lolTip

Version: 2.2

by: Lolzen [More]

Explanation
Once i experienced Lua for the first time, i've ever since dreamed about making my very own tooltip.
Someday i really did it, and i've learned much trough this addon. It has grown very much since the release back then.

What can lolTip do?
lolTip features following Stuff:

Unitnames colors in class/reactioncolor
Level displayed in difficultycolor
Own Guild Coloring
Show GuildRank, GuildRankName next to the Guild
Target on the topright if exists
RaidIcon
Anchor changeable to follow the mouse
Hides Playertitles in Tooltip
Nicer Style if PvP is activated on mouseoverunit
ItemQualitycolored tooltipborders
Healthbar inside the Tooltip
Modifiable HealthBar-values in different Styles
-percentage (37%)
-numeral (3489/5000)
-shortened (42.3k)
-diff (-29399)
-They also can be mixed up like diff and shortened (-37.4k)
de/activateable modules
-Talents
-disable fading, and hide tooltip instant instead
-Dont popup Actionbartooltips inFight
-Buffdisplay under the Tooltip
Easy changeable colors
Support for ManyItemTooltips (Skinning)
Support for Class Colors (Custom Class Colors)

Modules Q&A
Q:So what are this modules, and why are they there anyway?
A:The modules are tiny additions to the Tooltip not everyone might wants to have activated. So they are deactivatable.
Q:I want module xy.
A:You can a) Request it, or b) make it you own and send it to me per PM, and i'll add it in the next Release. Personally i prefer b, because i want to focus on the main Addon, not the modules, but also want to give the users the chance to habe a customable, yet not bloated Addon.

Other
To modify the border and StatusBartexture, you'll have to replace the blp's. (Also tga's possible)

Configuration
The configuration will be done through lua only.
You may open tip.lua and at the very top you'll find the configuration
Also there is a little config in lolTip\modules\buffs.lua
There you can modify the maxumum auras displayed, the size of them, the x & y offsets and add filters (no worry, a small text from WoWWiki should describe it fairly easy)

Thanks to
Aezay, Cargor & Seerah
You! for Reporting bugs, and suggestions

Hope you enjoy lolTip as much as i do,
Lolzen

Tohmazz A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Greetings, So far I really like Loltip. However, I've been meaning to switch to percentage-based HP values. One of the old loltip pictures shows percentages, yet I can't seem to find the config nor the code needed to get this to work. Thanks in advance.

seems that everything is working without errors. i've been trying without addons on my 80 druid and with all addons enabled on 62 priest, for about an hour

thanks for the quick fix

Anyway, i changed the code from the GameTooltipStatusBar a bit and hope this will eliminate all this, at least u don't get an error at the login anymore. Also the Addon now checks if a unit and the text for the healthbar is available before doing something with these, so the "..text..thingy..(nil error)" should not popup anymore.
You will not see the UnitHealth right on your first target after login, but well, at least (i hope) this is a solutuon for now. [/b]

Cala A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 22 File comments: 48 Uploads: 1	Just a small bug, but an annoying one for me - on a character that's 'gray' to me (like a level 3), the guild tag shows up no problem. However, if they're same level or higher, the guild tag does not show up at all. Happens if no addons are running as well. Any clue what can be causing this?

hi, thanks for answer. sure, dont push it, RL is more important.

but, when you have time; i've been trying lolTip 2.0 without any other addon (except tekErr) enabled and with Wtf folder deleted and been getting these errors:

Code:

maybe others, but there have been many and are very similar.

some of them appeared when getting mounted, some of them when hovering over other players or NPCs

maybe a hint could be this picture:

this was without addons and wtf folder with only loltip and tekerr enabled

and this one occured with addons enabled and when i was in strand of the ancients BG with raid groups pulled out from the RAID UI:

Code:

hope you could resolve these issues, but as said, take your time

thanks

That explained and resolved that issue. Second issue I've discovered seems to be in regards to the Health-bar. Most likely same issue as leizeQ posted. I've changed where the Health-bar should be placed and it would seem that I have to /console reloadui each time I login to a character to get it back to how I want it.

janangler A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 33 Uploads: 0	Looks very decent I just had one problem besides the one described by leizeQ. For bosses the tooltip showed -1Boss. After changing line 314 from if not level or level == "-1" then to if not level or level == -1 then it worked fine and showed ??Boss.

You should delete old Addons before dragging new ones into your AddOns-folder, to prevent exactly that kind of situation =) The config is stored in tip.lua now, and i've modified it so that teh standart "PvP"-text will be overwritten by the talents (if activated) .. seems like i had forgotten to deactivate it also f the talents module isn't loaded, thanks for reminding^^ If you're talking about the (PvP) UnitName, then i've got to say that i haven't built in an option to hide that. At least for now. I'll look for a solution in the next release. @leizeQ: Thanks for the Report, once again! =) for the first bug it seems a bit weird, because i have uilt in a securitycheck if unit is avalaible, but i can't test it myself because i'm just 72, and haven't seen any real WotlK content so far, besides a few 5-man's I hope i'll hit 80 soon so i can test it myself and come up ith an solution but it might have to do something with Vehicles.. Maybe wintergrasp testing^^ The second.. hmm someone mentioned pets are the cause of this.. i wanted to look at it but forgot. As of now the process will go on slowly, because I've really got much to do on RL, but i'll see if i can get some time to spend on coding , stay tuned xP And thanks for the comliment =)

I hope the bugs will be not present in 2.0, but like i said, i just finished it today and couldn't test it at any real situation. Also it's Style is once again changed a bit, and i think it turned out very well, i like it. Last edited by Lolzen : 07-03-09 at 04:40 PM.
