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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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.
it worked perfect! thanks, you have to open the .lua file, find: _G.GameTooltipStatusBar:Hide() self:AddScriptHook(GameTooltipStatusBar, "OnShow", function(this) this:Hide() end)
delete self:addscript -> end) change the _G.GameTooltipStatusBar:Hide() to : _G.GameTooltipStatusBar:Show() and save and your done, easy! :D
A longshot I'm sure, but does anyone know of another tooltip AddOn that uses DogTags? Or at the very least allows color changing of the tooltip background (red for hostile, green for guildie, blue for faction, etc)?
I adore CowTip, have it set *exactly* the way I like it (http://www.themook.net/mookui/#cowtip), but I just can't use it in Raids. Especially trying to heal a 25-man, the FPS turns into a slideshow even with all video settings at their lowest. At the moment I use TipTop during Raids, and CowTip the rest of the time, but that's not a great solution (TipTop is okay, but I can't configure the text colors, so all the info just sort of blends together; also can't change the background color by hostility, only borders).
Anyway, just interested to hear what folks are using in the interim until CowTip is a little more Raid-friendly (or to see if those of us getting the huge Raid spikes are just a minority).
People looking for a an adon to deal with tooltip display can check http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/tip-tac.aspx I played with it on test realm and I found if really nice. In many ways it can be configured to look and feel similar to CowTip. Surely its not as advanced as dogtag but at least its bug free and updated. I can finally see hp for walls, almost one year after wotlk release. Yay
Brilliant Veis, thanks much. I was certain I'd tried every other tooltip out there, but somehow TipTac slipped by me. It can be configured to be pretty close to my CowTip config, and memory-wise it doesn't even show up in the 'top 20' list of my AddOns.
Will try it out tonight in a 10-man, but so far it's looking good. Thanks for the pointer.
Its weird that when I'm raiding, I get a lot of addon memory filled up quickly (ie from ~40mb to ~70mb) within 6-7mins fight (and eventually over a 100mb and then my UI gets buggy because of too large addon memory stack error) I'm not sure what it is, but when I disable CowTip, it stays around 40-60 while raiding.
--** BUG **--
When i as a Shaman try to change totem in combat i can't and i get this error
"Interface action failed because of a AddOn"
Thats the only error i get
Im sure that it is CowTip, it is the only addon there is enable.
Will there be a fix for that ?
But great addon, just love it, keep up the good work... ;o)
in 1.3.2 an old bug where the container of the tooltip breaks when mousing from the zoom buttons on the map to any tracked target or raid member and having the tip anchored to the pointer.
also when in a raid the size of this addon increases quite rapidly (i've seen upto 13mb) then resets to its normal size (1.8 or so megs) then does this again and again. The other raid members don't even have to be in the same zone as you .. just being in a raid at all seems to cause this
_G.GameTooltipStatusBar:Hide()
self:AddScriptHook(GameTooltipStatusBar, "OnShow", function(this) this:Hide() end)
delete self:addscript -> end)
change the _G.GameTooltipStatusBar:Hide()
to : _G.GameTooltipStatusBar:Show()
and save and your done, easy! :D

You set the config and alls great and then you zone into a instance and even tho you check and all the settings are still there, they do not work. TIA

I've compiled all my current problems that I've found with the current version of Cow Tip in the image below.
