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

Yes, this issue is well known by me, i even wrote it in the "toDo & Known Issues" part ;P
First i wanted to fix this before an update, but then i changed my mind. In the past days i couldn't fix this right, and to my bad, i don't have much time these days :S
Because this is only a small bug (i think), i thoght it would be the best to share my work so far, and leave it like that until i've got a solution :>

Anyways, thanks for the hint ;D

There are some buffs that do not produce a tooltip, Elemental Power and Hellfire Superiority are the ones I tested it on.

Hmm, I can mouse over Hellfire Superiority now, but that's because it's the only buff I have on, it seems like the problem is I can't mouseover anything that isn't the first on my buff list :S

Edit: I also get this error every once and again: attempt to concatenate a nil value on line 254 of core.lua.

I'll look into that one.
Also will try again to prevent the thing with target behind healthbar.

...it seems like the problem is I can't mouseover anything that isn't the first on my buff list :S
I don't know why you have this issue. I in different Areas, different Chars, different Buffs, all seemed to work fine.

Edit: I also get this error every once and again: attempt to concatenate a nil value on line 254 of core.lua.
I think i have a trace what it could be.

I got another problem. I am using QuestHelper, and it must show quest progress on tooltip. But text doesnt fit and i see only part of it.
I'll try to prevent this, hang on.

I am getting this error a lot, but I'm not exactly sure when it happens :\
I think i did a stupid thing, should be fixed with the next update (coming this weekend), sry >.<

--------

I just uploaded the new zip (not rar, zomg!)
Sorry, but I didn't had much time this Weekend (birthday Party, guests and much alcohol oO), but i promise, when i have the time to do, and not leveling my Warrior, i look at the code once again =)

I seem to be encountering this problem where when I inspect someone, I can't see their gear, just says "Head" or "Boots" in the tooltip :S Not sure if this has been reported already. Also, is there anyway to make it so when you're inspecting someone and mouse over another person that it doesn't switch to that person? Thanks.

Umm, i don't know, but when i'm inspecting somone all GearParts working Perfectly fine, and it doesn't switch to the Mouseovertarget at all. May it be another Addon interfering? Please test if this occours when just activated lolTip.

90% of the time, the gear parts are there, but there are certain occasions where it just disappears :S The mouseover thing has been fixed by deleting this addon that I got from Neal's UI, nCore.

EDIT: Deleting nCore did not fix it :S

Anchoring the tooltip to the cursor was simple enough, but I've been beating my head against a wall trying to get it to offset from the mouse how I want it to. Any ideas?

You should edit tooltip:SetOwner(parent,"ANCHOR_CURSOR") to tooltip:SetOwner(parent,"ANCHOR_CURSOR", X, X) where "X" is a number of your liking.

I've not been able to get this restored myself yet, seeing as I've not dealt with tooltips a lot. But I'd like to show the pvp flag again :P
