TipTop

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.

Bug Reports / Feature Requests

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.

Hello, it seems like TipTop is causing Examiner(an inspect addon) to not function correctly: Examiner screenshot

Looking at TipTop, it does not request inspect talents if the default inspect frame is open, that's good. But it does not check for Examiner being open, that is why TipTop will make items in Examiner go away.

Will there be a possible fix for this problem?

Not sure if this is of any help but after using

/script ChatFrame1:AddMessage("You are hovering over frame: " .. GetMouseFocus():GetName())

all I got was Examiner.

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 10860 File comments: 687 Uploads: 33	Thanks. Since I can't test this, can you open up your tiptop.lua file (can be in WordPad, etc) and search for the word "InspectFrame". You should find this at line 258: lua Code: if InspectFrame and InspectFrame:IsShown() then tt:AddDoubleLine("Talents:", "Inspect Frame is open") directly below that, add this: lua Code: elseif Examiner and Examiner:IsShown() then tt:AddDoubleLine("Talents:", "Examiner frame is open") so that it will look like this: lua Code: if InspectFrame and InspectFrame:IsShown() then tt:AddDoubleLine("Talents:", "Inspect Frame is open") elseif Examiner and Examiner:IsShown() then tt:AddDoubleLine("Talents:", "Examiner frame is open") else NotifyInspect("mouseover") tt:RegisterEvent("INSPECT_TALENT_READY") tt:AddDoubleLine("Talents:", "...") end If it works, then I'll add it into the main file for download. __________________ "You'd be surprised how many people violate this simple principle every day of their lives and try to fit square pegs into round holes, ignoring the clear reality that Things Are As They Are." -Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] Last edited by Seerah : 06-03-09 at 08:15 AM.

However, I would like the talents on TipTop to continue to show as I seldom use the inspect talent on Examiner, is that not possible? It looks like this currently: Screenshot Also note that I am inspecting myself while hovering over another player. Edit: added screenshot. Last edited by Raynesis : 06-03-09 at 08:45 PM.

Are they common (white) quality items? There is a setting to color borders by item quality.

This is the only error I'm getting:

[2009/08/11 19:17:29-130-x1]: TipTop-1.8.8\tiptop.lua:72: attempt to index field 'bgColor' (a nil value)
TipTop-1.8.8\tiptop.lua:406: in function <Interface\AddOns\TipTop\tiptop.lua:404>

---

What's happening is that the background is transparent (it should be black). Otherwise, everything looks right.
