TipTacTalents

Version: 20.10.31

by: Aezay [More]

TipTacTalents - Show Player Talents in Tooltips
Using this addon, you will see the talent specialization of players added to the tooltip.

A cache up to 25 is stored for the last scanned players, so you quickly can see their talents again without having to wait for talents to load.

To avoid inspect issues, TipTacTalents will not request talents if you have an inspect frame open.
That includes the default inspect frame, as well as the addon Examiner.

There is no command line switch or configurable options for TipTacTalents when used alone.
Using TipTac and TipTacOptions however, you can change the cache size and the option to turn it on or off.

This addon is also included as part of the TipTac package, but is released here on it's own, for those who do not need special tip customisations.
You can find the main TipTac addon package here:

- Actually fixed the "InspectPaperDollFrame.lua" error this time, no really, I swear!

- Major rework of how TipTacTalents is allowed to inspect, these changes have been done to lessen the strain on the inspection routines.

- Unit GUID is now used to make sure the returning data from an inspect request, is indeed who we wanted data on.

- Optimised the code a bit.

TipTacTalents Changes | 2009 Mar 13
- Occasionally the TipTac fadeout could get halted because of an update from TipTacTalents, I've fixed this by not allowing TipTacTalents to call "GTT:Show()" to resize the tip during fadeout.

TipTacTalents Changes | 2009 Mar 12
- After some more testing with adjusting the trottle time, it seems that compeltely removing it, that is setting it to zero, actually seems like the best solution, at least this is where I found the least mixed talents. Please let me know if you're still seeing wrong specs in the tips.
- Made some minor code changes.

TipTacTalents Changes | 2008 Nov 05
- Increased the throttle time for talent queries from 0.25 to 0.75 sec, hopefully that fixes some more of the problems with wrong talents listed on tips. But they will still occur with rapid mouse moving.

TipTacTalents Changes | 2008 Oct 22
- TipTacTalents will no longer request talents when the default inspect window is open, just like it already does when the Examiner addon is open.

TipTacTalents Changes | 2008 Oct 16
- Changed the TOC version to 30000 for the Wrath of the Lich King patch.
- When Examiner is installed, and opened, TipTacTalents will not request talent info, as this would cause problems in Examiner's talent tab.

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 737 Uploads: 18	Dainton Yes there is, but you will have to edit the lua file. Tenelov Not really sure what you mean, why wouldn't it work adding a line to the tooltip? And the code change you posted makes a completely new frame to add the talents in, that doesn't really seem as handy as adding it to the tooltip.

Delena Good idea, I've increased it to 25. But I probably wont be releasing a new one before version 3.0

Delena A Cyclonian Forum posts: 49 File comments: 19 Uploads: 3	Very nice addon I'm using it as TinyTip library script, works fine. But why do you cache only 10 telents builds? Why not 25? It would be nice don't get loadings in a pve raid while I'm healing. I know I can mod it by myself. However thanks. Last edited by Delena : 10-03-08 at 08:00 PM.

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 737 Uploads: 18	Pseudopod & evilimp I've tried to reproduce this many times, but I've been unable to, so there isn't much I can do to fix this. As for the inspect talent frame changing when you mouse over another player, there isn't much to do about this if you want tips to show talent spec of the person as they use the same function.

Blank Tooltip Error

Originally posted by Pseudopod
So the problem I noticed that relates to TiptacTalents: Sometimes I can't see the item tooltips when I inspect someone. It just says Finger, Trinket, Legs, Hands etc.
It seems totally random but if I disable TipTacTalents, I can't reproduce the bug buy inspecting numerous people, whereas when it is enabled, usually it happens sooner rather than later. No error messages.

Also when I inspect a talent tree, it changes based on who's my mouse-over target. I don't know if that's intentional or not, but I'd like it to not behave like that.

I'm getting this error as well. It will happen eventually, and then consistently happen. The tooltip will happen when I mouseover someone, then use /inspect. The tooltip will say something like "Offhand" and nothing else. It will happen to both alliance and horde targets, and targets that are nearby.

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 737 Uploads: 18	Dixon Butz I've heard of people who had the option menu not show correctly if they had MetaHUD installed, but I was never able to reproduce it, and I really couldn't see how that addon could interfere with TipTacOptions.

Dixon Butz A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 13 File comments: 61 Uploads: 2	Working fine now And I just installed tiptac. Wow very nice! Thx I had a small bug with tip tac. But I can't reproduce it. I changed options on one toon. Then logged on my main. Bought up optons and it was blank. The menu on the left was there and so was the three bottom buttons. Only happened once so far. No biggie Edit: I have seen this bug again on the options menu in TipTac. This time it wasn't completely blank. If I chose general, only a few of the options on the right were shown. Same with Seecial, Colors, and all the rest. Reloading the GUI fixes it. Last edited by Dixon Butz : 04-06-08 at 05:24 PM.

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 737 Uploads: 18	Dixon Butz It's not like I earn money on making this, so you don't really threaten me with that attitude. Instead you should try and find out exactly what conditions it takes for this error to happen, be more specific, because I am unable to reproduce the problem. Anyways, in case you are even interested, the error should be fixed for the next release.
