tekKompare  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 6.0.0.10-Beta
by: Tekkub [More]

tekKompare is my own personal replacement for EquipCompare and similar addons. It's super-small, designed to do two things:

  • Give you always-on compare tooltips
  • Show tooltips for links in chat when hovering over them
If you want to disable the hovertips, just delete the HoverTips.lua file.

CharactersViewer compatible?

I haven't signed up for Google groups, so I'm responding here.

Does this work with CharactersViewer?

For instance, when you switch CharactersViewer to look at an alt, then you cursor over an item, does it show the compare from the alt, like EquipCompare does?

No, and it never will. The aim of the mod (and basically all my mods) is simplicity, utility, and speed. Frankly I feel that the feature you're asking for should be built into CharactersViewer, it seems the more logical place to me.

Thank you for the answer.

The last time someone made another EQ type thingie, it didn't do what I asked about, either. I am very happy with the CV/EQ combination; it works well. I was merely curious to find out if your version worked that way.

Aye, I'm aiming for the simple basic functionality here. Really it wouldn't be that hard for CV to override the methods that I use to show it's own compare tips when it's got an alt's data up. To me that's a much cleaner solution than to rely on a second addon to do it.

This zip file seems to be corrupted. I cannot open it with either WinZip or unzip on OSX.

Code:
Archive:  tekKompare-2.0.3.246.zip
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
note:  tekKompare-2.0.3.246.zip may be a plain executable, not an archive
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of tekKompare-2.0.3.246.zip or
        tekKompare-2.0.3.246.zip.zip, and cannot find tekKompare-2.0.3.246.zip.ZIP, period.

It's a RAR, aparently the WinRAR command line isn't smart enough to look at the extension... bastards. I'll fix it when I gets home.

Tekkub and not using Ace?

Or is it just that small that there is absolutely no need to ace this?

It runs entirely off like 3 hooks, and hooks are faster to do by hand. Besides it doesn't have any options or what have you, so there's no need for an underlying library just for hooks.

Feature Request

Well, I don't see a way on GCode to add a feature request.

Would you consider adding a key modifier option to hide the tooltip unless ctrl/shift/and-or/alt are held? I've tried TipOnDemand with tekKompare and didn't like it.

I want this addon to be super simple, adding toggleable features requires a DB and slash commands and... nope, sorry.

Then I'm guessing the ability to get a tooltip when hovering over a link (like eqcompare) is not something you'd be interested in either? Perhaps, it could be a module so you wouldn't have to add a db or slash commands.

Yea, EQCompare was the base mod that I whittled down for this, and hover links were just fluff to me. I wasn't aiming for a robust feature-full mod here, just the basic compare tips all the time like EquipCompare always gave me.

I can include Dongle if need be for DB and slashes, but these feature requests haven't been too compelling to me so far

You can put your own key modifier in, by updating Tekkub's code. There's not much of it, and it's easy to poke around in.

I changed line 73 from:
if not slot or not GetInventoryItemLink("player", slot) or then return end

to:

if not slot or not GetInventoryItemLink("player", slot) or not IsControlKeyDown() then return end

There is also IsShiftKeyDown() and IsAltKeyDown(). You can mix and match those to create your own custom modifier chord. IsModifierKeyDown() checks if any of true for Alt, Ctrl, or Shift being down. There may also be a better place to slip that edit in, but that worked for me and it seemed like a good place to throw a short circuit in.

It's your code. You can do what you want, or not do what you don't want. But you aren't going to win over any fans by blowing them off like this. And by submitting your code to WoWInterface, you clearly want fans.

You could have provided the solution that doggabone did -- either in this forum, or in the code but commented out so a user *COULD* uncomment it and be happy. No DB, no options menu - just old school hard coding to keep your code simple and streamlined.

You also completely ignored the fact that you ask for feature requests on gcode, but there's no bloody link to add feature requests in gcode.

Good luck with your "piss off, don't care about your wants" attitude towards your userbase.

I'll stick with authors like Maul of TrinityBar that actually, you know, care about user requests - especially simple ones.
