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.


Features:
  • class-colored border for units (optional support for !ClassColors)
  • added target text line
  • "faded" tip if unit is tapped, dead, or offline
  • custom border, background, and status bar textures
  • custom background color/alpha
  • 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
  • item-quality colored border for items
  • raid icon display
  • added talent text line
  • displays (Rare), (AFK), and (DND) when possible
  • adjust tip background alpha
  • SharedMedia support



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.

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.

1.7
- added border inset option
- slight code cleanup

1.6.1
- tweaked rare notification and added rare elites to it

1.6
- can now customize the background color (setting it to white will not color your custom bg texture)

v.1.5.1

- fixed: border color issue when class colored borders are disabled
- fixed: talents changing when inspect frame is open (no longer checks for talents if inspect frame is open and gives message in tooltip)
- updated: libraries
- updated: cleaned up options code
- removed: 2.4.3 compatability code (also moving to regular tooltip download cat!)

- added option to move health bar to above the tip

v.1.4.3
- fix for alpha on dead/tapped units
- fix (hopefully) for error reported on portal by Quokka

v.1.4.2
- added option to disable <<YOU>> in target text
- unit frames are valid mouseover units again - yay!!

v.1.4.1
- code cleanup
- moved health bar back outside of the tooltip will solve lots of issues and make things easier for me
- added background for health bar
- error from mousing over targeted npc fixed, but Blizzard bug with mouseover still remains, so no class colored borders for npcs when hovering over unit frame

v.1.4
- added LibSharedMedia support
- uses AceGUI-3.0-SharedMediaWidgets to give previews of fonts/textures

v.1.3.5
- removed debug line
- reorganized TipShow function
- workaround for no mouseover unit on unit frames for class colored border

v.1.3.4
- reverted change to health text - now will display correct amounts

Please install the latest version of TipTop. If that doesn't fix your bug, then can I have some more info like when the error occurs?

Hi, it seems that the items are no longer disappearing upon inspect with the edited LUA. 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.

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:
  1. if InspectFrame and InspectFrame:IsShown() then
  2.     tt:AddDoubleLine("Talents:", "Inspect Frame is open")

directly below that, add this:
lua Code:
  1. elseif Examiner and Examiner:IsShown() then
  2.     tt:AddDoubleLine("Talents:", "Examiner frame is open")

so that it will look like this:
lua Code:
  1. if InspectFrame and InspectFrame:IsShown() then
  2.     tt:AddDoubleLine("Talents:", "Inspect Frame is open")
  3. elseif Examiner and Examiner:IsShown() then
  4.     tt:AddDoubleLine("Talents:", "Examiner frame is open")
  5. else
  6.     NotifyInspect("mouseover")
  7.     tt:RegisterEvent("INSPECT_TALENT_READY")
  8.     tt:AddDoubleLine("Talents:", "...")
  9. end


If it works, then I'll add it into the main file for download.

Not sure if this is of any help but after using

all I got was Examiner.

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

Quote:
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?

Talking Fixed my fps drops, and not wrong with TipTop

I have the same problem. I can agree on above exlusion, its not TipTop.

Why i can say that is following:

1: i did disable TipTop and after 20-30min lagg started to accure.
2: i put TipTop back, same result.
3: i disabled TipTop AND Mobinfo 2. (no fps drop what so eva)
4: i put back TipTop, and still no fps drop.
5: i put back mobinfo 2, and fps drops came back.

So in my case, mobinfo 2 and tiptop sorta dont work together, and mobinfo 2 seems to inflict other INFO mobs addons (perhaps beacuse of some new libs that mobinfo 2 dosent support; mi2 )

Thats my solution of my problem, for just the fps drop issue.
