I am not currently working on TinyTip and cannot guarantee it will ever get updated for Cataclysm. I recommend Leatrix Tooltip for low resource usage and TipTac or TipTop for a more featureful option, but with more resource usage. Thank you for your patronage.
Comments Parsed 6-13-09
- Description Updated -
- Note: I do not maintain TinyTipOptions -
What is TinyTip? Well, it started out as just a simple upgrade over AF_Tooltip_Mini and exploded from there. Now it shares no code with what it used to be, becoming something more, while still staying true to its name. The core of TinyTip is basically just an upgrade over AF_Tooltip_Mini, a small file around 24KB. The more modules you allow to load, the more this value increases. The goal of TinyTip is to allow you to mix and match your modules while keeping the smallest memory footprint possible. All TinyTip addons are optional.
Anyway, as you can guess, TinyTip changes the look of your GameTooltip. Here are the features found in core:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TinyTip
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Required only for interoperability between TinyTip addons.
- Required by TinyTipOptions and nothing else so far.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TinyTipBasic (core formating)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Name, backdrop, and border (optional) colouring by reaction (Hostile, Friendly, etc.)
- Class coloured with raid colours.
- Level coloured by difficulty.
- Creature Type (Imp, Cat) given for Pets.
- UnitClassification (Humanoid, Undead, etc.) given for NPCs.
- Elite Status (Elite, Rare, WorldBoss, Rare Elite) added when applicable.
- (Tapped) for Tapped, (Corpse) for Corpse
- Optional Guild Names displayed. (on by default)
- Optional backdrop coloring for friends and guildies. (on by default)
- Optional Honor Rank Name or Number. (on by default)
- Optional "Hostile", "Friendly", etc. reaction text for the colour-blind. (off by default)
- Optional Compact Tooltip mode.
- English, German, French, and Chinese localization, and partial support for other clients.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TinyTipPositioning
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- Positioning Options (Anchoring, Offsets)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TinyTipTargets
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- Who's targetting your tooltip mob?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In LoadOnDemand Addon TinyTipOptions
GUI Options, use /tinytip or /ttip to bring up the menu.
Only loaded if you use that slash command.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Troubleshooting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: TinyTip is preventing another tooltip addon from working.
A: Go into that other addon's TOC file and add/change this line to include TinyTip.
## OptionalDeps:
Q: Help! I'm getting incredibly long / infinite load times with TinyTipExtras / TinyTipOptions!
A: There is a bug with Ace2 addons (specifically, AceLibrary) which was fixed in the latest revision. If possible, update your addons.
Q: I'm getting an error from TinyTip, or an option isn't working right.
A: 1) Disable all other addons and see if the problem still occurs.
2) Check my WoWI portal to see if it's a known issue, and for updates.
3) Maybe your files are corrupt. Delete TinyTip, TinyTipExtras, and TinyTipOptions, then re-download them and install from stratch.
4) Your Saved Variable database may have gotten corrupt somehow. Try using /tinytip default and then /tinytip confirm to reset it.
5) If resetting your options doesn't work, exit WoW, delete all your Saved Variable files for TinyTip (global and per character), then restart WoW.
6) Leave a bug report on my WoWI portal.
Q: Where's the secret cow option?
A: There is no secret cow option.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changelog (Release)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in v30100
- Updated TOC as the basic TinyTip modules have been confirmed working.
- Fixed a small bug in guild lines.
- Removed modules from TinyTip (core) as people expressed problems with them. Use the standalone versions.
Changes in v1.4.16
- Thanks to twobits and copystring, we now not only have full 3.x compatibility, but we also have a new TinyTipOptions. It's included in the zip as a separate addon.
Changes in v1.4.12
- Thanks to many people for updating this addon on the Wowace SVN while I was away. Here's the official release. It still has a few bugs in it that I'll sort out in the next few weeks, as I work on an overhaul with new features. I'll try to keep you people up-to-date.

Less bloated/better than both of those (and updated): TipTop. Even lighter weight (all it does is resposition the tooltip to where you want): Tipsy. --------------- The problem with TinyTip here is that the original author (Thrae) hasn't been active in the WoW community & has not done an update to it in over a year. The current "maintainer" of TinyTip over at WoWAce--Twobits--hasn't done much with it. He's uploaded his "changes" to both here and Curse. Like most maintainers of abandoned mods (unfortunately), all he's done is update the TOC files & libraries. As well as done a single minor code change having nothing to do with the buggy options. And that was three months ago. Looks unlikely much more will be happening with TinyTip. So try one of the other mods above if not being able to adjust the options of this one is an issue for you. I'm still using TinyTip as it consumes less CPU than any of the above (other than Tipsy) and does all I need it to without having to adjust options . |

btw.. dunno if anyone noticed.. but I've got some odd fps drops when hovering my mouse over stuff while using TinyTip...
fps drops with like 10-15 fps don't know if it's just me or not.. but it's slightly frustrating no error msg or anything though besides the ones I've already mentioned |

I can't find Smart anchoring option in the latest version of tinytip
I've gone back to the previous one I've been using for now since it works perfectly if you don't mess with the options |

Titles
Hi, is there any option, how can I add titles in names? I'd like to see 'Gladiator' before name for example in the tooltip. There is option to do this in CowTip putting
[(if [IsPlayer or [IsEnemy and not IsPet]] then ClassColor end) NameRealmvprank] instead of normal name, but I'd like to use rather TinyTip. Can you help me how to edit .lua to reflect this? Thanks. |

Re: talents
If you really have some valid reason to see a person's chosen talents in your tooltip (why not just inspect them?), there is TipTacTalents which can work with any tooltip addon. But look out for problems. |
