RantTooltip

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.

I have my player and target frames positioned directly above my actionbars and the tooltips cover those frames. I like having my tooltips out of the way, especially when it comes to spells which I don't very often need to read about since I've been using them for a long time.

Yea, this is exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm thinking of recoding rant so you can format the tooltip anyway you want. This is what it might look like for each line:

Code:

$name ($realm) <$tag>
<$guild>
$level $race $class
$talents [$talenttrees] ($talentspectab)
$target [$targetname]

This would output to (for example):
Rummie (Blackrock) <AFK>
<Insert Guild Here>
70 Undead Rogue
Talents: [45/5/11] (Assassination)
Target: [Thatguy]

You would set this in the config.

I don't use character specific options, so just put it in the config.lua would do the job right ?

In the config.lua I have : "anchor = { "RIGHT", 0, 0 }" but ingame all is fine except for the tooltip over the spells.

I think i'm missing something.

Anyway, I'll try with the character specific options.

The tooltip is meant to be anchored to the right of the button when mousing over a spell.

first thank you very much for this great tooltip mod !
But, I would like to let the tooltip always at the same place and with your new feature the tooltip overlaps with my bars.
How to do it please ?!
(define only anchor doesn't seem to do the job)

Examples:
/rant layout anchor "TOPLEFT" 0 0
/rant layout anchor "TOPRIGHT" 0 0
/rant layout anchor "BOTTOMLEFT" 0 0
/rant layout anchor "BOTTOMRIGHT" 0 0
/rant layout anchor "TOP" 0 0
/rant layout anchor "BOTTOM" 0 0
/rant layout anchor "RIGHT" 0 0
/rant layout anchor "LEFT" 0 0
/rant layout anchor "CENTER" 0 0

Etc.
The zeros are the x and y offsets.

Have fun.

One question though, is there a way to either load another characters profile OR just turn profiles off? cause I just use the same settings on all my characters =p

If there isnt really no big deal, i only change like 3 things lol I could literally just macro it to make initial setup instant.

Open config.lua, set useOptions to false and set everything in the config.lua instead. Thats what useOptions is there for. It will just load the config.lua settings on every character.

"top" has to be a string. So...

Code:

/rant layout anchor "TOP" 0 -13

and to get everything back to normal first...

Code:

/rant reset

edit: hmm, actually the reset command resets everything to the default config EXCEPT the cursor anchor. lol. I'll be fixing that. Just try setting the anchor again:

Code:

/rant layout anchor "TOP" 0 -13

I will add that action button idea.
