TooltipWealth

Table of Contents

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

TooltipWealth (originally TinyTipWealth) is an Ace3 module that lets you sneakily inspect how much gold your mouseover target has made so far using the Achievement API.

Features

Display most gold ever owned (default)
Display total gold acquired - may be used to indicate the economic prowess of a character, but is usually wildly inflated for the wealth owned by auction house players as they tend to have very high income and expenditure.
Display average gold earned by day
Disable for opposite faction
Disable when in combat
Disable when not in major city
Show wealth as coins or plain text (e.g. 1g 10s)
Currently tested with: TinyTip, TipTac, TipTop, CowTip, normal game tooltip

It's not working?

Try mouseovering your target carefully. If you quickly move your cursor over a bunch of people, the addon can only query the first person you've mouseovered; due to the limitation of Blizzard's API and the server's generally slow response time, by the time we've got the wealth results back from the server your cursor is likely already on a different person, so ToolTipWealth will have to discard the data.

Warning

!!! Some might consider the use of this addon to be an intrusion of privacy, please do not abuse it for harassing or intimidating other players. !!!

Hey all, thanks for the bug reports! I had been on a hiatus from WoW, but I'll try and update my client and activate a 7-day free game time to take a loot at the reported errors. :P

I think there is a bug on Blizzard's end. Using "Compare Acheivements" and switching to the Statistics tab also gives duplicated information.

Nice addon! But after 5.0.4 it seems broken. When i hover over any other player, it will display exactly what my current toon has, not their wealth.

Could you make something which would show the number of times a player has killed a particular boss? I don't think the statistics UI shows it for all bosses, but whenever you kill one, it shows up in your guild news feed.

Both. :P Let me repaste this copypasta from next page;

WoW doesn't exactly let us see the actual amount of gold in another person's purse, but only gives us 2 stats:

Basically 'Most Gold Ever Owned' means the highest record of gold the person ever had in their purse. Sometimes, if a player always saves up gold and doesn't spend much (like splurge 20k on a motorbike) this will be the exact amount of gold they have.

Then 'Total Gold Acquired' is how much money the person has ever looted, earned and spent since level 1, so for most level 80 players this should be a pretty high number (even above 100k).

Your add-on is broken for me. It displays a number in a tool-tip but when I go to inspect the character's achievements manually the are grayed out. All the stats report "--" instead of a number. When I disable the add-on I can compare achievements properly. The number in the tool-tip is correct but if the price of that is disabling achievements totally that's just not acceptable.

Ah, I have a rough idea what causes this. (Though it's probably their fault :P) Will look into it over the weekend!

The v0.3-beta is definitely an improvement, info appears much quicker, but the integer you use for max gold is inaccurate and creates a large discrepancy for Most Gold Owned.

I changed Line 117 "local max = 2014179932" to "local max = 2147483648" (without quotes).

Awhile ago I added a personal option to view Average Gold Earned Daily if that's something you might like to add. I just slipped the code between your other values in two places.

local MOST_GOLD_OWNED = "334"
local AVG_EARNED_DAILY = "753"
local TOTAL_GOLD_ACQUIRED = "328"

and

[TOTAL_GOLD_ACQUIRED] = "Total gold acquired",
[AVG_EARNED_DAILY] = "Avg earned per day",
[MOST_GOLD_OWNED] = "Most gold ever owned"

This is a great addon, thanks for making and maintaining it.

Oops, that teaches me to write code at 2am, thanks for catching that.

Also that's actually a pretty nifty suggestion, but wouldn't it be inaccurate for Pre-Cata characters since wealth is only tracked from the day achievements were rolled out? I recall reading a discussion about calculating the true creation date of characters, will see if I can dig it up. :P
