Compare Stats *Discontinued*  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.2-1.12
by: Dialos [More]

****I am no longer updating this mod. If you wish to get similar functionality I suggest looking at Ratings Buster which now does some similar stat Calculations to what I was trying to do here.

Ever loot a new item and it looks like it's better, but when you equipped it the stat changes weren't what you expected? Compare Stats will tell you the basic stat differences between an equipped item and one that you are moused over. Besides calculating the differences in the basic stats it will also calculate HP and mana gain/lose, attack power from strength and agility and dps based on attack power and ranged attack power.

Features:
* Calculates the difference between an equiped item's stats and one you moused over.
* Calculates HP and Mana gain or lose when either item has Stamina or Intellect. Also takes into account Tauran racial bonus of 5% to health.
* Calculates attack power gain or lose based on formulas for each class.
* Calculates the added DPS gained or lost from the attack power bonus.
* Shows attack power and DPS changes for all forms if you are a druid.
* Ranged Attack Power and DPS gained or lost.
* Compare to offhand slot by holding down the Alt key. This works with rings and trinkets as well.

Things to do/bugs:
I am working on adding more calculated stats to the tooltip; Crit%, dodge, parry, block, etc.
* Make it possible to switch between embedded data and having it's own tooltip.
* If the Gametooltip is above a certain number of lines CompareStats data will display in it's own tooltip regardless of selected mode.
* Create saved variables so user can set where the tooltip is anchored to.

Changes:
9/23/06 1.2 - Fixed the bug where the mod would not display info at first until the alt key was pressed. Should start working immediately now.
8/30/06 1.1 - Returned to embedding the data in the game tooltip for now.
Added Alt key functionality for comparing 1h weapons to the offhand. This works with rings and trinkets as well. The word "Alt" will appear in the tooltip to indicate this.
Offhand items will now compare to the main hand if a 2h weapon is equipped. The word "Main" will appear in the tooltip to indicate this.
2h weapons will now compare to both weapon slots if an offhand item is equipped. The word "Both" will appear in the tooltip to indicate this.
Confirmed that the latest version of Bagnon works without adding any additional code.
Druid stats for bear and cat form should now be correct.
Improved code to address data disappearing from the tooltip.
Using GFWTooltip.lua, GFWUtils.lua and GFWTable.lua from Fizzwidget's addons. They simplified a lot of the work I was doing. So a special thanks to Fizzwidget for some great mods and awesome work.
7/27/06 1.0 - New version number due to complete rewrite of the mod.
No longer dependent on EnhTooltip or Stubby.
Added Ranged Attack Power and Ranged DPS based on attack power.
Due to the new tooltip most should find the text to be a lot more readable at higher resolutions.
Also, the stats are grouped now, with basic stats appearing at the top of the tooltip and calculated stats coming after.
Lines of text are now colored red or a shade of red when they are negative and green or some shade of blue or yellow if they are positive.
Added a localization file.
Updated the screen shot.
Updated the TOC (no really, I did this time)
The only bug I know of deals with the tooltip when there is not an item equipped to compare to. Hopefully the author of BonusScanner gets back to me on this as I think I'm bypassing something in his mod that updates his tables.
7/23/06 0.3 - Changed the file name to reflect the current version of WoW. For some reason I put 1.10.
Changed the tooltip config to embedded to fix an issue with text going outside the tooltip. This may also fix the scaling issues some people are having. Let me know. I tested it at both 1024x768 (what I play at) and 1280x1024 and it looked good to me.
Added the latest version of EnhTooltip to the zip file. If you use Auctioneer then stay with the versions of Stubby and EnhTooltip you already have, CompareStats should work fine with any recent version.
7/21/06 0.2 - Added attack power calculations and dps based on basic stats. This only calculates dps based on attack power, it does not look at weapon stats.
7/21/06 0.1 - Initial release

Dependencies: BonusScanner (included in the zip file)

Optional Files (0)

Re: Re: EngInventory

Actually, EngBags is back in development, by a new author - Still, I use Bagnon and MrPlow now and prefer it.

A side comment - As soon as you are able, see if you can put the comparison info into a seperate tooltip again... If you use mods that add other info to the tooltip, you often run out of room and can't see all of the data.

Thank you!
I'll second Dialos' reccomendation for Bagnon. I'll further reccomend Mr.Plow, which works very well with Bagnon for all your inventory sorting needs.

@Dialos
I've downloaded the newest version of comparestats, and I'm going to go beat it up now
From the screenshots you posted, great work!

Edit:
I've tried it and it works great.
I'm surprised to see however, that while it works in Bagnon, but not in Banknon. Does it work in the default bank? can someone else test that?

From what I've found searching curse and ui.worldofwar.net EngInventory is no longer in developement. Unfortunately I can't provide support for every all-in-one bag solution out there and least of all one that is no longer up to date. I'm sorry, I have limited time to work on mods already. I would suggest Bagnon as it does the same thing minus the auto sorting.

I know how it is to have that one mod you can't do without. I've had to abandon a few because they've fallen so far out of date.

Update

Just wanted to let everyone know that I've been hard at work with the 1.1 version of CompareStats.

Many great new features have been added. The main one being the ability to compare 1h weapons to the offhand by holding down the ALT key. This funtionality also works with rings and trinkets.

I was in the middle of testing the latest beta version when the patch went live and my server hasn't been up or stable since. So as soon as the server is up I'll work on finishing my tests then hopefully will have a release some time this week. Also, BonusScanner hasn't been updated by it's author yet. Hopefully he get's that updated soon.

Please bear in mind that I know absolutely nothing about addons or the way they work. WIth that in mind, I decided to try altering the CompareStats.toc to include Bagnon as an optional dependancy. I also added EnhTooltip and Stubby, just for kicks.
I didn't have to do this with Tinytip, but a friend who is beta testing the next version for me uses Bagnon and we had problems with the tooltip updating or even displaying at all when Bagnon was enabled. Adding it to the optional dependancy may be a quick fix, I'll have him try that, but I'll work on hooking to whatever update function it is using.

It seemed to work. Maybe it's something else, but if anyone else wants to give this a shot, go for it. Now if I only didnt have to use Auctioneer, Enchantrix and Informant in Embed mode, I'd be happy
I've been very unhappy with the way the tooltip turned out in 1.0 and will be returning to embedding my data in the GameTooltip. This is so I don't have to worry about tooltip placement (less code ) and the text will scale with the GameTooltip. It's just alot easier and other mods that modify the GameTooltip seem to just fall into place before or after mine.


Also Dialos, I love the idea of a keybinding for showing multiple items that might be changed. If it's possible, I'd like to see optional keybindings for displaying the tooltip info at all, similar to the other mod you suggested, EquipCompare. Plato
I could do that, will just have to register a variable to be saved between sessions. May not make it in to the next version, but I'll try.

or, you could use the embed functions.

/auctioneer embed
/enchantrix embed
/informant embed

this will display less data for those addons, but CompareStats will properly show beneath the tooltip.

Thanks for the screenshot. The tooltip looks a lot bigger then it appears on my systems. Goes to show that what works for me probably won't be right for everyone else. Lessons learned I guess.

Actually, when I was referring to the bag addons I was talking about the 3 second display issue. Is that still happening?

I've been working on a new version and have been having a lot of problems with getting the tooltip placement somewhere that won't be in the way, but at the same time isn't awkward. I'm probably going to go back to having the info embedded in the gametooltip. It was alot easier to work with and I don't have to worry about overlapping tooltips.

I'm still trying to resolve the empty equipment slot bug. I'm beginning to think it's something in BonusScanner.

As for comparing to multiple items. It occurred to me while writing this that it would be fairly easy to do this by simply checking for a key press, like shift or alt. By holding down the hotkey it would compare to the secondary slot. This would in fact work for rings and trinkets too. Now, I just need to figure out how to do it.

Though, I can't do that until I resolve the above mentioned bug with empty equipment slots. Otherwise you'll just get a blank tooltip and that won't get you much info now will it.

Anyway, thanks for all the posts. It's really helping me keep focused knowing that people actually want to see this mod work.

Another thing I've noticed is that when comparing a two-hand weapon it'll tell me what I'll loose/gain only compared to the main hand, not the main hand and the offhand.

Also.. if I'm mouseovering a one-hand weapon it won't compare to both weapons equipped.
if it's a one-hand or if I have two one-hands and no main-hand equipped I might be interested in getting the compare against both of them. (not summed, but two windows)

What would also be nice is the possibility to scale the window and fontsize down a bit if doable.
