Colours the tooltip by progress.

Change Log - QueTip

2.5 - Fixed missnamed function calls (damn dry coding).

2.4 - Will properly handle 2 quests with the exact same objective.

2.3 - Fixed missnamed variable (thanks Zidomo)

2.2 - Hooking is now fixed.

2.1 - Fixed references to nil tooltip variable (note: stop modifying code just before releasing it, or at least test your changes first for stupid mistakes like this one

)

2.0 - Now updated to 3.1 QuestTooltip changes, pretty much a complete rewrite of the tooltip hooking code.

1.2 - Now handle objects on the floor.

1.11 - Keeping the Enemy at Bay seems to return nil on GetQuestLogLeaderBoard() sometimes. Now fixed.

1.1 - Changed some code here and there

1.0 - Initial Release

Slakah, I believe your latest patch doesn't work. The addon crashes when you have 2 quests with the same objective.

Code:

Error occured in: Global
Count: 1
Message: ..\AddOns\QueTip\QueTip.lua line 198:
   attempt to call global 'GetObjectiveKey' (a nil value)

Instead of hooking each blizzard default tooltip (GameTooltip, ItemRefTooltip, ShoppingTooltip1 and 2), hook the tooltips metatable. This would allow QueTip to work with any tooltip, even the ones added by addons

That wouldn't work as I'm hooking the "OnTooltipSetItem" Script method, which isn't a function stored in the metatable, and tbh I don't know where it's stored. I suppose I could initially iterate over every tooltip and then hook CreateFrame, to get all the tooltips, but tbh I don't think thats necessary, unless this is a frequently found problem.

Instead of dislaying the name of the quest (ex: In Search of the Ruby Lilac) which has as objective a mob, item, or item found in a mob, display the objective name (ex: Ruby Lilac). This has two advantages: the player can know quickly what he is looking for in a mob (if he has to slay him, or to loot an item from him), and, if a mob "has" more than one objective (see Containing the Rot), the player will be able to distinguish them. In other words: it would be more intuitive.

I personally like seeing the Quest Name only, as it tells me that I need to do something to this mob/item to progress in the quest and tbh I don't want to see
Ruby Lilac
Ruby Lilac: 0/1

As it's fairly obvious, although I may implement something for quests which hold the same objective.

Error at logon, different from what I posted before that occurred with v2.0: ["message"] = "QueTip-2.2\\QueTip.lua:111: attempt to index global 'factions' (a nil value)\nQueTip-2.2\\QueTip.lua:134: in main chunk\n<in C code>: in function `LoadAddOn'\nAddonLoader-2.0\\AddonLoader.lua:109: in function `LoadAddOn'\nAddonLoader-2.0\\Conditions.lua:124: in function <Interface\\AddOns\\AddonLoader\\Conditions.lua:117>\n\n ---", ["type"] = "error", ["time"] = "2009/06/24 00:08:20", ["session"] = 521, ["counter"] = 1 Then I was summoned (via summoning stone) to the Coilfang Reservoir area to do the Midsummer Festival event boss. Error similar to the above after accepting the summons and arriving at destination. It repeated 10 times: ["message"] = "QueTip-2.2\\QueTip.lua:111: attempt to index global 'factions' (a nil value)\n\n ---", ["type"] = "error", ["time"] = "2009/06/24 00:10:16", ["session"] = 521, ["counter"] = 10 Back to v1.2 here for now.

fraz0815 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 7 Uploads: 2	Hello, there is a problem when using QueTip and Engravings together. It doubles some of the lines in the tooltip when you click on an item in the chat. See screenshot. Mouseoveritems tooltips are not affected. Only happens when Engravings and Quetip are both enabled, checked all other tooltip-changing mods, but they didn't do anything, it's strange that Sellfish +AuctionLite info is not doubled.

Yup, but I don't want to add an option to do so.

Just open up core.lua in notepad and modify

Code:

tooltip:AddDoubleLine(qtitle, have.."/"..need, 1, 1, 1, ColourGradient(have/need))

Replacing the 1 with a number between 0-1 with the amount of red you want in it, 1 with a number between 0-1 dictating the amount of green you want in your colour, and finally 1 with a number between 0-1 dictating the amount of blue you want in your colour.

So

Code:

tooltip:AddDoubleLine(qtitle, have.."/"..need, 1, 0, 0, ColourGradient(have/need))

would give you

"Find Mankirk's Wife: 0/1"

You have to modify two lines hope this helps
