NotesUNeed v6.50.20400 - Telic of Dragonblight (EU)
___________________________________________________
Feature-rich, searchable Notes database with many automated features, and additional NuN tooltips for viewing note details.
Make Contact Notes on other Players, or General Notes on anything else.
This AddOn is for making your own custom notes on players, and quests, and items, etc. and does not come with any pre-made notes.
It does provide an Export and Import Feature for sharing of sets of notes, or publishing of note databases.
There is no longer an "Alternative" version of NuN, and the default Modifier keys for creating notes from Container Items and Hyperlinks is now simply "<Alt>-Left Mouse Click". For anyone unhappy with this key-Combo, then they can now specify their own via the NotesUNeed Options frame.
Below is a summary of NotesUNeed functionality, but you should read the Readme.txt file for much more detailed discussion on these subjects.

Change Log - NotesUNeed
Changes in v6.50.20400 from v6.48.20400
---------------------------------------
- Talent recording now works as intended ;p
Need to be within range when creating a new note, or using the "Target Info" button
Main NuN Tooltip for player will show talent summary
Talent details will be shown in a special tooltip when hovering over the Class box in the Note itself
Originally posted by menace97 I have noticed that my NuN tooltips don't display correctly when using TipTac. If I disable Show TipTac Unit Tips (in TipTac), I am able to see my note tips as before. It seems that if the last object moused-over is a unit, the tip won't display, but will as soon as I mouse-over a chair, sign, etc., the note tips will show up instantly.
I'll post in the TipTac addon comments as well.
Thanks.
TipTac has an option that allows you to replace the normal Blizzard Tooltip with a different one when mousing over other Players - I would have to code NuN to work with that new tooltip specifically, and I can't say when I will have time to do that atm.
Alternatively, the TipTac author could maybe still show the original GameTooltip with an Alpha setting of zero or something, so that other AddOns that could work from it....? The only question would be where to anchor it in this case....(?)

Originally posted by dreamtgm With the new WoW patch, I am now seeing the following error every time I open the Social window (and also when choosing any of the tabs in that window: Friends, Who, Guild, Chat, and Raid):
NotesUNeed.lua:7681:attempt to index local 'lBttn' (a nil value)

- NuN will now try to record Talent tree details when collecting information.
Players must be within range when you create the Note or use the Target Info button.
This information will be detailed in the Tooltip when :
a.) in the general Tooltip information for that Contact
The main Talent description will be based on the branch in which the most points have been spent
e.g. for a Shaman the description might read :
Elemental 40-7-23
b.) hovering over the Class button in the Contact note editing frame will give much more Talent details for that Player
NOTE : NuN does not try to gather this information automatically for Party/Guild members.
- fix to try and minimise the display of Contact tooltip details when hovering over General items with the same root name
- fix to note creation from Player name chat links
- can now use the NuN Modifier keys create notes directly from the AH Item buttons
i.e. the small square Item ICONS - and NOT the long main AH button with the item price, etc.
- correction to NuN Tooltip positioning when 'extra' Shopping Tooltips are displayed
- item notes from now on will ignore item Unique Identifiers, enchants, etc.
(See Section 05 "Item Notes" in the Readme for more details)
- New Option to hide NuN Notes and Tooltips for Ignored players
(Note: this only hides ignored player notes in the Note browser frame - you can still open that players note via slash commands, or Microbuttons)
(Note2: only the NotesUNeed tooltip is hidden, not the Blizzard Game Tooltip)
- small compatibility changes to SendMessage hooks (hopefully more compatible with TellTrack
- allows manual entry of names beginning with special "accented" characters e.g. Á, É, etc...
(NOTE : Names beginning with these types of characters are sorted by the game to appear AFTER "Z" alphabetically)
(BETA Functionality)
- If you send a note to someone who already has a note with the same name, then the recipient will be shown a Warning Dialog box allowing them to choose whether they want to Replace their existing note, or cancel receipt of the note and keep their original version instead.
There is now also a third option allowing the sent note to be merged with the existing note by "ALT-Clicking" on the Replace button.
When notes are merged, then the newly sent text will be appended to the end of the existing note's text. Currently, other values such as those populated in DropDown boxes will still be set according to the received note, and will replace old values in the original note.
I have re-tested, and Alt-Clicking on bag items seems fine to me.
As you can Alt-Click on chat frame links, then my first guess is there is an incompatibility with another of your AddOns (?)
e.g. Item database, or Item tracking, or a Bag Mod ?
Can you test with ONLY NuN enabled to see if that allows Alt-Clicking ?
If you can track down which AddOn is causing the problem I will be able to investigate if the problem can be solved
Great addon, was happy to find it. Got a problem with the <alt-click> method on items in my bags. Nothing happens. When i <alt-click> on itemlinks in the chat the notewindow appears, but not by clicking the containeritems. I've changed the modifier keys and clicks but it hadn't helped.
Would also be nice if you could make the addon modular, because some people (me for example^^) might just want to use the itemnotes or just the questnotes and so on.
Thanks for writing this! (and sry for my english german client)
