TooltipExchange  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.1.36597
by: usz [More]

Introduction
Full item info database addon with advanced search capabilities. Main difference from LootLink/ItemSync is that this mod has builtin communication module, that allows searching other people databases. Addon also contains Memo lists, which are user created item lists like: tank wishlist, dps wishlist etc or just boss drops lists. Those Memo lists can be set to either private or public mode. If public mode is chosen, they can be browsed by other mod users remotly. Items which are found on remote clients are transfered over communication channel and their tooltips are reconstructed locally, allowing browsing of never seen before items.

Features
* Ace2 based.
* Searches are performed globally on current communication channel.
* Searching by: item name, rarity, equip location, stat (like crit%, AP, resistance etc).
* Finding items similar to given item.
* Memo lists (user defined custom item lists).
* Remote Memo lists (browsable by other users).
* Detailed database statistics.
* Customizable item rarity filer for storing items.
* Locale item cache mining and database updating options.
* Item scanner module with toggable sources.
* Supports Guild addon communication channel or custom channel.
* Version check for set communication channel.
* Options to disable scanner/communication while in combat.
* Chat box link auto completion on TAB key or specific link on "]"

Notes
* Item database is empty by default. To populate it with items from local item cache use "Database -> Mine Cache" option.
* This addon is not designed for low memory usage. As all searches are sent to every client using it, its main optimizations are for fast searching. Also presisting full item tooltip data requires adequate memory consumption.
* Patterns arent stored in database, yet the ones in local item cache are now fully browsable.
* Item set details arent stored in database, that is items names of set parts and set bonuses.

Credits
I would like to thank all authors of numerous Ace2 based addons for their hard work and ideas, that allowed me to code TooltipExchange the way it is done.

- Tablet support code for Version Query and Statistics
* Detox by Maia

Its hard to say to be honest. It might even use more memory, because it allows searching items via specific stats (like look for items with 20 or more nature resistance) and in order to be able to process such searches extremly fast, its needed to store a little more data.

Now about features. Main difference from LootLink/ItemSync is that this mod has builtin communication module, that allows searching other people databases. Addon also contains Memo lists, which are user created item lists like: tank wishlist, dps wishlist etc. Those Memo lists can be set to either private or public mode. If public mode is chosen, they can be browsed by other mod users remotly.
