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.

StatusBar.Tags = "" what script would i put in there to make it show me health values and not the 100% text? this tooltip looks great. I can't wait for when gearscore works with it. I use a lot of mods and i'm always finding ways to replace memory hog addons with lighter ones. Last edited by strawberrie : 12-31-09 at 01:14 PM.

That will make the pvp line green.

On a side note, you can do this for other functions too. Just as an example, if the function isn't so simple, you could do it this way:

Code:

local tag = RantTooltip.Tags["$pvp"] RantTooltip.Tags["$pvp"] = function(unit) return (tag(unit) or ""):gsub("|c%x%x%x%x%x%x%x%x", "|cff00ff00") end

thx! now i got everything setup the way i like it, i love this mod and the new layout is great, lol

Could you think of any practical way to have dynamic tooltip anchoring as an option? If you can, I'll add it.

I'm working on it.

How to change anchor point to "BOTTOMRIGHT", UIParent, "RIGHT", -20, 200?

I imagine it would be something like:

Code:

RantTooltip:SetInitialAnchor{"RIGHT", -20, 235}

I'll change SetInitialAnchor in the future to allow other points.

What exactly do you want to change? I'm sure if you just ask here, you'll get plenty of help.

That's very weird, but i'm very sure i did a ''kill X amount of mobs'' type of quest and it didn't say how many i've killed.

The current power values? Look in your layout file. Under the "Health" conditional of the "for" for the statusbars, there should be a line that says something like,

Code:

statusBar.Tags = "{$miss }$perc%"

Copy and paste that line below, under "else" and change the variables to whatever you want, of course.

edit: Forgot to mention you need to put a text region there too. The code under the "else" should look something like this:

Code:

else
	statusBar.Anchor = { 0, 25 }
	statusBar.unitColors = true
	statusBar.powerColors = false
	
	statusBar.bg:SetTexture("Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground")
	statusBar.bg.color = 0.3
			
	statusBar:SetHeight(12) --set a bigger height
	statusBar:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self.HealthBar, "BOTTOMLEFT", 0, -1)
	statusBar:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", self.HealthBar, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, -1)
				
	statusBar.text = statusBar.text or statusBar:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")
	statusBar.text:SetFont(font, 12, "OUTLINE")
	statusBar.text:SetJustifyH("CENTER")
	statusBar.text:SetAllPoints(statusBar)
	statusBar.Tags = "{$miss }$perc%"
end

edit: another thing, is there any way to display this line properly

Code:

"{[$guild]}{ ($rank)}",

nm what i try either the line does not display at all, the [] brackets around the guild name display in orange or the 1st ( of the rank displays in purple

This was hard to code for me for me because the actual variable tags return the color, not the constant text like "[" or "]", so I had to figure out a way to color the rest of the text using the color that the variable function returned. As of right now, it only works with single variable lines, which is why it doesn't work properly with $rank in there too. I just fixed this for the next update which will be soon.

edit2: any way to make hostile NPC name colors actually red ? they seem to be displayed in the orangeish hostile faction color (instead of red for hated)

that reaction color "bug" might be related to the error richerich posted, said error only pops up when targeting NPCs or mobs, but not for players [/b]

Yes. If you liked the old reaction colors, there is a way to change them. Open your layout, and the default reaction colors for that layout look like this:

Code:

RantTooltip.ReactionColors[2] = {1, 0, 0}
RantTooltip.ReactionColors[4] = {1, 1, 0}
RantTooltip.ReactionColors[5] = {0, 1, 0}

Delete all of those lines and replace them with:

Code:

RantTooltip.ReactionColors = {
	{ 1, 0, 0 },
	{ 1, 0, 0 },
	{ 1, 0.5, 0 }, 
	{ 1, 1, 0 },
	{ 0, 1, 0 },
	{ 0, 1, 0 },
	{ 0, 1, 0 }, 
	{ 0, 1, 0 },
}

Will this be fixed aswell?

I'm assuming you're referring to the health text. Yes, it is already fixed and ready for the next update.

Quest information seems to be missing from the tooltip also.

Are you sure? Quest information was on the tooltip in the screenshot you posted.

is it only me or really no options gui in this version? In the old addon I could setup in the game interface/addons tab, but now I can't find options anywhere.

There aren't any GUI options anymore. Everything is now configured in the layout instead.

I'll have to look at the conflicts with GearScore and Clique. From just looking at the code I can't see anything that would conflict with RantTooltip. When do these errors occur using gearscore or clique?
