PhanxTooltip

Version: 7.3.5.0

by: Phanx [More]

I am no longer developing or maintaining World of Warcraft addons. I haven't played in years, and don't have the time or interest to continue working on addons for a game I don't play anymore. If you are an addon author interested in continuing one of my addons, please see https://phanx.net/addons/. If you are an addon user, sorry, but there won't be any more fixes or updates from me.

Simple tooltip modifications.

Border is colored by item type/quality, NPC reaction, or player hostility/class
Player names and classes are colored by dead/tapped/class
Hostile NPC and player levels are colored by difficulty
Target names are added to unit tooltips
Health bar is moved inside the tooltip
Icons are added for raid targets and linked items, spells, and achievements
PvP status moved from its own space-wasting line to the level/class line for hostile players, hidden for friendlies
Useless text (vanity titles, faction names, coalesced realm descriptions, fake level info on wild battle pets) is hidden
Coalesced realm names are marked with the traditional asterisk (*); permanently connected realms are not marked
Background and border colors are fixed (no more ugly navy blue background on mailboxes etc.)

IMPORTANT: There are no options, and none will be added, so don't ask. If you don't like how this addon works by default, and don't know how to change the code yourself, use some other tooltip addon. Posts on this page asking how to change the code will be deleted.

Language Support

Compatible with all languages. However, I didn't test in every language, so if something looks strange in your locale, please post a comment with a description and/or screenshot of the issue so I can fix it.

Feedback

Post a comment. If you are reporting a bug, please first make sure you have the latest version from this page, and then include detailed instructions I can follow to reproduce the bug myself, whether the bug still happens when all other addons are disabled, and the exact text of the accompanying error message (if any) from Bugger.

Fonts in the screenshot are Grad (serif) and DejaWeb (sans-serif). Border and bar textures are from another (private) addon. Colored "collected" text in the battle pet tooltip is from Better Battle Pet Tooltip.

Version 7.3.5.0

Tooltip is now hidden during combat unless a modifier key is pressed
Tooltip is now anchored to the cursor for units and objects in the game world

What exactly needs to be fixed? Can you post a screenshot?

As far as I can tell by reading the Blizzard UI code, WorldMapTooltip is still the actual tooltip object, while WorldMapTooltip.BackdropFrame is only used to display a texture, so attempting to call tooltip methods on WorldMapTooltip.BackdropFrame will just throw errors because they don't exist. However, I don't have an active subscription, so I have no access to test any of the new Legion world quests personally.

nomad980 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 9 Uploads: 0	Hey Phanx, Noticed an issue that I have been trying to correct. The unit tooltips show an additional line. An example of this: "Level 100 Blood Elf Hunter (Player)" This happens right after changes made in line 362, which change the line to: "10 Blood Elf Hunter" I am taking a wild guess and thinking that its probably units that have more then 4 lines already in the tooltip. Edit> Ok, figured it out. I went looking and found line 433 commented. left[line + 1]:SetText(nil) Removed the comment, and appended it to line 364. That seems to have fixed the issue. Thank you for the minimalist, cleanest addon. Last edited by nomad980 : 09-04-16 at 11:43 PM.

No need for me to reinvent the wheel. Give this one a try. __________________ Retired author of too many addons. Message me if you're interested in taking over one of my addons.

blackytemp/Nîm A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Update for 7.0.3 Here are some quick fixes to stop the error flood in 7.0.3: Line numbers are for the unmodified, downloaded addon. Core.lua LINE 375 Old code: Code: local tapped = UnitIsTapped(unit) and not UnitIsTappedByPlayer(unit) and not UnitIsTappedByAllThreatList(unit) Change to: Code: local tapped = UnitIsTapDenied(unit) LINE 475 Old code: Code: if UnitIsTapped(target) and not UnitIsTappedByPlayer(target) and not UnitIsTappedByAllThreatList(target) then Change to: Code: if UnitIsTapDenied(target) then LINES 512-518 I didn't bother with fully fixing the functionality here, so it's semi-bandaid, but it shouldn't make a vital difference in practice. Old code: Code: L["Trade Goods"] = select(6, GetAuctionItemClasses()) local ignoreSubType = { [(select(13, GetAuctionItemSubClasses(6)))] = true, -- Other [(select(14, GetAuctionItemSubClasses(6)))] = true, -- Item Enhancements } Change to: Code: L["Trade Goods"] = _G.GetItemClassInfo(LE_ITEM_CLASS_TRADEGOODS) local ignoreSubType = { ["tempfix"] = false, -- Other } Localization.lua LINE 23 Old code: Code: L["Quest"] = select(10, GetAuctionItemClasses()) Change to: Code: L["Quest"] = _G.GetItemClassInfo(LE_ITEM_CLASS_QUESTITEM) Can't guarantee things actually work 100% fine with this but I haven't gotten a LUA error so far. Blizz changed a bunch about the AuctionItemClasses functions so related functionality might not work correctly even if it doesn't throw LUA errors. I'll update the post if I encounter any.

Barjack A Black Drake Forum posts: 89 File comments: 58 Uploads: 7	Thanks for uploading this. I'd been trying to maintain a local copy of an absolutely ancient tooltip mod (RantTooltip) and keep it working just for my own sake, but it ultimately became way too much work and I needed to start over. This was a great base to work from, got it mimicking my old layout in an afternoon and I've yet to encounter any problems. Cheers!

I changed Code: -- Level, class if pvp then left[line]:SetFormattedText("%s%d\|r %s%s %s\|r (%s)", lhex, level, "\|cffeeeeee"--[[ chex]], race, class, PVP_ENABLED) else left[line]:SetFormattedText("%s%d\|r %s%s %s\|r", lhex, level, "\|cffeeeeee"--[[ chex ]], race, class) end line = line + 1 to Code: -- Level, class if pvp then left[line]:SetFormattedText("%s%s\|r %s%s %s\|r (%s)", lhex, level > 0 and level or "??", "\|cffeeeeee"--[[ chex]], race, class, PVP_ENABLED) else left[line]:SetFormattedText("%s%s\|r %s%s %s\|r", lhex, level > 0 and level or "??", "\|cffeeeeee"--[[ chex ]], race, class) end line = line + 1 and now it shows "??" (minus the quotes) as I had originally expected it to. Just wanted to post this in case it is helpful to others. __________________ (\ /) ( . .) <( ♥ if you say 'plz' because it's shorter than 'please' then I'll say 'no' because it's shorter than 'yes' ♥ ) c('')('')

Nevermind, I think it might be related to some custom code. I had moved the faction text and apparently didn't check properly what I was moving. Sorry to waste your time

I'll disable that code and keep an eye open if it happens again.

Disabled PhanxTooltip addon, Blizz' tooltips worked fine, re-enabled PhanxTooltip and they were back. Strange. Either way, the first person I found produced the bug Normally its more of the rare kind, something along one in twenty or so. Happens in raids, at the temple, in the open world - couldn't see a pattern there. Code: GameTooltipTextLeft1:GetText() => "\|cffffffffMithrandyr\|r" GameTooltipTextLeft2:GetText() => "\|cffffffff90\|r \|cffeeeeeeBlutelf Priester\|r" GameTooltipTextLeft3:GetText() => nil GameTooltipTextLeft4:GetText() => nil GameTooltipTextRight1:GetText() => nil GameTooltipTextRight2:GetText() => nil GameTooltipTextRight3:GetText() => "\|cffff2020@ \|cff33ff33San die Sanfte\|r\|r" GameTooltipTextRight4:GetText() => nil I'm on a Mac, using BetterBattlePetTooltip as well and have TipTac/ItemTooltipCleaner installed but disabled. There's also custom info on talents/role but that's just adding lines and shouldn't conflict. __________________ It all starts to make a creepy kind of sense.

Does it seem to happen only in certain situations (fior example: only on enemy players in BGs) or not? Do you have any other addons modifying the tooltip? Can you post a screenshot next time you notice it happening? __________________ Retired author of too many addons. Message me if you're interested in taking over one of my addons.

Is this behavior known/intended? __________________ It all starts to make a creepy kind of sense. Avatar

Any standalone addon that adds this (or any other info) to the tooltip should work fine, but I don't know of any offhand. __________________ Retired author of too many addons.
