TipTop

Version: 3.1.2

by: Seerah [More]

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.

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:

optional class-colored border for units (optional support for !ClassColors)
optional difficulty-colored border for units
option to display class icon before unit's name in tooltip (off by default)
various class icon textures to choose from (thanks, gossipgirlxo and Flat Player Icons!)
option to display guild rank (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, including class-colored
ability to move the tooltip or attach to cursor
can show health on statusbar in five 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
option to shorten player names
option to color player names by class

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.

When did this start? I'm not sure why that would be happening... If you delete/remove the saved variables for TipTop, does that fix it? Wondering if they got corrupt or something... sv's are founds at WTF\Account\<youraccount>\Saved Variables

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 10860 File comments: 687 Uploads: 33	Please post your error in the Bug Reports section of my portal (the link is right under the download button or in the addon's FAQ). Also, please provide additional information, such as when the error occurs, if you have any other addons that attempt to check talents, and whether the error persists for you with no other addons enabled. Thanks. It was working fine for me earlier and for my hubby right now, so any help to find the bug is going to have to come from you. __________________ "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 [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

JMHammer A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 309 Uploads: 1	Hi, Seerah. Great job! Is there any way to import settings from 1.8.9, or is 1.9 different enough that TipTop needs to be set up from scratch? I ask because when I logged in with 1.9, all of the TipTop settings were back to their defaults. So I logged out, replaced the TipTop.lua SV file with my backup, but it still shows the defaults. It's not a big deal to configure it again; I'm just wondering. Thanks again for TipTop!

All of the names and titles and stuff in the same color white gets difficult for my tired eyes late at night. Could you help me with what line of code I need to add or adjust? Thank you, I really like your tiptop addon. __________________

Braysen A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 20 Uploads: 0	Love it!!! Just one question... I love this add-on!! This just replaced TWO add-ons, saving me time and system resources. TY!! I do have one small issue... The border changes every time I log into a different character. I have it set for one profile for all characters, and it ports all the other settings except the border style. Not a big deal to change... only takes about 10 seconds to change it back... but it's a bit of a hassle. Great work! Please, please keep this add-on updated for many patches to come!

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 10860 File comments: 687 Uploads: 33	@Purity: You'd have to find the line in the tooltip (generally line 2), check to see if it is the player's guild name (it won't be if they're not in a guild), and replace it with your own version of line 2 that is colored how you want it. iirc @Braysen: I am not having an issue with the border across characters (I'm not using default settings atm)... My guess is that you are using a border included with a different addon and the border is being added to SharedMedia later than TipTop looks for it. There might be something I can do about that, I don't know right now off the top of my head. But without knowing what border and/or what addon is loading it into LSM, I can't really help. __________________ "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 [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 10860 File comments: 687 Uploads: 33	TipTop never had an instant fade feature.

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 10860 File comments: 687 Uploads: 33	Oh, it doesn't? I admit, I use a manual font replacement trick that does all fonts in the game. I'll try to remember to look into it - can you post this in the bug reports section of my portal? It's linked on the description page both in the FAQ and under the downloads button. __________________ "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 [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

I hadn't thought of that... hehe I was using the X-Perl Thin border, from X-Perl (obviously). Let me try one of the default Blizzard borders and see if that fixes the problem.
...
Switched the borders to the Blizzard Tooltip style and it stayed consistent. That style is very similar to the X-Perl Thin border I was using; very clean and easy to see the class colors.

All fixed! Thank you!!

kadist A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	I'm using a (rather small) pixel font and I had to modify the tiptop.lua a lil bit so all of the text uses the same font-size now but I wish I would understand more of the code =) What addon/s do you use to set all the fonts ? I'm trying to get all the places where I want "my" small pixelfont to be used to have a certain size but not every addon (or WoW itself) makes it easy for me.
