lolTip  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

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

I made some changes to core.lua in my installation, put it in a pastebin with a link below. Didn't do much, just fixed the nil concatenation error and made it shorten health values eg. 7580000/10500000 becomes 7.58m/10.5m

I personally like the shortened numbers and figured I'd post it in case you did too, if not then ignore me I won't take offense :P

http://pastebin.ca/1250150

EDIT: Ok still getting the concatenation error, will keep playing.
EDIT #2: Seems to be working but just forcing shortNum() to return a string when the value is 0 seems messy

Sorry to keep you guys waiting. I just didn't felt to work on lolTip the last days and enjoyed the Game.
I'll see what i can do to prevent the errors.
I plan adding the feature with offsets at Mouse_anchor,
and maybe a new Border (i'll leave the old on in the folder if you like that one better)

So, hang on and thanks for your patience

Odd bug(?)... When the statusbar is outside of the tooltip (as the normal tooltip) the targetbar wont show if i can retrieve talent data from them, if i have it inside the tooltip, both lines are show properly.

Just one quick follow up since I've been using since 3.0.2 went live.

1. The tooltip spec numbers (aka 5/51/5 etc) only work for same fraction correct?
2. Occasionally when I inspect someone, while mousing over their items nothing is displayed except for the name of that slot (Head, Chest etc) - has happen quite a few times but can seem to reproduce it.
3. As above, sometimes Specs load when mousing over players, sometimes a blank gap appears anyway to fix that?
4. Lastly, is there anyway to have Specs ONLY shown for players - when mousing over NPCs (aka was in Kara last nite) I get made numbers haha.

Thanks!

Totally agree with hashy_mika here - having offsets for MouseoverAnchor would be WONDERFUL.

Atm I'm having to use another mod because I can't stand the tooltip completely covering the person I'm trying to see stats on - offsetting it to the right of tooltip would be awesome.

PLEASE consider it!
