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.

Try changing line 524 of tiptop.lua from this:
Lua Code:
  1. if event == "UPDATE_MOUSEOVER_UNIT" then
to this:
Lua Code:
  1. if event == "UPDATE_MOUSEOVER_UNIT" and tt:IsShown() then

Would you like to elaborate on that a little bit more?

This doesn't fix it, which was predictable as the GameTooltip is fading out.

Is that event handler really required since you can hookscript "OnSetUnit" ?

There is definitely something broken with TipTop.

I dont know which version i was using, but the moment i upgraded to the one active on the site now the FPS in the raid went down.

This happened 20 mins ago, since 5.4.1 came into Europe now and i checked if TipTop had an update etc etc, i just copied the old version i had saved up and no FPS issues.

No LUA errors, but this is at patch 5.4.1 not 5.4, so there might be a change that causes that.

Not sure if it is outdated but i use it since its the cleanest and easiest tooltip to customize. In TipTac foe example its nearly impossible to change the border color and background texture without going into the lua files.

Would enjoy a update for WOD and the option to display names in the class color. Disabeling titles would be cool as well

Edit: found a bug where tooltips with a higher width like "Vendorprice 43g, 75s, 00c" will end in a copper icon int he toltip border.

There are so many other ways to show class with TipTop. The default UI uses the name color for faction/reaction info, and I wish for it to remain this way. (TipTop just reskins the default tooltip, after all.)

Disabeling titles would be cool as well
I will think about this one more time, but I have always said "no" to this request in the past.

Edit: found a bug where tooltips with a higher width like "Vendorprice 43g, 75s, 00c" will end in a copper icon int he toltip border.
Do you have a screenshot of this? (/edit: I can picture what you are describing, but I haven't ever had this experience. Is this information added to the tooltip by another addon?)

A question

Hello Seerah,

Lovely addon but I have a question. When you mouseover a unit, or a buff or debuff, the tooltip appears where one would expect it to (where you have it set with the options in the addon). However when you mouse over an item or a spell on your action bars, the tooltip anchors to the mouse. I also noticed that those last two (spell and item) are different tooltips, as one can be moved by moveanything and the other cannot. The interesting thing is that the borders i have setup with your addon seem to apply to all three categories of tooltip, yet I can only move one with your addon.

So in short

There appears to be three types of tooltip (maybe more):

1. Hovering over unit, buffs, or debuffs. Skinned and moved by your addon.

2. Hovering over items in bags or banks etc. Skinned by your addon but not moved, can be moved with moveanything.

3. Hovering over menu options or spells on an action bar. Skinned by your addon but does not seem to be movable by anything (your addon, moveanything, any option in blizz default that I could find).

My question, uuuuuhhhhh your thoughts i guess? I would love to be able to either move all three or skin them separately.

Thank you for all your work

Hi there,

Is there any possibility we could have 'race & class' appear when mousing over dead targets? As far as I can tell, these are replaced with 'corpse' by default. It would make combat ressing a lot easier if I can tell what class I have at mouseover.

Just to add, I can get round this problem by enabling 'class icons'. However, I would prefer the cleaner look with them disabled.

Thanks,
