TipTop   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
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.


NOTE: Options are reset with 1.9!


2.0 is RELEASED! Please delete your old TipTop directory before updating.

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)
  • 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
  • ability to move the tooltip or attach to cursor
  • can show health on statusbar in three 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



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.
  Change Log - TipTop
2.4
- fiddled with padding between statusbar and frame border when the health bar is inside
- can now color the border by level difficulty (if class and difficulty are *both* selected, friendly units will be colored by class, and others will be by difficulty)
- changed hp display for units with no maxhp (ex. walls in WG) so that maxhp is 1 - this displays their current health, at least, instead of forcing the text to be blank
- fix for random/rare error with talents

2.3.2
- refix for talent spam

2.3.1
- hopefully fixed: nil error and repeating icon bug
- fixed: minimum width for tooltip (code is for aesthetics and to fit in health display)
- updated: libs and TOC number

2.3
- Fixed: talent text spamming the tooltip for some raid frames
- Fixed: Elite graphic not obeying its checkbox in options
- Added: option to display class icon next to name in tooltip (off by default)

2.2
- you can now set the font flags for the tooltips' text (Outline, etc)
- if you have the elite graphic enabled, it will now show for bosses too

2.1.1
- added support for WorldMapTooltip
- fixed health percent display for "units" with no health (gates in Wintergrasp, for example)

2.1
- added a couple additional checks to silence a couple errors
- added some additional options for profiles (copy from default profile and reset profile)

2.0.1
- fixed error for custom created frames/tooltips that try to look like the game tooltip - let me know if something's still awry
- fixed an oopsie - target text works again (had accidentally deleted the line that called its function >.< )

2.0
- semi-rewrite of 1.x
- the ability to have the health bar inside the tip is back
- rearranged options
- new health bar color option
- added an elite/rare elite graphic option for hubby
- changed directory structure and pushed media into a media subdirectory

1.9.1
- changed short slash command from /tt to /tip so as not to interfere with tell-target addons (if you don't use an addon that uses /tt already, then no need to update)

1.9

- removed AceDB-3.0 - wasn't using it for much anyway
- added in a form of profile support (can use either global or character specific settings)

1.8.9
- no longer hold a local copy of NotifyInspect (or CanInspect, even)
- updated libs
- bumped TOC number

1.8.8

1.8.6
- update libs
- toc bump for 3.1

1.8.5

1.8
***I suggest deleting your TipTop folder before updating to this version***

health bar color option

I'm experiencing some slight difficulty in changing the color of the health bar. The color chosen through the color picker will only apply to the health bar if you are mouseover on a target while setting the option, as soon as I move the cursor, the color returns to the default health bar color despite the previous selection via the color picker.

No LUA errors to report, so this is the the best I can offer.

http://img36.imageshack.us/i/wowscrn...1010021214.jpg <- just selected the color from the color picker

http://img101.imageshack.us/i/wowscr...1010021302.jpg <- moved my mouse to another target and the color resets to the default

Talent text only on raid / group members

May I suggest adding an option to enable talent text for raid / group members only?

Thanks very much.

Ahh... I didn't have a chance to look at the patch last night and just assumed.

If Comcast sees fit to ever give me steady internet again, I can stop using my phone and start getting work done! :$

Thanks - will have a look later.

This is a patch for TipTop ! (that is at r67 according to svn.wowinterface.com).

BTW I don't think TipTop would have any benefit in using LibTalentQuery.

r67? r82 is the most recent version of the lib.

Also, that patch should go to the lib's authors. Addons shouldn't include modified versions of libraries.

Here is a patch for r67 that introduces talent cache and throttling.

http://pastebin.com/ZKb9iPPb

What is does:
- use cached talent data whenever possible, while still trying to update them,
- hook NotifyInspect and use every INSPECT_TALENT_READY to feed the talent cache even if TipTop did not initiate the query (this allows to play nice with any other inspecting addon),
- do not query talents more than once every 2 seconds,
- clear the talent cache when entering combat or changing zone, to free some memory.

Pro: with cached data, often display the talent quickier,
Con: sometimes show "throttling" on "new" units; cache memory usage to be determined, though it only store strings.

Throttling isn't really the point of the library. It's more about queuing queries for different characters (e.g. group members). IMO some kind of limited caching could be sufficient.

I haven't decided yet.

That's odd... I did have it as "Name" instead of "Title"... But WoW and OptionHouse, etc. picked it up just fine for display purposes...

weird

Thanks, will be fixed whenever I upload a new version. For now, you can just open the .toc file in any text editor and make the simple change yourself.

No, it shouldn't be. Do you have a screenshot? Does it happen all of the time? Does it happen with all other addons disabled? More information, the better when reporting bugs.
