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.

Sounds like the same issue I'm having with Quest Helper's tooltip info not displaying in rantTooltip's tooltips. That's the sort of information QH displays. "Slay for quest: "Blahblahblah" - Soandso's progress: X/Y"

Hi, I just started using this mod cause my old tooltip mod was discontinued, now I must say I do like what you got here, its pretty easy to set up since I know a tiny bit about coding.

Now I ran into a limitation though, I set my tooltip to stay on top using the TOP command and a little bit of an offset to account for my Fubar being up there, but I wanted to make it so the background colour was based on their Reaction, i tried ( UnitReactionColor ), and "UnitReactionColor", but neither of them worked, I was wondering if this was a limitation on the coding or what. Is there any way I can make it do this?

I'm currently planning a bit of a recode that will allow more customization like this as well as saved variables for everything. Possibly GUI options if I convince myself to do so.

Vytae, I'll look into it.

vpr, what do you mean? Are you using a quest tooltip addon?

Somnifer, I don't have this addon set up for the auto updater.

It's finding rantTooltip just fine, confirming the author and version are correct, and downloading it, but when I tell it to install it says "Error - Unsupported Addon"

TinyTip filled in the background according to reaction and it would show different colors between flagged and unflagged players.

The problem is, a pvp flag isn't necessarily a reaction. The borders show the unit's reaction, whether they're pvp flagged or not is something completely different.

If you have an idea of how to incorporate the pvp flag into the color scheme, I would add it. But to me, it doesn't seem like there is any simple way to do it.

Thanks again!

I'll have to look and see how Quest Helper works. If it just adds lines to the tooltip, it should work fine. If its not displaying its information on rantTooltip, it wouldn't be displaying it regularly either.

I've been using rant with other addons that add lines, such as carbonite quest and rating buster and it works fine. I'll look into it.
