TinyTip
<font>Please delete your all your TinyTip folders before upgrading to the latest version</font>
What is TinyTip? Well, it started out as just a simple upgrade over AF_Tooltip_Mini and exploded from there. Now it shares no code with what it used to be, becoming something more, while still staying true to its name. The core of TinyTip is basically just an upgrade over AF_Tooltip_Mini, a small file around 24KB. The more modules you allow to load, the more this value increases. The goal of TinyTip is to allow you to mix and match your modules while keeping the smallest memory footprint possible. All files except TinyTip.lua and its locale files are optional. You can take a look below, I've listed the optional files as "not required". If you don't use a file's features, you can safely remove it from the TOC.
Anyway, as you can guess, TinyTip changes the look of your GameTooltip. Here are the features found in core:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TinyTip (core)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In TinyTip.lua (required)
- Name, backdrop, and border (optional) colouring by reaction (Hostile, Friendly, etc.)
- Class coloured with raid colours.
- Level coloured by difficulty.
- Creature Type (Imp, Cat) given for Pets.
- UnitClassification (Humanoid, Undead, etc.) given for NPCs.
- Elite Status (Elite, Rare, WorldBoss, Rare Elite) added when applicable.
- (Tapped) for Tapped, (Corpse) for Corpse
- Optional Guild Names displayed. (on by default)
- Optional backdrop coloring for friends and guildies. (on by default)
- Optional Honor Rank Name or Number. (on by default)
- Optional "Hostile", "Friendly", etc. reaction text for the colour-blind. (off by default)
- Optional Compact Tooltip mode.
- English, German, French, and Chinese localization, and partial support for other clients.
In Embedded TinyTipAnchor.lua (not required)
- Positioning Options (Anchoring, Offsets)
In TinyTipTargets
- TargetOfTarget information - what is this tooltip's unit targeting?
- Search through Party members targeting this unit, or...
- Search through Raid members targeting this unit.
In TinyTipIcons.lua (TinyTipExtras, not required)
- PvP Rank Icon
- Buffs and Debuffs
- Raid Target Icon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In LoadOnDemand Addon TinyTipOptions
GUI Options, use /tinytip or /ttip to bring up the menu.
Only loaded if you use that slash command.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Troubleshooting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: TinyTip is preventing another tooltip addon from working.
A: Go into that other addon's TOC file and add/change this line to include TinyTip.
## OptionalDeps:
Q: I'm getting an error from TinyTip, or an option isn't working right.
A: 1) Check my WoWI portal to see if it's a known issue, and for updates.
2) Maybe your files are corrupt. Delete TinyTip, TinyTipExtras, and TinyTipOptions, then re-download them and install from stratch.
3) Your Saved Variable database may have gotten corrupt somehow. Try using /tinytip default and then /tinytip confirm to reset it.
4) If resetting your options doesn't work, exit WoW, delete all your Saved Variable files for TinyTip (global and per character), then restart WoW.
5) Leave a bug report on my WoWI portal.
Q: Where's the secret cow option?
A: There is no secret cow option.

Posted Jul 24, 2006For me the guildname of pvp flagged people is a bit lower in position than normally. Just a little bug, but i dont like it xD
Hope for the fix.
Other "problem" or feature request. Is there a possibilty that you add a % or value in on the healthbar in the tooltip? Maybe based on the MobInfo2 Data?
Thx, bye, tec aka Vir

Posted Jul 23, 2006Awesome they work with 1.4.5 - but now they are just huge :P
Is it possible to keep the tooltip at 100% but make the Raid Icon only about 50%?

Posted Jul 23, 2006Getting the following error when I mouse over any target with a Raid Icon, while in a Raid:
Error: Interface/Addons/TinyTip/Extras/TinyTipIcons.lua:90: Usage: <unnamed>:SetTexCoord(minX,maxX,minY,maxY) or SetTexCoord(ULx,ULy,LLx,URx,URy,LRx,LRy)

Posted Jul 23, 2006Had the 1.3 version of this and loved it! Upgraded to 1.4.4 but am having a problem with anchoring the tooltip. Using the GUI to set the frame tooltip to the cursor I can't get it to accept an offset: it sticks resolutely to the cursor. The "mob" tooltip works fine, set offset to 75 and it floats nicely above the cursor: it's just when I try to mouse over a tin vein or something like that I can't get the tooltip to separate from the cursor. Any ideas?

Posted Jul 23, 2006I just upgraded to Tinytip after using an tt from stoneage. Very good so far, and using it with Mobinfo2 gives good mob info in tooltip.

Posted Jul 23, 2006@rune X-Perl UnitFrames has a assisting/targetting me frame.
But as Thrae says, the only things that can be determined as targetting you are people that members of your raid already have targetted, or you happen to mouse over them.

Posted Jul 23, 2006@ rune - First off, this is obviously outside the scope of TinyTip. Secondly, there is absolutely no way to determine if players not in your party, raid, mouseover unit (tooltip), or target are targeting you. There's no event spawned or handler activated for enemy PCs and NPCs changing targets. The best you could do is iterate over all members of your raid and see if their target is targeting you. There are various mods out there that can do this.

Posted Jul 22, 2006im not sure if any addons exist out there in this fashion but if not let me propose this.
I have been wanting an addon that tells me who is looking at me. I see this addon has a "targeted by" list and if this functionality would be displayed in "Watcher" form it would be amazing, with a ding accompanying when the opposite faction is added to the list and the options to display or hide when npcs and friendlies target you.
this would make it alot easier to identify when you've been spotted as a rogue or what not, and would probably allow for better bg/pvp attacking. if this exists please redirect me to it, but if not i'd be willing to code something like this myself.

Posted Jul 6, 2006Hi,
Great addon have now dumped Tipbuddy so thanks for making this appreciate it heaps.
I am still having problems like others with Mob info 2 and GFW Hunters Helper. I have added to their Toc files the optional dependeny of TinyTip as you have instructed as to do but it hasn't worked at all sorry to say. Monkey Quest worked well after changing its Toc though which is great. i don't know if changing TinyTip to !TinyTip would help to load it before the others like you have done once b4? Anyway any suggestion would be appreciated as I really do miss these to functions. Hope you can help me and others that want this to work with MI2 and Hunters Helper. Also if those of you who have got it working lets us know what you have done incase it is something esle apart from updating the Toc file please.
Thanks again

Posted Jul 2, 2006TinyTip v1.3 will be out tommorrow afternoon unless someone finds any serious bugs with my latest SVN commit. v1.3 is a HUGE update, so it needed in-depth testing (didn't want something like 1.29).
