**NOTE: If you are upgrading for the first time since 2.4, CowTip now uses the new LibDogTag-3.0 library. As such, many of your DogTags will need to be rewritten. Please see the in-game DogTag help or the DogTag wiki page for more info.
Tooltip of awesomeness. Moo. It'll graze your pasture.
Hey all, ckknight here, I decided to make a tooltip addon. Therefore I have, and called it CowTip (the name is funny, laugh.)
CowTip is tag-based, specifically based on DogTag-2.0, which is the same tag system that PitBull uses.
One major thing that separates it from some other mods is that it doesn't manipulate data that is already on the tooltip, it adds much more to it, but all in a way that the user can customize to the nth degree.
The goal of CowTip is to be simple, customizeable, and powerful, all at once. (Another bonus to developers is that the code is actually humanly-readable.)
Features:
Fully customizable colors, background textures, borders, and fonts
Uses the DogTag system so you can create the tooltip of your dreams
Displays raid target icons
Heath and Power bars with customizable sizes and bar textures
r66223.3 beta:
Embed LibTalentQuery-1.0 for DogTag, add DogTag text coloring, DogTag library updates
r65841.1 beta:
**NOTE: This is a beta version. It now uses the new LibDogTag-3.0 library. As such, there may be bugs, and many of your DogTags will need to be rewritten. There is *no* documentation yet. Feel free to scan through the library's code or check out this thread.
I'm curious when *immediate* fade will be available. CowTip is nearly unusable in PvP right now because the tooltip doesn't immediately fade. It's stuck to your cursor for about 3 seconds too long and gets really, really aggravating.
There's an issue with the current version of cowtip. It clashes with pitbull and the units frames stop showing up (although I'm able to hover over where it should be, and even click it).
Originally posted by pixiesnoot I'm stupid and cant figure out how to edit this addon, plz help
EDIT: nevermind, i figured it out, i just typed in /cowtip
Any reason the font size resets randomly? I have it set to .8 but it always resets itself. It stays on .8, but the font get's bigger and I have to change it again.
How do you make THIS tooltip appear in a different place? Right now, the top left hand corner is being blocked by the cursor (Does not show in Screenshot) and I can't read the first few words. I was wondering if I could change this somehow?
I found the solution, this was posted on the MMO Champion forums.
Code:
[(if Target:IsPlayer or (Target:IsEnemy and not Target:IsPet) then ClassColor(unit=Target) end) (if IsUnit('player', Target) then '<<You>>' else Target:NameRealm or 'None' end)]
