bug report for this - http://www.wowinterface.com/portal.p...bug&bugid=5131 - but it's a bit older and I just wanted to chime in here too and say I am having the same problem that Vellesta and bubblebop reported between Grid and TipTop. I love them both too much to get rid of either one, and I don't really know which one is at fault (I suspect Grid, because it even happens when Grid tooltips in combat are turned OFF), so I am living with it, but if it can be fixed on your end (since you're much more active than the Grid people) I'd be thrilled! It doesn't get said enough so thank you so much for your simple, pretty mods.

This has already been reported in the Bug Reports section of my Portal. I am working on getting a fix out soon.

Vellesta A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	I am also having the exact same issue as bubblebop. It may be worth noting, I've only noticed this when hovering over a frame in Grid while in combat.

bubblebop A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 7 Uploads: 0	First, I absolutely love this addon and have been using it for a long time -- thanks so much for providing it, updating it, and helping users with their issues so frequently. I've scanned over these comments and have not seen anyone post with the same issue I'm having, as I believe it started with 2.0 (though possibly with 2.0.1). To describe the issue -- when I simply mouse over raid or party unit frames and go back and forth between two or more player units which are in combat (doesn't happen when they are out of combat), the TipTop tooltip begins growing/duplicating the players' talent builds until, in some cases, the tooltip becomes giant! If I move my cursor off the player unit frames however, it "resets" the tooltip, and it goes back to normal, i.e. it only displays their talent build once. Again, I've only found this occurs when the raid or party members I am targetting are in combat. And by the way, I am not receiving any error from this issue, either from TipTop or another addon. I haven't been receiving any errors from TipTop at all, actually. Edit I didn't originally notice, but if you look at the screenshot, it shows I'm targetting a "Level 80 Blood Elf Mage", however the tooltip border is orange instead of light blue, and it's displaying "Talent: Feral Combat (0/58/15)" somehow. It's sort of hard to explain, so I've provided a screenshot: Last edited by bubblebop : 09-19-2009 at 02:58 AM.

Gruffness A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 9 File comments: 67 Uploads: 0	I'm sorry about not posting in/on your portal. I was making a quick post while waiting for a rez (being dead at the time). Looks like I may need to save a link directly to your portal for next time if needed. An editor with line numbers is no trouble. I have Notepad++. The error was caught (again) by the default LUA error handler and not Swatter. I'm not sure if disabling "show LUA errors" will allow Swatter to take over or not. I never saved any info from an error I received about not being able to show a border since I'm uncertain what add-on I was using at the time it popped up. It may have been Altoholic. It didn't repeat so I didn't worry too much. I tend to torture my add-ons with other add-ons. Last edited by Gruffness : 09-17-2009 at 05:10 PM.

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 6228 File comments: 316 Uploads: 18	Guys, how many times do I have to ask you to put bug reports in my portal? I'm gonna stop replying to them here and/or just deleting them from the comments after tonight. @ Gruffness: try changing line 271 from Code: if target and target ~= UNKNOWN then to Code: if target and target ~= UNKNOWN and tclass then If you don't have an editor with line numbers, then just search for that code and you'll find it. Let me know if it seems to fix it. Seems like it should, but I haven't raided in ages. @ Tinuviel: When did you get this error? What were you doing/what item/etc? Bug reports are great, but 99.9% of the time it's best to give as much info as possible when reporting something. Thanks. __________________ "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
