CowTip 3.0

Version: v1.3.1

by: ckknight [More]

**NOTE: If you are upgrading for the first time since 2.4, CowTip now uses the new LibDogTag-3.0 library. As such, many of your DogTags will need to be rewritten. Please see the in-game DogTag help or the DogTag wiki page for more info.

Tooltip of awesomeness. Moo. It'll graze your pasture.

Hey all, ckknight here, I decided to make a tooltip addon. Therefore I have, and called it CowTip (the name is funny, laugh.)

CowTip is tag-based, specifically based on DogTag-2.0, which is the same tag system that PitBull uses.

One major thing that separates it from some other mods is that it doesn't manipulate data that is already on the tooltip, it adds much more to it, but all in a way that the user can customize to the nth degree.

The goal of CowTip is to be simple, customizeable, and powerful, all at once. (Another bonus to developers is that the code is actually humanly-readable.)

Features:

Fully customizable colors, background textures, borders, and fonts
Uses the DogTag system so you can create the tooltip of your dreams
Displays raid target icons
Heath and Power bars with customizable sizes and bar textures
Ability to place anywhere on your screen
Ability to choose when to hide/show your tooltip

Skoorb A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 8 Uploads: 0	I have the latest version of CowTip, and all is working fine except for the Target line text. This is a copy/paste from the edit boxfor Target: Code: [SmartClass#mouseovertarget ? ClassColor#mouseovertarget][IsUnit#player(mouseovertarget) ? Text(<<You>>) ! [NameRealm#mouseovertarget \| Text(None)] ] I don't know much about coding in game, so I wanted to post the copy/paste and see if anyone sees anything wrong with the default text.

Skoorb A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 8 Uploads: 0	I found the solution, this was posted on the MMO Champion forums. Code: [(if Target:IsPlayer or (Target:IsEnemy and not Target:IsPet) then ClassColor(unit=Target) end) (if IsUnit('player', Target) then '<<You>>' else Target:NameRealm or 'None' end)]

Jewbat A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	How do you make THIS tooltip appear in a different place? Right now, the top left hand corner is being blocked by the cursor (Does not show in Screenshot) and I can't read the first few words. I was wondering if I could change this somehow?

Any reason the font size resets randomly? I have it set to .8 but it always resets itself. It stays on .8, but the font get's bigger and I have to change it again.

cokane A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	There's an issue with the current version of cowtip. It clashes with pitbull and the units frames stop showing up (although I'm able to hover over where it should be, and even click it).

Morriquende A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 8 Uploads: 0	I'm curious when immediate fade will be available. CowTip is nearly unusable in PvP right now because the tooltip doesn't immediately fade. It's stuck to your cursor for about 3 seconds too long and gets really, really aggravating.

lexlooter A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	as for the fading issue, i fixed it by changing "Fade/Fade.lua" as follows: function CowTip_Fade:CURSOR_UPDATE(...) self:AddTimer("CowTip_Fade_runHide", 0, runHide) end all the other contents of the function were removed. the function would call a timer when your mouseover unit is also your target unit, thus not allowing the tooltip to fade instantly. quite sure this is a very bad way to fix it, but it works. hoping for a new version soon.

Tuhljin A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 106 File comments: 233 Uploads: 10	Are we going to an update to this for WotLK? Most things still work fine, but there are some problems, such as it not recognizing the "vehicle" unit type (probably the most serious issue right now) and not recognizing the "trivial" unit classification, as well as the tooltip fading issue described by others previously and the AFK tag not showing "AFK" when the time the unit has been AFK isn't known. While I'm listing things, it'd also be nice if ReputationColor could reliably give the proper color for a given faction even if the faction is hidden because, say, it's under "Classic" and we've decided to "minimize" that section of the Reputation panel. Edit: I found an updated version on another addon site (why isn't it updated here?) - will check it out and see which of the above still applies. Edit2: A file comparison and some time in-game shows "vehicle" was added as a viable unit but the other issues remain. For anyone wanting the latest version, go to http://www.wowace.com/projects/cowtip/ and look at the "Recent files" section (don't just click the "Download" link or you may get an old version).
