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.

Whenever I hover over an item tooltip button on my action bars (pvp trinket for example) it will shift between showing the offset and showing the regular tooltip. it moves quickly, like its bouncing back and forth.

I can't reproduce this. It works fine.

this option is definitely buggy. it worked fine on my hunter, but not on my priest. i came here searching for answers... after reading that this person also had problems, i went back and began toggling options... entering X/Y values, then zeroing them, changing "CURSOR" to something else and then back... disabling and renabling the feature itself, and strangely enough, everything is fine now. Tooltips for Action Buttons are now anchoring to the cursor correctly on my priest.

something not right here

thanks btw, still really enjoying this addon.

I've considered this before, but I am all about precision, which is why rant is the way it is. If I had to design my UI by dragging frames, I wouldn't be a UI junkie. I suppose it couldn't hurt now though.

Grim, I'll look into it.

I just wanted to say, this is the freshest looking tooltip mod to come along in a very long time! Great job! Grimpickle grimpickle.com (GrimPack mod compilation)

By anchoring to a separate frame you have the possibility to position the tooltip within the UIParent and let it grow from this point to this direction, in the current situation you can only position it relative to UIParent, that means that you can only control the position of the tooltip but you can't control the direction it grows. Here is a working example of what I mean. RantTooltip.xml : A new file. Code: <Frame name="RantTooltipMobilityFrame" parent="UIParent" enableMouse="true" movable="true" clampedToScreen="true" hidden="true"> <Size> <AbsDimension x="100" y="60" /> </Size> <Anchors> <Anchor point="CENTER" relativeTo="UIParent"> <Offset> <AbsDimension x="0" y="0"/> </Offset> </Anchor> </Anchors> <Scripts> <OnMouseDown> if arg1 == "LeftButton" and not self.locked then self:StartMoving() end </OnMouseDown> <OnMouseUp> self:StopMovingOrSizing() </OnMouseUp> </Scripts> </Frame> RantTooltip.lua Modifying the 'OnEvent' handler. Code: RantTooltipMobilityFrame:SetBackdrop(backdrop) RantTooltipMobilityFrame:SetBackdropColor(0, 1, 0, 0.5) RantTooltipMobilityFrame.locked = true SLASH_RENTTOOLTIP1 = "/rtt" SlashCmdList["RENTTOOLTIP"] = function(input) local frame = RantTooltipMobilityFrame if not frame.locked then frame.locked = true frame:Hide() else frame.locked = false frame:Show() end end Modifying 'hooksecurefunc("GameTooltip_SetDefaultAnchor", function(tooltip, parent)' Code: tooltip:SetPoint(layout.anchor[1], RantTooltipMobilityFrame, layout.anchor[1], layout.anchor[2], layout.anchor[3]) This approach also don't requires any SavedVariables as the position being saved inside the 'layout-local.txt'.

Re: Anchor offsets?

I can get the y offset to go toward the right, but the x offset wont accept negative numbers, so cant get the tooltip to move down from the cursor.

I checked the documentation and saw nothign about this, anyone got any ideas?

Im trying to type in the offset number as -175

This was fixed in a previous version. Sorry about that. If you update it will work fine.

When I have the healbar inside the tooltip frame the text shows min/max health and percent. I can't seem to figure out how to make it show just percent. Anyone know a way to fix this? Thanks in advance

Options for this will be added soon.

I can't think of any reason this would be happening. I have never heard of this happening to anyone before. Are you using any other addons that modify any aspect of the tooltip?

2) there's an odd glitch when hovering over my water elemental macro; the tooltip jumps constantly between the default cursor anchor (0,0) and whatever offset I have it set to. For some reason, it only occurs on this action button. If I set the anchor offset back to 0,0 it works perfect again.

I'll see if I can figure this out.

For some reason, it only occurs on this action button. If I set the anchor offset back to 0,0 it works perfect again. The macro I'm using is: #showtooltip [pet] Freeze; Summon Water Elemental /cast [pet] Freeze; Summon Water Elemental Using Dominos for action bar, latest Rant, no Options (using lua to configure). All the other features seem to be working well, thx again for a great, lightweight tooltip mod! Last edited by Willowy : 11-17-08 at 09:24 AM.

I spent the next hour looking back at all of the comments expecting somewhere to see a line I can add or edit to get the thing to stop popping up on my cursor but I came up with nothing, and those that were close to what I was looking for did nothing. Now, I'm more than willing to admit that I'm being thick here, but I can't figure out what I'm missing. I'm not particularly familiar with lua (or any other language/script that's been popularized in the last 10 years) but I can read and edit a little code and I'm pretty sure I'm missing something.

EDIT: I deleted it and re-downloaded and the menu filled up with the actual options this time. Nevermind. Thanks! My only suggestion would be to add something to make the anchor dragable, though. I have been charged with the task of setting up everyone I know's UI and it's gonna be a bit of a pain getting it where it needs to be on each one. Other than that, it's all good.

If you can see a RantTooltip options category with nothing in it. This means:
1. You're not using the latest version.
2. RantTooltip_Options is either disabled or not installed.

Make sure everything is setup properly.

edit: Didn't see the edit. My bad.
