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:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
Very hope see update this addon for BFA
Has this been abandoned for Legion or will there be an update? I always really liked TinyTip as a tooltip addon, as TipTac feels overloaded for me.
update plesae ! :_)
Hi ..
I´ve ab problem .. By installing this addon the game is lagging while pointing to a player/npc .. do you know about this problem ?
Thx for this great addon
The addon is not yet updated for 7.0.3 so we'll just have to wait.
Using r276, and /tinytip and /ttip cause the following:
TinyTipOptions (Enable) LoadOnDemand Error - MISSING
;(
You need to download TinyTipOptions to get the slash commands (as stated in the above description. Downloading and installing it should fix your error.
Cheers!

Trying r276 but it says [R 5] in front of all players names for some reason...
Fixed some stuff in r276, thanks to Darkjimb at Curse.com!
I installed r275 that was added 2 days ago and i noticed that tinytip wasn't working at all, and x-perl had taken control over my tooltips.
I found a typo in TinyTip.lua line 335 saying this:
local enabled = GetAddOnEnableState("character", "TinyTipOptions")
Which should be:
local enabled = GetAddOnEnableState("character", "TinyTipOptions")
This fixed my problem, now all that remains is that i am not seeing the target of my target in the tooltip when mousing over
Hi, r276 should fix some issues, but I didn't find that typo though.
Could you update and get back to me?
Hey texke,
Updated and checked in game, it's working including target of target :-)
Just a heads up the notes in the toc causes the note in the addon control pnael to scroll across the screen.
Also, any news on the options module being updated?
It works great for me except that when I change zones, it stops working. I have to reload my UI to get it working again.Thank you for all your time and effort in this.
The fix I'm using is:
TinyTipBasic.lua line 45, TinyTipPositioning.lua line 36 and TinyTipTargets.lua line 45 (depending which ones you use)
_, localizedname, _, _, _, reason = GetAddOnInfo(name) to
_, localizedname, _, _, reason = GetAddOnInfo(name)
In TinyTip.lua line 292 and line 328
local reason = select(6, GetAddOnInfo(name)) to
local reason = select(5, GetAddOnInfo(name))
In TinyTip.lua line 335
local enabled, loadable = select(4, GetAddOnInfo("TinyTipOptions")) to
local enabled = GetAddOnEnableState("character", "TinyTipOptions")
local loadable = select(4, GetAddOnInfo("TinyTipOptions"))
It works! Thank you!
Thank you! Worked like a charm.
Thank you so much for this! Works perfectly again now :D
It works but it's really choppy when I hover over someone. Any tips?
