Compare Stats *Discontinued*  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.2-1.12
by: Dialos [More]

****I am no longer updating this mod. If you wish to get similar functionality I suggest looking at Ratings Buster which now does some similar stat Calculations to what I was trying to do here.

Ever loot a new item and it looks like it's better, but when you equipped it the stat changes weren't what you expected? Compare Stats will tell you the basic stat differences between an equipped item and one that you are moused over. Besides calculating the differences in the basic stats it will also calculate HP and mana gain/lose, attack power from strength and agility and dps based on attack power and ranged attack power.

Features:
* Calculates the difference between an equiped item's stats and one you moused over.
* Calculates HP and Mana gain or lose when either item has Stamina or Intellect. Also takes into account Tauran racial bonus of 5% to health.
* Calculates attack power gain or lose based on formulas for each class.
* Calculates the added DPS gained or lost from the attack power bonus.
* Shows attack power and DPS changes for all forms if you are a druid.
* Ranged Attack Power and DPS gained or lost.
* Compare to offhand slot by holding down the Alt key. This works with rings and trinkets as well.

Things to do/bugs:
I am working on adding more calculated stats to the tooltip; Crit%, dodge, parry, block, etc.
* Make it possible to switch between embedded data and having it's own tooltip.
* If the Gametooltip is above a certain number of lines CompareStats data will display in it's own tooltip regardless of selected mode.
* Create saved variables so user can set where the tooltip is anchored to.

Changes:
9/23/06 1.2 - Fixed the bug where the mod would not display info at first until the alt key was pressed. Should start working immediately now.
8/30/06 1.1 - Returned to embedding the data in the game tooltip for now.
Added Alt key functionality for comparing 1h weapons to the offhand. This works with rings and trinkets as well. The word "Alt" will appear in the tooltip to indicate this.
Offhand items will now compare to the main hand if a 2h weapon is equipped. The word "Main" will appear in the tooltip to indicate this.
2h weapons will now compare to both weapon slots if an offhand item is equipped. The word "Both" will appear in the tooltip to indicate this.
Confirmed that the latest version of Bagnon works without adding any additional code.
Druid stats for bear and cat form should now be correct.
Improved code to address data disappearing from the tooltip.
Using GFWTooltip.lua, GFWUtils.lua and GFWTable.lua from Fizzwidget's addons. They simplified a lot of the work I was doing. So a special thanks to Fizzwidget for some great mods and awesome work.
7/27/06 1.0 - New version number due to complete rewrite of the mod.
No longer dependent on EnhTooltip or Stubby.
Added Ranged Attack Power and Ranged DPS based on attack power.
Due to the new tooltip most should find the text to be a lot more readable at higher resolutions.
Also, the stats are grouped now, with basic stats appearing at the top of the tooltip and calculated stats coming after.
Lines of text are now colored red or a shade of red when they are negative and green or some shade of blue or yellow if they are positive.
Added a localization file.
Updated the screen shot.
Updated the TOC (no really, I did this time)
The only bug I know of deals with the tooltip when there is not an item equipped to compare to. Hopefully the author of BonusScanner gets back to me on this as I think I'm bypassing something in his mod that updates his tables.
7/23/06 0.3 - Changed the file name to reflect the current version of WoW. For some reason I put 1.10.
Changed the tooltip config to embedded to fix an issue with text going outside the tooltip. This may also fix the scaling issues some people are having. Let me know. I tested it at both 1024x768 (what I play at) and 1280x1024 and it looked good to me.
Added the latest version of EnhTooltip to the zip file. If you use Auctioneer then stay with the versions of Stubby and EnhTooltip you already have, CompareStats should work fine with any recent version.
7/21/06 0.2 - Added attack power calculations and dps based on basic stats. This only calculates dps based on attack power, it does not look at weapon stats.
7/21/06 0.1 - Initial release

Dependencies: BonusScanner (included in the zip file)

If you'd like a free program to convert your WoW screenshots into a format you can display on the internet, check out http://www.irfanview.com/ . It's free! You won't get that "Saved by trial version" type of message on your picture.

Thanks, I have that program on my home PC. Just couldn't remember where to get it and downloaded something quick. I'll post a new screenshot when I make my next update.

Working well for me.

One request: Please color statloses something other than teal to easily see what stats will decrease if I switch items. Because right now with the text so small its hard to see the minus symbol and such.

Thanks for the feedback.

That's something I'm working on for a future release. Right now I'm limited by EnhTooltip's font sizing and it colors an entire line at a time. I hope to have a version that won't need EnhTooltip at some point or if I can figure out how to modify how EnhTooltip outputs information passed to it.

I'll make sure it's on my list of things to do.

Have you considered using Ace2 at all? http://www.wowace.com/forums/index.php/board,24.0.html

Works Great!

Added to favorites! Works like charm, and is a better preference than EquipCompare for me. Thanks!

Nice addon

This is a very nice addon but I can't use as long as you use EnhTooltip. At 1900x1200 the tooltip is just too small to read. That is also the reason I had to dump Auctioneer.

I like the features of this mod, but the spearate tooltip is often hard to read. Is there a way you could code for an embed option (similar to other mods that use EnhTooltip)?

Thanks for mod nonetheless

I haven't found another interface for that so I'm posting here. The Weapon / Armor strings in the script (conditionnals) are ALL that's required for i18n of your addon. The french strings are "Arme" (Weapon) and Armure (Armor). Feel free to add them

I can also add that the informations are not clear enough imho... the order is sometimes weird, for instance, maybe you could split characterics changes, then mana, then crit/dps, etc changes.

Otherwise, great addon idea, there is definitely something here. It would be GREAT to have something like that for the ItemRack tooltip, in order to be able to compare stats changes for your items sets ! Externalize the comparison generation functions as much as possible, and this would even be easy

I will look at Ace2 and see if it will work for me.

Stubby is a dependency for EnhTooltip and is used to hook functions.

Added to favorites! Works like charm, and is a better preference than EquipCompare for me. Thanks!
I still use EquipCompare, because I like to see the item I'm comparing. Also, my addon doesn't tell you things like armor value, weapon damage, or weapon dps, because those things are easy to eyeball and see what is better. So I highly recommend that you keep using EquipCompare; it's still very useful.

This is a very nice addon but I can't use as long as you use EnhTooltip. At 1900x1200 the tooltip is just too small to read. That is also the reason I had to dump Auctioneer.
Sorry to hear that. For right now I'm using EnhTooltip, because it made coding the mod a whole lot easier and I could concentrate on the forumlas and features. Try version 0.3, I made a few changes that should scale the text with the rest of the tooltip. Let me know.

I like the features of this mod, but the spearate tooltip is often hard to read. Is there a way you could code for an embed option (similar to other mods that use EnhTooltip)?
Done.

Katana, I'll work on adding a localization Lua soon.

Interesting mod.

Being a survival specced hunter, I went to check if you were considering Lightning Reflexes. (5 ranks, add 3% to agility [items, buffs, base]).

Basically, something like:

Code:
    local _, class = UnitClass("player");

    if class == "HUNTER" then
        local _, _, _, _, currentRank = GetTalentInfo(3, 15);

        CompareStats_hunterAGIbonus = 1.0 + currentRank * 0.03
    end
will determine the bonus, then when looking at old and moused over items, multiply with this value if it's set; truncating any fractions.

RAP I noticed is commented out .. I assume this is an up & coming feature? That's cool, it's what I would be looking for (obviously, being a hunter)

Looks like this will be a very useful mod.

Hey great catch Revv, I'll get that added in for all the hunters out there.

Also Ranged Attack Power is coming. The fomulas should be good. The problem I was having with it I probably fixed when I got Attack Power working right. Just need to clean the code up a bit and test it. Will probably have it in place in the next version.
