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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changelog (Release)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in v30100
- Updated TOC as the basic TinyTip modules have been confirmed working.
- Fixed a small bug in guild lines.
- Removed modules from TinyTip (core) as people expressed problems with them. Use the standalone versions.
Changes in v1.4.16
- Thanks to twobits and copystring, we now not only have full 3.x compatibility, but we also have a new TinyTipOptions. It's included in the zip as a separate addon.
Changes in v1.4.12
- Thanks to many people for updating this addon on the Wowace SVN while I was away. Here's the official release. It still has a few bugs in it that I'll sort out in the next few weeks, as I work on an overhaul with new features. I'll try to keep you people up-to-date.

I'm getting two "guild" lines, one below the player's name, and again after the level/race/class line. Does this with no other addons loaded.
example: Elnana No Frills Level 42 Undead Warlock <No Frills>

I tried your OptionalDeps trick with MyRolePlay, which edits the tooltip to display RP info, and it just screwed up TinyTip EVEN MORE, until i remove MyRP formatting (even after i had deleted OptionalDeps), the layout of tooltips were like this:
Guild Name in BOLD Level xx Class and that was basically the only things it displayed, no matters how i edited the options... the background color was back to the default WoW's and everything... the TinyTip are currently back to normal, but i still cant display my RP info :\ |

I managed to reset it using the tooltipui and it worked briefly and then stopped working again... So, NPCs -- fine.. But, if I want to know what guild someone is in, I have to get up close to see it under their character name... Update: For me, it was 'MyRolePlay' that it is no longer compatible with it..

Irritations
I really like your tooltip...but:
- Why doesn't it support Auctioneer embedding? - Why, when I turn on "Show other addons tooltips", can the tooltip when hovering over a spell not be at the cursor, but item tooltips can? - Why is there a seemingly random and unremovable grey bar under the tooltip? I've tried to backtrack to default settings, but it's still there. |

PvP Rank?
Running the latest version from WoWAce Downloads... still doesn't show PvP rank in the tooltip, regardless of the setting I use. Will this bug ever be fixed?

Thrae, just a note for Tinytip. I didn't see a thread on wowace forums, so here's the bug I'm seeing. Any mob that's hostile to me (like horde mobs, or city guards of opposing factions) show the tinytip with the info offset down and to the right.
One example is the Eye of the Storm emissaries this weekend ANother would be the guards at GAradar in Nagrand However, the Aldor Marksman NPC in Shatt City does not have this behavior If you need more info, or examples, I'm happy to help here, or on #wowace

PvP rank not showing
I'm using the latest version from here (also tried the latest from the Ace downloads page...) and I can't get PvP rank to display at all? It doesn't matter what option I choose; it's not even showing the PvP rank icon if I enable that option.
Any fix? Thanks. |

Not sure if this is the best place to ask about this or not, but here goes
I would like to set my tooltip anchoring to 'TOP'. When I do that, the tooltip does appear where I would expect, however if I open any bag (or all bags), the tooltip moves and is anchored to the left side of my bag display, and the tooltip's height is the entire height of my screen (well beyond the # of lines displayed). Is anyone else seeing this? If not, is there a setting I need to set/tweak to see if it makes any difference? Thanks |

Would love to use this as TipBuddy replacement but there are still some issues I can't get around that I've listed below
If there is a fix for these issues I'd love to move to tinytip... thanks! |

Mod kills MetaMap's tracking function
Tried the above suggestion to add OptionalDeps to both MetaMap and MetaMapTRK and hasn't fixed it.

Requesting an addition to TinyTip
As a habitual battleground player, I find it useful to see the realm name of players in my raid.
I have been using another tooltip which offers this feature but would rejoice at the prospect of again using TinyTip if the addition of the player's realm was possible. Maybe as an option following the guild name for those who would not find the extra information beneficial? Thanks to everyone who works so hard to create and maintain add-ons for WoW. I remain grateful, Vervain |
