TipTop  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

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.

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.

knowing the actual errors would be helpful... Open a bug report at my portal, if you will.

Whilst I am unable to give the exact error text (Swatter doesn't catch them but the default error handler does), I am able to produce it by running (amongst others):

Titan Panel
Broker Factions
Spam Sentry

Tooltips for these latter two items (Broker related I think) do not appear and cause the errors. LibQTip is also mentioned with regard to Ackis Recipe List.

I will see what I can do to report the exact error text...ta-da! Yay! I did it!

Code:

For now, change line 58 of tiptop.lua from
Code:
tt:SetBackdrop(nil)
to
Code:
tt:SetBackdrop({})
(ie, take out the nil and add an empty table) to see if that bandaids it.


I'll play with it more tomorrow (past my bedtime atm). We may end up ditching inside health bars again (at least ones up top).

Crisis averted! I can still make the backdrop to the tooltip invisible, showing the custom background frame, and allow addons that create custom tooltips/frames that act like tooltips query the client to see what the tooltip should look like.

Let me know if something still doesn't work right.

cursor anchor

Sorry if this already has been asked, but

Is it possible to add an option for the anchor of the tooltip anchored to the cursor? (when the "On Cursor" is checked, obviously)

because atm its the BOTTOM anchor used, and when I mouse-over a pack of mob to cast my Blizzard, the tooltip is convering the mobs and its hard to see how many remains.

@ Coldfury and Cashtro:

From the addon's FAQ:
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.

/edit: my suggestion is usually to place the tooltip more in your field of vision or to alter the transparency of the tooltip.

I already know how to do it, but I've stated numerous times that it seems "hackish" and I don't intend on adding it at all.

QTip errors are gone now thanks, but there's another unrelated long-standing issue that I just figured out - I'll make a bug report ticket for that one.

Guys, how many times do I have to ask you to put bug reports in my portal? I'm gonna stop replying to them here and/or just deleting them from the comments after tonight.

@ Gruffness: try changing line 271 from
Code:
if target and target ~= UNKNOWN then
to
Code:
if target and target ~= UNKNOWN and tclass then
If you don't have an editor with line numbers, then just search for that code and you'll find it. Let me know if it seems to fix it. Seems like it should, but I haven't raided in ages.

@ Tinuviel: When did you get this error? What were you doing/what item/etc? Bug reports are great, but 99.9% of the time it's best to give as much info as possible when reporting something. Thanks.

Well, that's the problem...it was a completely random thing. I'd just logged in and I saw the error pop up.
