TipTop

Version: 3.1.2

by: Seerah [More]

In my quest to find the perfect tooltip mod, I decided to create my own and have a learning experience. Thus, TipTop was born. TipTop seeks to modify the default tip instead of replace it.

Apparently, my comments are a magnet for bug reports and feature requests, despite the buttons for them to the right to put them on my portal, the FAQ saying to put them on my portal (with links even!), and repeated requests in the comments section to put them at my portal. So I'll put it here in big, colorful, bold letters.

FEATURE REQUESTS AND BUG REPORTS NEED TO BE PUT ON MY PORTAL. IF YOU PUT THEM IN MY COMMENTS, THEY WILL MOST LIKELY BE FORGOTTEN AND/OR IGNORED.

I appreciate the time that you take to report bugs and request things, but please appreciate the time/effort that it takes me to go through them and remember them, and please just put them in the correct location.

Features:

optional class-colored border for units (optional support for !ClassColors)
optional difficulty-colored border for units
option to display class icon before unit's name in tooltip (off by default)
various class icon textures to choose from (thanks, gossipgirlxo and Flat Player Icons!)
option to display guild rank (off by default)
added target text line
"faded" tip if unit is tapped, dead, or offline
custom border, background, and status bar textures
custom font selection, plus option of Outline, etc.
custom background color/alpha
custom health bar color, including class-colored
ability to move the tooltip or attach to cursor
can show health on statusbar in five different formats
health bar may be above or below the tooltip, or be contained inside the tooltip
item-quality colored border for items
raid icon display
added talent text line
displays (Rare), (AFK), and (DND) when possible, next to the unit's name
option to display elite/rare elite graphic for those units
adjust tip background alpha
SharedMedia support
each character has a choice of using either a global or character specific profile
option to shorten player names
option to color player names by class

FAQ:

Where are the options?
The options panel is located on the addons page of the Interface Options panel. Hit escape, go to Interface, click the AddOns tab, and you'll see TipTop listed there. You can also use the slash commands /tiptop or /tip

How do I move the tooltip?
In the TipTop config window, scroll down until you see the anchor settings. You may either anchor the mouse to the cursor, or to a side/corner of the screen. Note that x,y offsets only work when the tip is *not* anchored to the cursor. This is a limitation set by the game's API, and I will not code in the hacks that other tooltip addons use to get around this. I suggest using the alpha setting instead so the tip doesn't block your view so much.

I want the tooltip offset from the cursor - will you add it or is it bugged?
See above.

Where can I find more fonts/borders/bar textures?
For further font choices, I suggest the SharedMedia addon. Have a font you want to use that's not in there? Read the "Instructions for MyMedia.txt" file in the SharedMedia folder.

How can I give feedback?
Feel free to leave your comments/questions here, but all bug reports and feature requests need to go to my portal if you want me to remember to do them.

Bug Reports / Feature Requests

Can I use your code/textures?
All use of my code and custom textures separate from TipTop must be for your own personal use and they may not be redistributed separate from the addon. You may use snippets of my code in addons you intend to distribute only after receiving permission, and credit must be given.

Can I redistribute this addon?
My addons may only be redistributed in UI compilations, and any mention of the addon must point to its download page or my portal, both on wowinterface.

Do you accept cookies?
I love cookies! Unfortunately, they may turn to crumbs in the mail. Instead, you may donate to my cookie fund via PayPal.

On live I'm using StarTip, which I think is a stripped-down Ace3 port or clone of CowTip. It can do what I described, so it might be usable as an example.

Sec: ah, I was testing with the FlagRSP2 from here. But I still saw a line it added in my tooltip (over my unit frame). It just would collapse behind the healthbar when I moused off the frame before it faded... But I'm glad that you've found a work around.

When playing on a second character, I have noticed that FlagRSP2 messes up TipTop's health bar. I am not entirely sure why this occurred as I used the same FlagRSP2 settings from testing on the first character. I'll fiddle with this more to see what's up, but as the problems are from FlagRSP2, I'm not sure how likely it'd get fixed.

I have +2 and -2 because there are actually 3 different sizes of fonts in tooltips, sized 10, 12, and 14 by default. I find the tooltips easier to read with this differences in font size. May I ask what you gain by having the text the same size?

I do agree that the way you have coded the font size increase/decrease is the most logical, straight-forward and easy approach. The only reason why I personally keep the font set to 12 no matter what the text it is dealing with is because I am using a pixel font. This font best displays at 12 - any bigger or smaller and the font becomes blurred. The font I am using is the same as what was shown in my initial screenshots. A slider would also give individuals an on-the-fly ability to change their font size. Personally, I have no desire to change the font past 12, unless I change the font face, although I cannot guess the scope of everyone's expectations for customization.

I will think about that... Atm, it's using the same colors as the default tip (or should be...

It does use the same colors at the default tip so long as an addon like FlagRSP2 is not allowed to modify the tooltip. I am a bit confused as to why FlagRSP2 alters the tooltip color, the class color as well as removes (player). I am somewhat wondering how MRP, FlagRSP and IRP work with TipTop, but in all honesty, all of those addons give me grief and leave me unsatisfied so I'm just going to stick with the one I can tolerate best.

Strongbow A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 12 File comments: 95 Uploads: 0	Hi Seerah! Thank you for those resent updates you have made to your addon, those have eliminated the problems i had before (with the text collapsing behind the health bar). And for putting in the talents in the tooltip so i can get rid of 1 that i used to see that. I have a slight problem tho, when i mouse over my mount the tooltip will stay there and not fade away until i mouse over something else which is strange sine i haven't changed any of those settings and talking about that is it possible to change all tooltips to be instant off instead of fading when you change your target to nothing ? /Strongbow

- ability to choose which corner of the cursor to anchor to which corner of the tooltip

- ability to specify offset for cursor anchoring

I will look into how this is done with other addons...

- ability to adjust global tooltip opacity

Hmm... You're right, I don't have that in there. I thought I used to... Will be added.

1) Allow a slide selector for the +2 and -2 font sizes that are used for elements such as player name. I just manually delete the +2 or -2 as they appear in the .lua which isn't too bad as I know what lines need changing.

2) An option to change the tooltip's background color.

I will think about that... Atm, it's using the same colors as the default tip (or should be...

Sec A Cyclonian Forum posts: 48 File comments: 177 Uploads: 0	Seerah, yes, I am using FlagRSP2 (as can be found at wowace.com). My unitframe layout is oUF Caellian, albeit an older version than what is currently available at WoWInterface. I also am on Live servers (no Beta for me). With TipTop1.3.1 and FlagRSP2 enabled at the same time, FlagRSP2 information no longer displays on the tooltip, however the following occurs: 1) The health bar positions correctly (not high). 2) The health bar's length is updated correctly, regardless of who I am targeting or whether or not that user has a target. 3) The health bar no longer has the extra "line" of pixels. An interesting point about FlagRSP2 is that if you go to the tooltips menu, you can set FlagRSP2 to not add its information or otherwise modify the default tooltip. Instead, FlagRSP2 will provide a secondary tooltip that somewhat anchors on top of the game's default tooltip. This secondary tooltip displays the following only: prefix, name, surname as well as title. The game's default tooltip presents the following information: regular name (with PvP/game title), guild, level, race, class, and (Player). The game's default tooltip also appears in the navy blue background that TipTop assigns. FlagRSP2 would change that color to a lighter one. In short, having FlagRSP2 set with both "Default/Light Mode tooltip" and "Show extra tooltip in Light Mode" allow TipTop to do its thing without any flaws. Suffice to say, I will be keeping those options enabled. I do not like the redundancy of having a name displayed twice, however that's the only way to make FlagRSP2 play nice. I can say that of all the tooltip addons I have tried, TipTop is the most humble in that it changes elements but still remains flexible. So, the problems I have occurred in the past have now been corrected. I have noticed no further bugs with TipTop. I just wish someone would make a roleplay addon that does not suffer the flaws that FlagRSP, FlagRSP2, MRP and IRP all fall to. Unfortunately, I've found or heard of no author who is interested in such a project as it is roleplay-centric and the authors of addons I have mentioned are seemingly set in their way with no desire to change. If I could list a few suggestions to TipTop: 1) Allow a slide selector for the +2 and -2 font sizes that are used for elements such as player name. I just manually delete the +2 or -2 as they appear in the .lua which isn't too bad as I know what lines need changing. 2) An option to change the tooltip's background color. Kudos to you for your commitment to TipTop.

Would like to see options for the following though: - ability to choose which corner of the cursor to anchor to which corner of the tooltip - ability to specify offset for cursor anchoring - ability to adjust global tooltip opacity I'm sure I'll think of others, but those are the first things that jump out at me.

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 10860 File comments: 687 Uploads: 33	v.1.3.1 - fixed resize bug when mousing off of default unit frames - FlagRSP2 issue still persists, however - it is my belief that this lies in their code I figured out the cause of the health bar/border color issue. It seems to have to do with the default frames and how they detect the mouse when hovering over the health/power bars. Should be fixed now. As for your resize bug with FlagRSP2, Sec, no matter what I tried, the tooltip still collapsed a bit when mousing off of the default unit frame (see above). Do you use the default frames? __________________ "You'd be surprised how many people violate this simple principle every day of their lives and try to fit square pegs into round holes, ignoring the clear reality that Things Are As They Are." -Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Sec A Cyclonian Forum posts: 48 File comments: 177 Uploads: 0	Seerah, I upgraded to 1.3 and refrained from configuring TipTop so that the information I provide hopefully will be accurate. I also deleted the saved variables files. I believe I have disabled all tooltip-modifying addons aside from TipTop. Firstly, I believe that FlagRSP2 is the addon that colors the class and removes the "(Player)". Having FlagRSP2 disabled corrects the issue. FlagRSP2 does not seem to have any other affect on the tooltip/TipTop, aside from the additional name and title fields. I actually like that the class is colored; I'd love for there not to be a class field, but I'm not sure how to remove it through the .lua file. The same goes for (Player); it is a field I would remove had I the knowledge or option to do so. When running only TipTop, if I hover over the pet (warlock) or my own unitframe, the health bar still is too high. If I quickly hover from my unitframe to the pet's, the healthbar does not seem to have enough time to update its width to match that of the actual tooltip. The health bar texture is also a bit off, no matter who's unitframe or character I am looking at. It looks like there is a second line of texture that starts on the left and ends roughly 3/4 along the actual health bar. It is slightly noticeable because the second line appears only 1 or 2 pixels wide. This is all I have noticed while running an unmodified TipTop, without enabling any other addons that modify the tooltip's appearance or functionality. I am going to modify my ToolTip, turn on my addons and see how it does. I will be using FlagRSP2 still, mainly because there is no good replacement and I enjoy the concept it provides. Other tooltip-related addons I use: SpellTips, TekKompare, ManyItemTooltips and Enchant Woot-O-Matic. I might have some requests/suggestions after I get my setup reconfigured however I fully understand that this was developed to fit your needs, Seerah, so I may just end up asking how I'd go about tweaking things myself. ^^"

I just noticed, actually, that Sec appears to have another tooltip addon enabled at the same time. It doesn't say (Player) after the level/class/race line and class is class colored.

I got some other Addons yes, but none touches the Tooltip in any way (afaik)

I use addons like oUF + layout and all the plugins like combatfeedback etc.
Dominos Afflicted2 simplebuffbars and so on. Ah and i used TipTac befor, and was always testing TipTop until the latest Version, which is kinda the Version i would use instead of TipTac

i guess savedvariables of TipTac wont touch TipTop, right?

I will try to run TipTop without any Addon tomorrow and will give feedback here.

Keep up the good work

Same here, with no Target and you hover over a PvP Target where Talents are not showing up, the Healtbar is not in place, it overlaps with the above stuff.
