RantTooltip  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 0.28
by: Stuck [More]

RantTooltip (GUI) Options here.

(NOTE: If you plan on using a layout other than the default layout, you need to delete the RantTooltip_Layout folder first.)

RantTooltip is a tooltip addon that was influenced by oUF to include a layout system for tooltips. You'll find it very similar to oUF. A sample layout is included, based on p3lim's oUF layout. It was designed to match p3lim's layout due to my personal use of it. I take no credit for the design.

The documentation included in the zip file should give you all the information you need on how you create your own tooltip layout.

For everyone who prefers the original RantTooltip look, I've uploaded a layout called RantTooltip Classic.

-[Rum] (Stuck)

0.28 - "<" and ">" will now be colored according to the tag variable the encompass.
- The last player's talent spec will now be cached. This will stop the "Loading" text from flashing in some cases.

0.27 - Colons next to tag variables are no longer colored to be consistent with the adjacent variable. This was conflicting with tag updates.
- Added two more new tags: $curshort and $maxshort. These variables will display health and power values but will reduce their size if necessary.
- For example: 125000 becomes 125k. 1500000 becomes 1.5m.
- Added a $spec tag which will display the player's current spec - their talent tree with the most points in it.
- Do not use $spec and $talents in the same conditional. It will not work. If you want them on the same line, put them in separate conditionals, like this:
Code:
"{Talents: [$spec]}{ ($talents)}",
instead of:
Code:
"{Talents: [$spec] ($talents)}",

0.26 - Added $talents tag which displays the player's talents.
- Fixed a small issue with tag updates.
- Fixed an error concerning layouts without raid icons or combat icons.
- Various small changes.

0.25 - Fixed a few errors involving the DeleteLine function and unit tags.
- Updated the library.
- Other minor changes.

0.24 - Fixed a tag update issues that concerned "$target".
- Added PreOnSizeChanged and PostOnSizeChanged functions for every tooltip.
- Fixed an issue concerning GameTooltip.FindLine in the library.

0.23 - Updated a few things.
- Colons are now colored according to the tag variable to the left of them.
- Fixed and changed the library.
- Cleaned up code.
- Other miscellaneous changes.

0.22 - Fixed a conflict with GearScore. GearScore tooltip text now displays properly.
-Add override functions (i.e.):
GameTooltip.OverrideSetDefaultAnchor(self, parent)
GameTooltip:PreSetUnit(unit)
GameTooltip:PostSetUnit(unit)
GameTooltip:PreOnShow()
GameTooltip:PostOnShow()
GameTooltip:PreOnHide()
GameTooltip:PostOnHide()
GameTooltip:OverrideUpdateHealthBar(bar, cur, max)
GameTooltip:PreUpdateHealthBar(bar, cur, max)
GameTooltip:PostUpdateHealthBar(bar, cur, max)
GameTooltip:OverrideUpdatePowerBar(bar, cur, max)
GameTooltip:PreUpdatePowerBar(bar, cur, max)
GameTooltip:PostUpdatePowerBar(bar, cur, max)

0.21 - Fixed health bar text, fixed text color, and a few other things changed.

0.2 - Updated to fix memory problem.

Error with new MultiCast Button for Shamans

I keep getting this error in instances when I am healing as a Resto Shaman. I have to reload my UI to get the new Shaman Totem Bar to work correctly after the error occurs:



The MultiCast button is the new Shaman button that cast several totems with one click.

I can edit the code. If you find a quick fix and don't want to update, please just print the lines and changes. If you think it might be another addon involved, though none are listed in the error, I am using the latest version of Totem Timers which no longer affects those bars but might possibly cause the error. I don't use any bar mods at all. I will leave a copy of this with the Totem Timers author and ask if there is any issue with the button being hooked or tainted.

Rant still works great, been using it since you created the first version. Only bug I've seen, and not sure if its fixable since it's been around awhile:

Reanchor action tooltips doesn't work if you anchor tooltip to cursor with an offset. Using Dominos, cursor tooltip anchor with a Y offset of 40. Mousing over the action bars will give you a tooltip like any other object (in other words, not anchored to the button), and will sometimes "bounce" between the offset position and an anchored position, mostly on macros on action bars.

3.2 temp fix

Here is a temp fix until the new version is done. Hope author is working on this great TT addon. It is at line 358 in Ranttooltip.lua. Love Notepad++ but any text editor will work.

Change
GetDifficultyColor

To
GetQuestDifficultyColor


so fixed line will look like this

local diff = RantTooltip:RGBHex(GetQuestDifficultyColor(level))

Blizzard decided to be evil and change this for some reason. So some other addons like monkeyquest, Examiner, Cartographer, the same fix will work for.

I know the patch was just yesterday but I wanted to point out that the tooltip/Rant is broken with 3.2.

Thanks.

PTR testing ?

Will you be releasing a new version for 3.2 ? You get lua errors the first time you try to mouse over something on the PTR at the moment - probably due to the way that class colours API has apparently changed.

Unfortunately the EU PTR is somewhat.... flaky right now (can't download latest build) so I can't give you the lua errors.

May I know if there is a way to change the status bar (hp bar) color to reflect class color?

You mention anything you can do to make this better.
For the most part is a very complete mod!
Thank you!

I would like to have a fade on it though so it works like the original Blizz tool tip.

I like to place it top center and when i brush past a mob i want the info to stay up for a while then go away after some time (3 sec or whatever).

Good stuff! Thanks again for the mod.

What is it for, as I don't have any 'Glues' folder ...

You do have a glues file. it's inside the Blizzard mpq file. It's an edgefile.
