Description
Ever wish you could check out that cool sword or helmet model that guy had without following him around and trying to move your camera just right to get a good look? Ever wish you could get up close and personal with that awsome shield model without having the owner think you are stalking them? Ever wish you could freely view that really cool looking mob from a safe distace? Ever just wanted to view a really nice character model at your leisure without having to navigate your character to do it? SuperInspect is for you....

== What is SuperInspect? ==
SuperInspect replaces the default inspect window with one that gives you these features:
-Inspect your target as long as you can target them
-Continue inspecting even if you've lost your target
-Show bonuses awarded to your target by the items they have equiped
-Colored borders for displayed items that indicate their quality
-Freely rotate, pan and zoom the model with your mouse
-Display NPCs
-Display Hostile Players
-Display yourself
-Gives each unit a nice background
-Toggle the display of inventory items and/or honor information
-Draggable, scaleable window
-Bind a key to inspect or view quickly
-Maximizes the window space for better model viewing

== How to Use ==
Inspect your targets as usual OR if you wish to also check out NPCs (recommended):
Go to 'Main Menu' then 'Key Bindings' and scroll down until you find the SuperInspect entry. Bind a key to 'Inspect Target'. Select a target, hit that key and the SuperInspect window will appear (try targeting NPCs or if you can't find a target, target yourself with F1).

When the SuperInspect window is up, dragging the model with your Left-Mouse Button rotates the model, dragging with your Right-Mouse Button pans the model and MouseWheel zooms in and out.

If you wish to scale the window and/or drag it to some other position, see the slash commands below. Once you've turned off default mode, you can drag the frame around by clicking and dragging on the top part of the frame.


== Options ==
-To show the available options:
/superinspect
--------------------------------
/superinspect reset - reset the frame to the center of your screen
/superinspect scale [number] - change the scale of the frame (ex: /superinspect scale 0.8)
/superinspect defaulttoggle - toggle default mode on/off (when on, SI acts like the default inspect window. when off, you can drag and scale the window)

A note about set bonuses:
When the item bonus window scans items to find bonuses to report, bonuses which are given by wearing multiple set pieces don't show up. Why? Because when you get information of a set item on another player, it doesn't report how many they are currently wearing and what the awarded bonuses for multiple pieces are. This is what I consider a bug in how Blizzard returns item information. At the moment, there is nothing that I can cleanly do about this so please take this information into consideration when you are viewing items stats in relation to set pieces. Thanks.

Great Addon, though I have spotted some small bugs in the latest release (1.11).

-the "Item Bonus"- Panel doesn't count the "to hit" bonus from the Hunter Zul'gurub enchant "Falcon's Call". I have 3 Items with +1% chance to hit, and 2 Items with the enchant, but the Item Bonus panel only shows +3% to hit.

-a number of rogues I inspected had "+2 Block" listed as item bonus, though none of their items had any +blocking... those rogues all had several pieces of the Bloodfang Set.

Nakari, do you think you could send me or post screenshots of what the enchant text looks like? The tooltip is fine. Thanks.

[Nakari]

Sure

The problem regarding set bonuses persists through the last update (Though I do think that the "Sets" section was a pretty good idea).

I.e., I have "Ironfeather Shoulders" and "Ironfeather Breastplate", which have a set bonus of "Increases damage and healing done by magical spells and effects by up to 20." This set bonus is listed on both items (and therefore parsed twice), but is only applied once. Instead of seeing "Spell Damage +20, Healing + 20", I see "Spell Damage +40, Healing + 40".

The same thing occurs with my wildheart. It recognizes the +5 nature resist set bonus 3 times, once from each piece of the set, so instead of seeing "+5" nature resist, I see "+15".

Glad to confirm that SuperInspect does now correctly identify +mana regen. =D

Just one question... I haven't been able to find another druid with gear like mine to inspect in the last little while, so I thought I'd ask.. If you examine someone who wears the same set that you do, only a different number of pieces, does SuperInspect not display the bonuses form the set, or does it (because of the tooltip parsing) mistake your set bonuses for theirs?

The way I see it, there would be two ways to go about properly displaying set bonuses: Exclude them altogether , or keep an updated list of the current set bonuses in the game and determine what, if any, apply to the inspected target (rather than parsing set bonuses from the tooltip -- sounds like this would be too high maintenance). Or, just maybe, blizz will finally make set bonuses display the way we all think they should in other people's tooltips....

Thanks for the hard work...

The Highest Rank under Lifetime honor is showing the persons current rank, not highest rank achieved.

[TS_CTMod]

Not real sure what I was doing when I first got this error, but I've got it a few times since then, but never actually noticed when...



And while this may not be an error so to speak, when someone has a lot of bonuses and set parts, the display can get a bit weird:

TS_CTMod, thanks. I will fix that error.

Grab the newest version and see if you still get that overlapping frame. The draw order should be fixed and I got rid of the extra spaces to help reduce the overlap. Let me know how it works for you.

I was getting a similar error as TS tonight. Not really sure what was causing it, it didn't seem to start happening until I joined a Raid, and then would popup every so often.
