PhanxTooltip

Version: 7.3.5.0

by: Phanx [More]

I am no longer developing or maintaining World of Warcraft addons. I haven't played in years, and don't have the time or interest to continue working on addons for a game I don't play anymore. If you are an addon author interested in continuing one of my addons, please see https://phanx.net/addons/. If you are an addon user, sorry, but there won't be any more fixes or updates from me.

Simple tooltip modifications.

Border is colored by item type/quality, NPC reaction, or player hostility/class
Player names and classes are colored by dead/tapped/class
Hostile NPC and player levels are colored by difficulty
Target names are added to unit tooltips
Health bar is moved inside the tooltip
Icons are added for raid targets and linked items, spells, and achievements
PvP status moved from its own space-wasting line to the level/class line for hostile players, hidden for friendlies
Useless text (vanity titles, faction names, coalesced realm descriptions, fake level info on wild battle pets) is hidden
Coalesced realm names are marked with the traditional asterisk (*); permanently connected realms are not marked
Background and border colors are fixed (no more ugly navy blue background on mailboxes etc.)

IMPORTANT: There are no options, and none will be added, so don't ask. If you don't like how this addon works by default, and don't know how to change the code yourself, use some other tooltip addon. Posts on this page asking how to change the code will be deleted.

Language Support

Compatible with all languages. However, I didn't test in every language, so if something looks strange in your locale, please post a comment with a description and/or screenshot of the issue so I can fix it.

Feedback

Post a comment. If you are reporting a bug, please first make sure you have the latest version from this page, and then include detailed instructions I can follow to reproduce the bug myself, whether the bug still happens when all other addons are disabled, and the exact text of the accompanying error message (if any) from Bugger.

Fonts in the screenshot are Grad (serif) and DejaWeb (sans-serif). Border and bar textures are from another (private) addon. Colored "collected" text in the battle pet tooltip is from Better Battle Pet Tooltip.

Version 7.3.5.0

Tooltip is now hidden during combat unless a modifier key is pressed

There was some bug that wasn't getting fixed at the time (I don't recall what it was) and the addon did a lot more than I needed, and didn't do all the things I wanted, so I just wrote my own and hardcoded all the settings I wanted. I've been using it for a couple of years now... figured I might as well publish it. __________________ Retired author of too many addons.

Are you using any other addons that modify the tooltip? __________________ Retired author of too many addons. Message me if you're interested in taking over one of my addons.

Yes I did, sorry for the false alarm.

I know tiptac had a hard time with it, and when I would mouse over people while having MRP installed, it would flicker between the addon tooltips and the MRP ones.

Phanx Cat. Forum posts: 5617 File comments: 2321 Uploads: 54	I have no idea what "the mary sue protocol" is, but as long as the addon uses the standard GameTooltip:AddLine API method, it will work with PhanxTooltip. If it tries to replace existing lines or completely replace the tooltip, it will probably not work with PhanxTooltip. Just try it and find out. __________________ Retired author of too many addons.

Phanx Cat. Forum posts: 5617 File comments: 2321 Uploads: 54	Not interested, sorry. Any standalone addon that adds this (or any other info) to the tooltip should work fine, but I don't know of any offhand. __________________ Retired author of too many addons.

ckaotik A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 29 File comments: 168 Uploads: 5	I sometimes have the situation that the "@ Targetname" text is placed on the right hand side of the tooltip, which usually collides with previous lines of text. Is this behavior known/intended? __________________ It all starts to make a creepy kind of sense. Avatar

Phanx Cat. Forum posts: 5617 File comments: 2321 Uploads: 54	It shouldn't be possible for it to go on the right... how often does it happen? Does it seem to happen only in certain situations (fior example: only on enemy players in BGs) or not? Do you have any other addons modifying the tooltip? Can you post a screenshot next time you notice it happening? __________________ Retired author of too many addons. Message me if you're interested in taking over one of my addons.

ckaotik A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 29 File comments: 168 Uploads: 5	A weird side note: Just logged on and first had no world unit tooltips whatsoever (strange, but hovering unit frames worked fine). Disabled PhanxTooltip addon, Blizz' tooltips worked fine, re-enabled PhanxTooltip and they were back. Strange. Either way, the first person I found produced the bug Normally its more of the rare kind, something along one in twenty or so. Happens in raids, at the temple, in the open world - couldn't see a pattern there. Code: GameTooltipTextLeft1:GetText() => "\|cffffffffMithrandyr\|r" GameTooltipTextLeft2:GetText() => "\|cffffffff90\|r \|cffeeeeeeBlutelf Priester\|r" GameTooltipTextLeft3:GetText() => nil GameTooltipTextLeft4:GetText() => nil GameTooltipTextRight1:GetText() => nil GameTooltipTextRight2:GetText() => nil GameTooltipTextRight3:GetText() => "\|cffff2020@ \|cff33ff33San die Sanfte\|r\|r" GameTooltipTextRight4:GetText() => nil I'm on a Mac, using BetterBattlePetTooltip as well and have TipTac/ItemTooltipCleaner installed but disabled. There's also custom info on talents/role but that's just adding lines and shouldn't conflict. __________________ It all starts to make a creepy kind of sense.
