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.

Any ideas?

You can try a difrent layout here:
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info15647.html (it was on the optional files section)
Just dont forget to NOT load the default and load the new one on the addons button on the character selection screen

In your layout file, find the lines that look something like this:

Code:

GameTooltipHeaderText:SetFont(font, 14, "OUTLINE")
GameTooltipText:SetFont(font, 13, "OUTLINE")

Comment these lines:

Code:

--GameTooltipHeaderText:SetFont(font, 14, "OUTLINE")
--GameTooltipText:SetFont(font, 13, "OUTLINE")

or just delete them.

Thanks.

(PS, nice addon! I'm using the Exaile layout and it looks cool.)

Add this to the function in your layout file:

Code:

self:SetScale(0.75)

The scale of 0.75 is just an example. The scale is usually any number between 0.1 and 1, but if you want to make it bigger, use a number greater than 1.

edit: There might already be a line that calls SetScale in the layout function, if there is, just change that to whatever you want.

There are no options. Everything is now configured in your layout.

edit: I might eventually create an addon that adds in-game options to RantTooltip as a completely separate plugin.

Ah, this is a problem with delete line. It's trying to call a function that isn't there. The reason it only happens with the classic layout is because the regular layout doesn't have to call DeleteLine normally. I'll fix this right now. Thanks for pointing this out.

edit: Uploaded a new version. All the errors should be fixed. Everyone let me know if you get anymore errors.
