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.

Hello. What layout are you using?
You mean when you click a item on the chat for example it shows the item icon on the left right?
U just need to comment the followning part of the code:

Code:

if self == ItemRefTooltip then
	self.itemIcon = self:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY")
	self.itemIcon:SetWidth(37); self.itemIcon:SetHeight(37)
	self.itemIcon:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", self, "TOPLEFT", -1, 0)
end

Should be somehting like this near the end of the file.

And I seem to be having the same trouble with getting the exaile layout to work with the options menu.

How should my addon list look?

Hi. Some layouts dont work at 100% with the option menu.
It seems exaile is one of them.
Well to my eyes, since exaile doenst has a border i can't really tell if the statusbars are inside or out of the frame hehe.

I've recently switched from CowTip and I'm trying to replicate my somewhat elaborate tooltip config with RTT now, however there are a couple issues:

1. Coloring in the layout: I really like the idea of a layout system (I'm trying to build my own to distribute to guild members), but at the moment it seems very limited:

All the colors are hardcoded in RantTooltip.lua, meaning if I want a specific element/tag to show in a different color I have to:

-Either edit the main mod (RantTooltip.lua), which would defeat the purpose of a layout system and would break every time a new version of RTT is released.

Or

-Create a duplicate tag of each tag I want to recolor in my layout file. This would be very inefficient, especially considering some of the longer tags like $spec for example.

Is there any efficient way to play with the coloring in the layout? If not, any plan of moving the tag coloring over to the layout file in future versions of RTT (possibly add a syntax so color can be specified next to each tag in RantTooltip:SetUnitTags{})?

2. Conditional coloring: My LuaFu is failing me, how would I go about setting conditional colors for things like Name or Guild?

Something like (DogTags used in Cowtip):

Name:

Code:

(IsFriend and not PvP ? Cyan NameRealm ! HostileColor NameRealm)

Guild:

Code:

(if Guild = "player":Guild then Green else (if Faction = "player":Faction then Cyan else Yellow end) end) Guild:Angle

3. Conditionals based on tag results: Is there a way of adding conditionals based on return value of a tag? For example I had CowTip set up in a way to scan player titles, if it was a meaningful title I cared about (Gladiator, Battlemaster etc.) it would show in a special color next to the name. If not, it was discarded:

Code:

(PvPRank:Contains("Scarab") or PvPRank:Contains("Gladiator") or PvPRank:Contains("Arena") or PvPRank:Contains("Battlemaster") or PvPRank:Contains("Grand Marshal") or PvPRank:Contains("High") ? PvPRank:Fuchsia " ") (IsFriend and not PvP ? Cyan NameRealm ! HostileColor NameRealm) (PvPRank:Contains("Alliance") or PvPRank:Contains("Horde") ? " " PvPRank:Fuchsia)

Any way of doing such filtering in RTT?

4. Right aligned text:

Having the lines split in the AddLine hook is not a good idea. That will affect other addons that may use AddLine. Instead, I had the lines split in RantTooltip.ReplaceTags. If there is a "|", it will return 2 values, the strings for the left and right lines. "|" turned out to not be a very good symbol to use because of hex colors. Didn't realize that at the time. I may use "&" or "#" instead.

I've already rewritten DeleteLine so it deletes both lines and moves every other line, including the right lines, up correctly. I've added an InsertDoubleLine, and hooked AddDoubleLine properly. Changed InsertLine so it also works properly when interacting with double lines.

Everything is working so far. The only problem so far, is the UpdateTag function. In other words, it all works perfectly so far, the tags just aren't updating.

Any progress with this? It's infinitely more visible to be able to have the target of the unit being hovered over visible on the right edge for example. I've tried to play a bit with including white spaces but that's just very ugly.

Sorry for the wall of text, but RTT is the first (only?) Tooltip mod I've found which comes close to the customization that the abandoned CowTip provided and it's so close to being a perfect replacement even if configuring it requires a bit more work. I would stick with CowTip if it wasn't for the memory leak and the messy bug with building HP.

Thanks for a great addon

You can set colors in the UnitTags now, it just doesn't work conditionally. I've tried to think of a way to set the colors for all variables from the layout simply, but tag variables are so conditional that the only proper way to change them, if you want, is to edit/hook the tag function itself. I don't think there is any better way of doing it.

Something like (DogTags used in Cowtip):

Name:

(IsFriend and not PvP ? Cyan NameRealm ! HostileColor NameRealm)

This can be easily changed by altering the RantTooltip.ReactionColors table in your layout.

If that doesn't work, try adding this to your layout:

Code:

local nametag = RantTooltip.Tags["$name"]
RantTooltip.Tags["$name"] = function(unit)
   local name = nametag(unit)
   if UnitIsFriend(unit, "player") and not UnitIsPvP(unit) then
      name = name:gsub("|cff%x%x%x%x%x%x", "|cffffffff") --put whatever color you want here
   end
   return name
end

Code:

local guildtag = RantTooltip.Tags["$guild"]
RantTooltip.Tags["$guild"] = function(unit)
   local guild = guildtag(unit)
   if GetGuildInfo("player") == GetGuildInfo(unit) then
      guild = guild:gsub("|cff%x%x%x%x%x%x", "|cffffffff") --put whatever color you want here
   end
   return guild
end

edit: What did you mean by faction?

The best way to do this would be to add this to your layout:

Code:

RantTooltip.Tags["$title"] = function(unit)
   local PvPRank = UnitPvPRank(unit)
   return (PvPRank:match("Scarab") or PvPRank:match("Gladiator") or PvPRank:match("Arena") 
   or PvPRank:match("Battlemaster") or PvPRank:match("Grand Marshal") or PvPRank:match("High")) 
   and ("|cfffffff"..PvPRank.."|r") or (UnitIsFriend(unit, "player") and not UnitIsPvP(unit) and "|cfffffff"..PvPRank.."|r" 
   or "|cfffffff"..PvPRank.."|r") or ((PvPRank:match("Alliance") or PvPRank:match("Horde")) 
   and "|cfffffff"..PvPRank.."|r")
end

Now the $title tag will work the way you want it to. You'll have to change the colors around to what you want, but it should work.

I spent a day trying to code this in. The tooltip functions seem to cater to left lines more than they do right lines. I tried amending the RT Library functions of: FindLine, DeleteLine, AddLine, AddDoubleLine, etc. in order to work with right lines as well. I also changed the tag system in RantTooltip so it would give equal freedom to both left and right lines. For example, if you wanted right lines on your unit tooltips, your UnitTags would look like this:

Code:

"$name|$target",
"$guild|$rank",
"$level",

$target and $rank would appear as right lines. This biggest problem was probably getting the tag updates to work correctly. I never managed to get it working properly. I could upload a version of RantTooltip that works with DoubleLines, but the tag variables wouldn't update at all.

Thanks. If you have any more problems, let me know.

edit: I've just thought up a potential way to make color changes easier.

The default function would look like this:

Code:

RantTooltip.Tags["$name"].func = function(unit)
   local name = UnitName(unit)
   if blabla == true then
       return RantTooltip.Tags["$name"].color[1]..name.."|r"
   else
       return RantTooltip.Tags["$name"].color[2]..name.."|r"
   end
end

The table structure would look like this:

Code:

RantTooltip.Tags = { 
   ["$name"] = { 
      func = func, color = { "|cffffffff", "|cffff0000" },
   }, 
}

So, for example, all you would need to do to change the colors in your layout:

Code:

RantTooltip.Tags["$name"].color[1] = "|cff00ff00"

I'll work on adding this in.

I'll be trying all this as soon as I can connect to wow (apparently ISP issues till Thursday) and will report back here. In regards to conditional coloring: Wouldn't it be best to move the complete tag logic to layouts then in future releases of RTT? If the whole "RantTooltip["Tags"] = {}" block was removed from the main RantTooltip.lua and shifted to the layout file, it would allow layout designers to play around with colors without having to go back and edit the main mod (which defeats the whole point of having a layout system and breaks compatibility every time a new RTT version is released). Older layouts would have to be updated accordingly (copy paste the Tags block), but that's a small price to pay. I've already seen Layouts that package modified RTT versions and I don't think that's a good direction to go. In regards to right aligned text: I'll dig around the Cowtip lua files and try to figure out how he does it. If all else fails, maybe someone from the greater mod community has an idea/tip how to implement this. Last edited by Avitus : 04-25-10 at 12:21 PM.

That would be a mess. It would be essentially useless for people who don't plan on changing every single function for their layout. Layouts are supposed to be lightweight. It would just be a waste of the entire layout system. At that point, people would be better off writing their own tooltip addon.

Thanks, but unfortunately I don't think that will help much. When I tried to add DoubleLines to the tooltip, I got everything working properly except the tooltip line updates, because its so very complicated to have tag variables update on both left and right tooltip lines. Unless CowTip had a system similar to RantTooltip, it won't be much help.

edit: BTW, I edited my post below, I've been meaning to ask you, what did you mean by faction colors on the tooltip?

Code:

(if Guild = "player":Guild then Green else (if Faction = "player":Faction then Cyan else Yellow end) end) Guild:Angle

Faction = Horde/Alliance.

It basically showed the Guild Name in green if it's your guild, cyan if it's of the same faction as you (horde/alliance) and yellow if it's from the other faction.

Anyway I have quite a few more questions, so I've sent you a PM. You've got mail

You have to install RantToolTip Options. Its a seperate addon.
Unfortunately, it also lacks documentation as to how one would open it.
