I am not currently working on TinyTip and cannot guarantee it will ever get updated for Cataclysm. I recommend Leatrix Tooltip for low resource usage and TipTac or TipTop for a more featureful option, but with more resource usage. Thank you for your patronage.
Comments Parsed 6-13-09
- Description Updated -
- Note: I do not maintain TinyTipOptions -
What is TinyTip? Well, it started out as just a simple upgrade over AF_Tooltip_Mini and exploded from there. Now it shares no code with what it used to be, becoming something more, while still staying true to its name. The core of TinyTip is basically just an upgrade over AF_Tooltip_Mini, a small file around 24KB. The more modules you allow to load, the more this value increases. The goal of TinyTip is to allow you to mix and match your modules while keeping the smallest memory footprint possible. All TinyTip addons are optional.
Anyway, as you can guess, TinyTip changes the look of your GameTooltip. Here are the features found in core:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TinyTip
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Required only for interoperability between TinyTip addons.
- Required by TinyTipOptions and nothing else so far.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TinyTipBasic (core formating)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Name, backdrop, and border (optional) colouring by reaction (Hostile, Friendly, etc.)
- Class coloured with raid colours.
- Level coloured by difficulty.
- Creature Type (Imp, Cat) given for Pets.
- UnitClassification (Humanoid, Undead, etc.) given for NPCs.
- Elite Status (Elite, Rare, WorldBoss, Rare Elite) added when applicable.
- (Tapped) for Tapped, (Corpse) for Corpse
- Optional Guild Names displayed. (on by default)
- Optional backdrop coloring for friends and guildies. (on by default)
- Optional Honor Rank Name or Number. (on by default)
- Optional "Hostile", "Friendly", etc. reaction text for the colour-blind. (off by default)
- Optional Compact Tooltip mode.
- English, German, French, and Chinese localization, and partial support for other clients.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TinyTipPositioning
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- Positioning Options (Anchoring, Offsets)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TinyTipTargets
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- Who's targetting your tooltip mob?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In LoadOnDemand Addon TinyTipOptions
GUI Options, use /tinytip or /ttip to bring up the menu.
Only loaded if you use that slash command.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Troubleshooting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: TinyTip is preventing another tooltip addon from working.
A: Go into that other addon's TOC file and add/change this line to include TinyTip.
## OptionalDeps:
Q: Help! I'm getting incredibly long / infinite load times with TinyTipExtras / TinyTipOptions!
A: There is a bug with Ace2 addons (specifically, AceLibrary) which was fixed in the latest revision. If possible, update your addons.
Q: I'm getting an error from TinyTip, or an option isn't working right.
A: 1) Disable all other addons and see if the problem still occurs.
2) Check my WoWI portal to see if it's a known issue, and for updates.
3) Maybe your files are corrupt. Delete TinyTip, TinyTipExtras, and TinyTipOptions, then re-download them and install from stratch.
4) Your Saved Variable database may have gotten corrupt somehow. Try using /tinytip default and then /tinytip confirm to reset it.
5) If resetting your options doesn't work, exit WoW, delete all your Saved Variable files for TinyTip (global and per character), then restart WoW.
6) Leave a bug report on my WoWI portal.
Q: Where's the secret cow option?
A: There is no secret cow option.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes in v30100

Noticed the mob type says "Not specified" on mobs in AQ40, what saying nothing instead on unspecified ones?

I'm sorry, I'm confused. The version yesterday was 1.29, now it's 1.25. And your version history said it was renamed to !TinyTip to make use of MobInfo2, yet with the "newest" version now available (1.25), there is no ! in front of TinyTip in the folder. Not to mention the new settings at the top of the .lua file that were in with 1.29, are not in the newer version, 1.25. I really like this add-on, but which one should I use and how come the new changes aren't in there?

Feature Request: Color Backgrounds
i'd liek to replace GoodTip but really need the features of it's background coloring for different types of stuff.
hostiles are red background. coloring is already in for friends/guildmembers so maybe this will be something easy to add? thanks for the consideration |

Anchors and offsets
Perhaps I've missed it somewhere, but it would be lovely to be able to set the anchor and it's x/y offsets. Also the ability to keep the tip from fading in and out. Both of these are very minimal / lightweight changes. Thanks!

Quick fix.
Note: MonkeyQuest and MobInfo2 support with v1.25 can be added if you add TinyTip as an optional dependency of these addons. To do this, go into their folder, open up their TOC file, and edit or add these lines:
## OptionalDeps: Multiple Optional Dependencies must have a comma seperating them. Hopefully 1.3 and Ace2's event system will fix this requirement.

Best tooltip mod arround imo many thanks for this release.
2 bugs i came across when using 1.29: 1) I have the option to display pvp rank icons enabled in the lua file. When i mouse over someone with a rank, then the rank icon stays there in every other tooltip of the game (Spells, items etc) after a while it vanishes but if i mouse over a player a gain it gets stuck once again. 2) I got the following error but i dont know what i did (something i mouse-overed ) "Interaface/Addons/!TinyTip/TinyTip.lua:439: Attempt to perform arithmetic on global 'tmp2' (a string value)" |
