3) Definitely left.

I'd move the level column to the far left and make it a bit more narrow, myself. The status column could do with being concatted into the name fields as well.

You are on the same wave length as me. I already removed the status column. Icons go to the right of the name from status. I'm thinking about adding faction and game for RealID.

Def blue for Real Name.

I could reduce LEVEL to LVL I suppose. Far right did you mean?

LibQTip is so awesome. Easy to port to. I just have 1 weird bug that I'll probably release with to get ideas on how to fix. (Bottom SetCell takes the font size off top SetCell after 2nd displaying of the tool tip).

Taroven A Cyclonian Forum posts: 49 File comments: 837 Uploads: 11	Very nice. I love the new away/dnd icons. Haven't noticed the font bug you mentioned quite yet. The extra info in RealID takes up quite a bit of space, resulting in the tooltip having a lot of dead space on the right side for the friend/guild portion. I'm thinking some of the information could be consolidated like so: Real Name \| Toon \| Level \| Location* \| Note *: If the player is on WoW and on the same server+faction, show zone. If on a different server or faction, show as "Server/Faction". If playing a different game, show the game name instead. Seeing the real name first would make a little more sense than having it at the far right, especially when rarely seen alts are involved. It does break up the tooltip's consistency a bit though. I'll whip up something on my end and PM you with the code once I've got something workable. I was actually thinking of placing the level to the left of the name, possibly even without a header. Honestly though, it's completely fine how it is now. It just seemed to have too much spacing when I first tried SocialState. Justification looks about perfect across the board. __________________ Former author of EventHorizon Continued and Other Releases.

Torhal showed me the error of my ways so it was fixed :-)

I love the Location idea. I'm also thinking about mergining Real Name / Toon name. And yeah the Level to the left makes a lot of sense.

See what you think of this:

Real ID
COL 1 - Level (no field)
COL 2/3 - (Check if in group)Realname - [Toon name](AFK/DND)
COL 4 - Note
COL 5/6 - Location .. Could be (FactionIcon)Realm Name - Zone

Friends
COL 1 - Level (no field)
COL 2 - Name
COL 3/4 - Note
COL 5/6 - Zone

Guild
COL 1 - Level (no field)
COL 2 - Toon
COL 3/4 - Player Note / Officer Note
COL 5 - Zone
COL 6 - Rank

Could be (FactionIcon)Realm Name - Zone COL 6 - Note Friends COL 1 - Level (no field) COL 2 - Name COL 3/4 - Zone COL 5/6 - Note Guild COL 1 - Level (no field) COL 2 - Name COL 3 - Zone COL 4 - Rank COL 5/6 - Player Note / Officer Note Returns from the BNet info functions are a little awkward. Factions return as a number, not a string. Alliance returned 1 for me, don't have a horde friend to crossreference. Just a heads-up. Might be easier to just use the 11th(?) return of BNGetFriendToonInfo, which is a Zone-Realm string. Edit: Here's all returns I get from BNGetFriendToonInfo() when checking a RealID friend on the same realm and faction. Might be useful if you don't have concrete data yet. AceConsole is a wonderful thing. Code: 1 = true (unsure), 2 = "CharName", 3 = "WoW" (game identifier), 4 = "RealmName", 5 = 1 (faction, I'm alliance and thus assuming 2 is horde), 6 = "Race", 7 = "Class", 8 = "empty string of some sort", 9 = "Zone", 10 = "Level" (use tonumber(level) for difficulty color if ya want, it's a string for some reason), 11 = "Zone - Realm", 12 = "empty string of some sort" (probably note?), 13 = 0 (no idea), 14 = true (no idea) Edit 2: RealID friend color is 00b1f0 (r = 0, g = 177, b = 240) if you need it. __________________ Former author of EventHorizon Continued and Other Releases.

Ahh true.

Horde returns zero. Which isn't an issue since only 2 factions exist. Can check for game type later on.

Perhaps a long term place is to put everything into a table for sorting. And then make a parser so that people can design their own look.

It was once small and nice, now it takes up 80% of my screen when I hover over it. I also noticed Fontifier doesn't work anymore with it. Could this be because of the new implementations? Is there any other way to make it smaller, etc? It's kind of blinding me right now. x_x;

Can you link a screen shot for me?

I've never used Fontifier but SocialState changed from Tabletlib to LibQTip. It uses GameTooltipText / GameTooltipHeaderText. Not sure if that info will lead you to a solution.

Check my last post, just added some extra info if you need it.

1.4.0 comes with the design we were talking about. See what you think.

It also has a few config options that people have been asking for: Hiding Guild MotD and Hint lines. Right clicking SocialState's Broker widget will take you to config.

I'm learning a lot about Lua and the WoW API these last few days. And project management.

Taroven A Cyclonian Forum posts: 49 File comments: 837 Uploads: 11	Haven't seen RealID yet, but I'm certain it'll be perfect. Excellent stuff, CodeRedLin. Lua's definitely not as scary as a lot of people make it out to be. Once one has the basic concepts down, it all seems to fall right in place. I've got my personal irks with the API (for example, statusbar stretching and how it seems to change every patch), but in the end I often have more fun coding than playing. __________________ Former author of EventHorizon Continued and Other Releases.

It'd be interesting if that changed it. I'm using a few other brokers that still work with Fontifier, but, then again, they haven't been updated as of yet.
I'm also using Tiptac (I just remembered haha). It might just be a combination of these crazy things.

Example of another tooltip: http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/6...oltipexamp.jpg

Example of SS' tooltip: http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/8163/tooltipss.jpg

I had to rescale my UI so it would be smaller. I took UI scaling off and it took up the entire screen. :/

Taroven A Cyclonian Forum posts: 49 File comments: 837 Uploads: 11	Just found a minor bug. The Note field seem to be clipped a bit on mine. It's probably Tiptac mucking with things, about half the right bracket is missing on the longest note of the bunch. Definitely not a big deal. __________________ Former author of EventHorizon Continued and Other Releases. Last edited by Taroven : 06-28-10 at 03:48 PM.

Ahh that one guild note / officer note are making the tooltip huge I think.
As of right now nothing can be done about it. I took a few steps to reduce the width with options to disable GMotD and the Hint line. Still a lot to be done.
