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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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.
Few people have asked but I haven't seen an answer yet. Gonna get rid of CowTip soon as I find a solution that includes walls and door health. Was using TinyTip but it errors out on Catapults and the new IoC Glaive Throwers.
I like very much CowTip, so I played with the LUA files and I finally found out to show that damn health bars for walls and doors. Here what you have to do:
- Open the HealthBar.lua file in corrisponding dir
- Search for this function (about line 103):
function CowTip_HealthBar:OnEnable(first)
- Inside that function, replace:
I am finding CowTip to be extremely CPU intensive lately, to the point that I cannot raid with it installed. I downloaded an addon profiler and CowTip is using more CPU time than all my other addons combined. CPU usage goes up the more combat events are being delivered to my client, to the point where a boss fight in a 25 man raid brings my framerate down from 60 to about 10.

For some reason, I can't access where I go to customize this. /cowtip only brings up donation, enable, and disable. Only recently started doing this. Any suggestions?
Is this addon gonna be abandoned by author or should i get my hopes up that it will get updated? :)
Stuff like questhelper objectives not being shown in the tooltip and 3.2 around the corner, it would be nice to hear whether or not I should go look for something else when patch hits =)

Loving Cowtip, but the main reason I decided to spring for a tip addon was ArkInventory. All the tips there are attached to the mouse.
Can Cowtip grab those, or is there another way? Tips flying in my face while browsing my bags is killing me. :P
Thanks!

- Open the HealthBar.lua file in corrisponding dir
- Search for this function (about line 103):
function CowTip_HealthBar:OnEnable(first)
- Inside that function, replace:
_G.GameTooltipStatusBar:Hide()
self:AddScriptHook(GameTooltipStatusBar, "OnShow", function(this) this:Hide() end)
WITH
_G.GameTooltipStatusBar:Show()
- Save the file and you've done :)
This trick works for me on every wall and door i found (WG, Uldar & IoC).
Hope this help you all and sorry for my english :P
