RantTooltip  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 0.28
by: Stuck [More]

RantTooltip (GUI) Options here.

(NOTE: If you plan on using a layout other than the default layout, you need to delete the RantTooltip_Layout folder first.)

RantTooltip is a tooltip addon that was influenced by oUF to include a layout system for tooltips. You'll find it very similar to oUF. A sample layout is included, based on p3lim's oUF layout. It was designed to match p3lim's layout due to my personal use of it. I take no credit for the design.

The documentation included in the zip file should give you all the information you need on how you create your own tooltip layout.

For everyone who prefers the original RantTooltip look, I've uploaded a layout called RantTooltip Classic.

-[Rum] (Stuck)

0.28 - "<" and ">" will now be colored according to the tag variable the encompass.
- The last player's talent spec will now be cached. This will stop the "Loading" text from flashing in some cases.

0.27 - Colons next to tag variables are no longer colored to be consistent with the adjacent variable. This was conflicting with tag updates.
- Added two more new tags: $curshort and $maxshort. These variables will display health and power values but will reduce their size if necessary.
- For example: 125000 becomes 125k. 1500000 becomes 1.5m.
- Added a $spec tag which will display the player's current spec - their talent tree with the most points in it.
- Do not use $spec and $talents in the same conditional. It will not work. If you want them on the same line, put them in separate conditionals, like this:
Code:
"{Talents: [$spec]}{ ($talents)}",
instead of:
Code:
"{Talents: [$spec] ($talents)}",

0.26 - Added $talents tag which displays the player's talents.
- Fixed a small issue with tag updates.
- Fixed an error concerning layouts without raid icons or combat icons.
- Various small changes.

0.25 - Fixed a few errors involving the DeleteLine function and unit tags.
- Updated the library.
- Other minor changes.

0.24 - Fixed a tag update issues that concerned "$target".
- Added PreOnSizeChanged and PostOnSizeChanged functions for every tooltip.
- Fixed an issue concerning GameTooltip.FindLine in the library.

0.23 - Updated a few things.
- Colons are now colored according to the tag variable to the left of them.
- Fixed and changed the library.
- Cleaned up code.
- Other miscellaneous changes.

0.22 - Fixed a conflict with GearScore. GearScore tooltip text now displays properly.
-Add override functions (i.e.):
GameTooltip.OverrideSetDefaultAnchor(self, parent)
GameTooltip:PreSetUnit(unit)
GameTooltip:PostSetUnit(unit)
GameTooltip:PreOnShow()
GameTooltip:PostOnShow()
GameTooltip:PreOnHide()
GameTooltip:PostOnHide()
GameTooltip:OverrideUpdateHealthBar(bar, cur, max)
GameTooltip:PreUpdateHealthBar(bar, cur, max)
GameTooltip:PostUpdateHealthBar(bar, cur, max)
GameTooltip:OverrideUpdatePowerBar(bar, cur, max)
GameTooltip:PreUpdatePowerBar(bar, cur, max)
GameTooltip:PostUpdatePowerBar(bar, cur, max)

0.21 - Fixed health bar text, fixed text color, and a few other things changed.

0.2 - Updated to fix memory problem.

Hi,

while looking through the AddOns files I noticed this line:
["edgeFile"] = "Interface\\Glues\\Common\\TextPanel-Border","edgeFile"]
RantTooltip.lua & RantTooltip.lua.bak (within WTF structure).

What is it for, as I don't have any 'Glues' folder ...

hmm conflict with clique ?
I don't think that its directly related to clique, as I have a very similiar error-message, without having clique installed:

Texture and Fonts

I just installed the newest version (65) and I have lost my previous texture/border/font settings. I input back in what I had before and they are not displaying. I had roth borders, flat statusbar texture, and vera serif font before. The way in which they were input in the option fields before were:

Interface\\AddOns\\SharedMedia\\border\\roth
Interface\\AddOns\\SharedMedia\\statusbar\\Flat
Interface\\AddOns\\SharedMedia\\fonts\\VeraSe.TTF

Do I need to input them differently in the newest version? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I really like this addon, it gives some very useful information, its looking good and ... its working. I just have 1 more suggestion: Can you add support for RP addons, like flagRSP, so that your tooltips show the RP status and the improved names of other players?

Scratch that. It happens every time, not sometimes. Anything being worked on to fix this, or is it a blizzard thing?

Target Error

If you guys manage to repeat this and tell me exactly what you did to produce it, I can fix it right away. Could you both tell me what addons you were using? It would help a lot. =)
Looking at runamonk's posted Addons below, the ones that we both have are:

AtlasLoot
Bartender4
DBM
LightHeaded
Outfitter
TomTom

And I can reproduce the error by simply enabling the target option and mousing over a player, the tooltip continually scrolls the target.

Thanks!

Re: Target bug

I think the talent issue has to do with blizzard messing around with talents and hotfixing dual spec. I haven't changed anything with it in a while.

This mod rocks, I just have a few requests. First do you think it would be possible to choose where you want the statusbar text to be? I prefer it being in the center. Second is there a way to remove the border when the statusbar is inside the tooltip? Third is there a way to choose a gradient background?
I'll see what I can do. =)

Target bug

I have run into another issue where the tooltip grows to huge proportional sizes because of the target line, it just keeps adding the target line.

Seems the only time I have had this happen is when the user is in the process of changing their talents or haven't setup any new talents at all.

I have run into another issue where the tooltip grows to huge proportional sizes because of the target line, it just keeps adding the target line. Like a loop is not being broken and its stuck in it. I haven't been able to get this to happen on demand but yesterday on a naxx raid it happened quite a few times, no steps to repeat yet but I'll keep playing with it to see if I can come up with something.

Awesome job!

I agree. I'll be adding this soon. =)

I'll take a look at clearfont and see what I can do.
