This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.
CowTip is a customizeable, tag-based tooltip addon. It is based on Rock and other libraries of the community. It is currently in beta.
CowTip isn't meant to be the smallest addon humanly possible, but it will be clean, configurable, and have the same polish I afford my other addons.
Working fine for me. Ok, the 1sek lag when hovering over my own portrait is slightly irritating and the unaccessable menu, rest is working as it should.
Lehto89's fix below worked. How hard would it have been for the maintainer (ANY maintainer) to have done that in the first place and posted the updated package?
This is, by far, my favorite ToolTip, and I have tried MANY of them.
It is such a shame this MOD is not being maintained.
Ya, sure, random people have found work a-rounds to prop this up due to lack of maintenance, but that is not sufficient.
One day this mod will die on a game patch and need more than jury-rigging to keep it going.
Why is there only one maintainer? If ckknight is so busy doing Curse related stuff that, as has been mentioned on various boards, he can't keep up then why not add maintainers?
I guess I need to go try "Tooltip - LuaTexts" - which actually contains modified "tooltip" code COPIED out of ckknight's PitBull4 addon. (That is even declared in the mod's description.) Wonder why it was not added to this mod? Kind of a funny situation..... not.
PS. Yes, I, like 90% of the people coming to this site, know this is free and is not a purchased product. I just believe a comment that doesn't scroll off the comments page could be put up so people know SOMETHING rather than nothing. Even a comment like "I hate you all - now go die" is better than nothing.
This is a definitely a case where silence is not golden.
Also, I am not trying to "dis" ckknight. He is actually one of my favorite authors - has been since Ace1.
Are there any plans at all to update this for Cata? I'm using TipTac but I don't like it; I'm far too used to the relative ease of customizing CowTip at this point.
And just as a note -- I've done the workarounds listed below, but on login I'm immediately flooded with errors. They're not working for the current patch.
I have this working with DogTag3, but I can't change any settings. Luckily I set it up a while back so it looks ok, but once in a while, I try to change the bar textures and I'm not able to. Any chance of an update?.... because I like it... I like it a lot...
Wall Health in SotA, Isle of Conquest etc are again not working for me, although applying these workaround patches have everything else working properly. hmm...
Is there no way to change text color? I did what okdewit suggested and everything seems to work fine, but there is no option to change text color. It's been awhile since I used this, but I thought I remember being able to do it before. I can only change the tooltip background color.
i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong, i updated the dogtag libs into the cowtip libs folder and edited the text in the config 1.0 lua but it is still not displaying. it's jsut not even displaying at all, i'm only getting the blizzard tooltip and no cowtip modification screen....help??
i'm confused. i've done everything, i've installed cowtip libraries separately, i adjusted the librockconfig-1.0.lua file and it's STILL not displaying. it's not even displaying as anything. before i updated the libraries they were at least displaying the error message tooltips in the right shape and size. now i've updated everything and cowtip isn't even existing, i'm back to blizzard standard tooltips but with cowtip enabled. can anyone help???
In curse client, right click on CowTip, click on "Install Libraries Seperately", refresh & update cowtip (says "nolib" after version number).
This way, dogtag gets updated because its installed as a seperate addon. You still need to fix Rock library though as spikeles suggested:
To fix the config interface so it works, open the file: CowTip\libs\LibRockConfig-1.0\LibRockConfig-1.0.lua change the line: local expand = (tex == [[Interface\Buttons\UI-PlusButton-Up]]) to: local expand = (tex == [[Interface\Buttons\UI-PlusButton-UP]])

Hello
Thank you very much for update libdogtag 3.0 and libdogtag unit
your addon is very interressant and very useful.
Bye
In curse client, right click on CowTip, click on "Install Libraries Seperately", refresh & update cowtip (says "nolib" after version number).
This way, dogtag gets updated because its installed as a seperate addon. You still need to fix Rock library though as spikeles suggested:
To fix the config interface so it works, open the file:
CowTip\libs\LibRockConfig-1.0\LibRockConfig-1.0.lua
change the line:
local expand = (tex == [[Interface\Buttons\UI-PlusButton-Up]])
to:
local expand = (tex == [[Interface\Buttons\UI-PlusButton-UP]])
Lib rock is in its own directory ofc now, so the lua file is is in addon folder in:
\LibRockConfig-1.0\LibRockConfig-1.0.lua
Thanks Lehto89, thats work perfect!
