Tooltip issues

Orb · 03-08-09, 11:31 PM

Have anyone else had issues with tooltips just not appearing when you mouse over certain things? I've noticed this both on my character screen when I mouse over certain pieces of gear, and certain items in my bags (I use vBagnon).

I am not aware of any issues in that area. There is on minor issue with the "mouse" tooltip mode that's documented in the known issues list, but other than that, I don't know of any problems with tooltips.

This is one of the things that is in my very small list of bugs i was going to try to trouble shoot myself but....

Once in a rare while When I mouse over an Item that is being worn by myself or someone else the tool tip will only say things like "chest" "neck" etc. The problem I have is that It always resets itself after opening and closing the window, and it is extremely random. I do run 28 other addons with nUI so there probably is a non nUI issue there, but since it is not a constant issue it is very hard to track it down.

My theory on that is that it is Informix... do you have that installed?

hmmmm I do not. I do have an addon (im at work and dont know the name of it) tho that tells you exactly where a piece of gear has come from (info is placed at the bottom of the tooltip). The issue does not bother me enough to turn of that addon tho. It only happens once in a while and all it take is closing the window and opening it again

edit: I do know that the name is not informix

I do not. I however to use EnhTooltip and RatingBuster. I'll try disabling those and see what happens.

I can give some tips on that.
Have tested some of different tooltip providers that are out there and there are some that work and others that dont.

First if you have Auctioneer installed which installs enhanced tooltip that i have had bad luck with. So i removed that one.
Tried another awsome tooltip provider which i had used much before which is called tiptac.
That one i had troubles with like you describe that certain items did not showup.
Ratingbuster works fine with Cowtip.

So i finally decided on Cowtip which works really fine in conjuction with both Auctioneer and if you use some equip compare addon like EQcompare.

So try Cowtip and see how it works for you.
