Leave feedback in this thread. I will drop in on occasion and read it.

probably the only addon that has stayed in my collection from day 1, and I haven't actually ripped apart and rewritten :D

good work Legorol, and thanks for finally bringing it over to wowi!

This is the Localization of Simplified Chinese ...
 

:D
I've translated it into Simplified Chinese .

Thank you very much for the Simplified Chinese localization, it's absolutely awesome! I can't check if it makes sense or not :) , but I've added it to EquipCompare.

There is one line in the .toc file that is missing localization, it's this text:
"Compare items easily with ones you have equipped (2.9.5)"
would you be able to translate this as well? Thanks!

Hi im wondering if there is any option to make the window that showing your current equiped item a little bigger. Problem is that with my current ui settings etc the text gets a little bit to small... and its very hard to see.

Thanks for a great addon :D:banana:

EquipCompare seems to be mixing up MH, and OH weapond in 3.02
 

I'm having trouble with the comparisons in WoW3.02 when dual wielding. It seems to be mixing up the hand that I am carrying the weapons in. It compares my MH weapon to OH weapons that I mouse over, and vice versa. For example, if I had a MH weapon equipped, and moused over another MH weapon in my bag it shows the comparison tip to the one I am carrying in my off hand. It seems to recognize that those specific types of weapons are only usable in one hand, but is mixing them up somewhere along the line. I've never noticed this behavior before.

im having the same issue. when i move my mouse over a weap in my bag it compares it to my off-hand item.

i.e. compares a main-hand mace in my bag to my shield i have equip and not my main-hand weap.

Off-hand "as intended" behavior (not bug) fix for EquipCompare v2.13
 

Works with WoW v3.0.3:

The following code modification will resolve the "as intended" behavior which
currently (when items are equipped in both weapon slots) shows only the
equipped "off-hand" item for comparison if you hover over a "main hand" or
"two-hand" item.

Open the EquipCompare.lua file.

Change line 1237:
if ( itype == INVTYPE_WEAPON ) then

To:
if ( itype == INVTYPE_WEAPON ) or ( itype == INVTYPE_WEAPONMAINHAND ) then

This behavior (not bug) fix works, but with one noted side effect. After this
change is applied, "main hand" only items will be compared to equipped items
in both weapon slots, including "off-hand" only items and "one hand" items
equipped in the "off-hand" slot. However, "off-hand" only items will only be
compared to (if equipped) an "off-hand" slotted item. Although this may not be
perfect or ideal, I believe this quick and dirty fix (showing both items in
both weapon slots) is more user-friendly than the "as intended" behavior which
currently looks and feels more like a "bug" (based on user feedback here).

NOTE:
I do not know if this adversely affects other addons that have hooks for
EquipCompare. I use a small selection of addons and have not noticed any
conflicts.

Tooltip rendered (partially/completely) off screen fix for EquipCompare v2.13
 

Works with WoW v3.0.3:

The following code modifications should resolve most (if not all) issues with
wide comparative tooltip frames being displayed (partially or completely) off
screen. This change repositions dual comparative tooltip frames when there are
two slots that an item can be equipped in (ie, rings, trinkets, weapons). The
comparative tooltip frames will appear above/below one another instead of to
their left/right, but will still be rendered left/right of the main tootlip.

(1) line is moved
(2) lines are modified
(1) line is added

I recommend you copy/paste the "To" code below (without line numbers) over the
existing code in the EquipCompare.lua file.

Open the EquipCompare.lua file.

Change lines 1259-1267:

From:
----
To:
----
I am sure there are much more complicated, or maybe even some cleaner ways,
to accomplish similar changes to the relative frame layout that would yield
similar results. This just happens to be one of the quick and dirty methods.

NOTE:
One side effect I observed was that this change does not appear to
"work and play well" with the ALT button functionality.

Hi great addon, i have a feature request, while hovering over an item add with modifier, to also compare item with same type of items in bank and bags. what im looking for is a easy way to determine gear that i find or roll on. for druids and palas for example have to keep track of 3-4+ sets of gear. this way hovering over say a head slot item that is gonna be rolled for and holding say shift, i would be able to see currently equiped, in bags and in bank just adding more tooltips. that way i could determine weather i need the item or not, and quickly (example=pug rolling can go very fast) would be most awsome. cheers.

Not sure this is entirely possible and if it is, it would be a tremendous memory hog.

Well i dont relly know why that would be, theres plenty of addons that alreday remember ur bank inv, and ur bags, if u knew what to look for u could look up any bank/bag/wearing item with say sanity2 addon(without beeing at bank ofc), but it would take alot longer time to compare items that are beeing rolled on to what u have in bank/bags and wearing. why would it be such a memory hog?, (im no expert coder, but sanity2 wich saves your bank items, bag items, wearing item even on alts. since is has all the info stored all that would be needed i to make a addon to compare items by slot on modifer with tooltips. im sure theres a lightweight approch to this.

"as intended"! I certainly hope that's a joke.

A better "as intended" function would be to show both the main and offhand as currently equipped tooltips next to each other? :P

As Intended
 

I think a good "as intended" behavior would be to show your main hand compared to your boots, or possibly all items compared to your boots. lol

If added the code above but in some cases I got another error:

Using German Client:

Error:

Any ideas ?

Has nobody a solution?

error message
 

I had to turn off this mod because everytime I tried to compare something from the chat window I get a error message then everything I mouse over puts a gold value in the item window over the item in multiple places. any ideas? using wotlk

What error message do you get?

I get a similar error when mousing over the buff icon for spellstone/firestone also using wotlk at work right now so not sure what the error message is (~_~)

ok here is the error message hope this helps figure out the problem. copied right from error screen on wow

EQC for melee shaman?
 

Is there anyway to get EQC to show for a melee shaman (strength, attack power) rather than spell power/mana regen, etc...

EquipCompare doesn't show any sort of statistics like that. It just shows the compare tooltip. You probably have RatingBuster installed, in which case there are tons of options for it.

shaman
 

Actually, I believe it is EQC, when you hover over an item, it will display two windows, one for the item currently equipped and one that could be equipped with the breakdown of stats (-400 mana, +400 health, +44 attack power, etc....) For the shaman, it only will display the caster info, not the melee info... I messed with the settings with a bit to see if I could fix it, no luck... Any clues?

No. It's not EquipCompare doing that. It is either RatingBuster or a similar addon.

Compare error log
 

Hi Guys and Gals, hopefully someone can help.
I mouse-over an item, the error appears, I clear the error and i have a gold amount appear over item details.
(running 3.0.3, BC - not LK yet)

I've copied and pasted the error I am getting in WoW. It reports a error in EQC, the log also includes a list of all other addons i use, incase anyone reckons its one of those conflicting. Its basically the same error that Redneck7433 is getting.

If anyone can shed any light on the matter then that would be great.

lol yes it is eqc... rating buster will display the points in brackets next to the attribute gain, eqc will show a green amount (for a gain) or a red amount (for a loss) below... i fiddled with the thing for an hour and can not get the shaman's melee comparison to show, the mana/mana regen/spell power shows...

Psprocket, hate to say this but you are mistaken and Seerah is correct in this, I logged in to my character and disabled all my addons EXCEPT EquipCompare and it does not compare stats as you are describing. And in fact to make sure there wasn't a setting for it in equip compare I checked the options and I believe the only options EquipCompare has is to show on certain modifiers instead of all the time, to disable it and actually I think those are all the options. So I would recommend checking your addon screen for each addon you might have that affects tooltips as you might find what you are looking for. Below I have posted what equip compare does with a link I clicked on from the chat window and I assure you it looks the same even if I had moused over the actual item.

This is all EquipCompare does. So unless you have some weird funky version of equipcompare which I doubt its most likely ratingbuster or another addon like it as previously stated by Seerah.

Is there a way to make the scale of these tooltips the same as a normal one?

They always seem to be about 80-90% the size of the main one being hovered over.

My guess is that EquipCompare uses the default compare tips - they are naturally smaller.

Hi

I have noticed that eqc (as installed) dont takes into account: socketed gems, enchantments, and set bonus.

Is there anyway of make it count them ?

Thanks a lot :)

Please read up a few posts. ;) EquipCompare doesn't compare item stats.

There is an addon called EQCompare, which does stat comparison, which is quite different from EquipCompare. People often mistake the two for each other.

Hi
It´s there an update with the wow patch 3.2??

Hi,
Before WotLK I used EC + CharactersViewer but with bugs and CV not updated I switched to another addon.

Now I want to use EC again but I still need an addon to see the stuff used on my alts. Can someone tells me if there's some compatibles with EC ?

Wont Install
 

I unzipped the file into my WoW addons folder. However it doesn't show up in the addons list and it obviously doesn't work in game. Is there something I'm missing or didn't do?

Try tekKompare instead.

Error when I scroll over range weapons
 

Everytime I scroll over a Ranged weapon (Bow, Gun, Wands) I recieve an error message. :eek: I attached a screen shot of what the error message looks like. Also when I scroll over the ranged weapon it does not show any comparison. I hope this will help make this add on even better. Aside from this issue I love this add on! Keep up the great work!

It hasnt been up dated. I had to drop it along time ago. WIsh there was one like it.

The game has this feature built in, and has for a long time. You can even toggle it so it stays on. If you don't toggle it on all the time, hold down the <Shift> when hovering your mouse over items.

Try this one here: http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/moncaicompare

How do you toggle the Equip Comparison thats in game to stay on?

It looks like they removed the option, but you can turn it on with this command:

/console alwaysCompareItems 1

Use the same command with 0 instead of 1 to turn it off again.
