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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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

With patch 4.0, the gold cap was changed from 214k to 1 million gold. Now when someone has more than 214k, the gold shown by TooltipWealth flows over from 214k to -214k. In other words, 224k gold will be shown as -204k, 428k gold as 0k, and so on.

Clearly, the problem is that wealth is stored as a signed 32bit integer in TooltipWealth, which is no longer sufficient to handle the new gold cap. I tried poking around in TinyTipWealth.lua, but I was not able to figure out how to make the appropriate changes.

If you need help testing, just let me know. I have enough gold to test any value between 0 and the new gold cap.

Uh, sorry, did you mean adding an API call? I *could* add that, actually. :)

Oops, sorry! I hadn't intended to commit the SVN revision with all the debug printing stuff, since I was just testing to see if achievement requests were still getting badly throttled. You should be able to downgrade the old v0.2 beta (http://www.wowace.com/addons/tinytip-wealth/files/29-v0-2-bump/) and have it still work.

Uh, I have to admit that my Cata box actually sat on my table for another 2 months, and that I've only actually reactivated last week, and that I've been mostly questing over the weekend. :P Look forward to some bugfixes soon!

I've just picked up my Cataclysm box, so I'll start looking into this as soon as I reactivate. :P

Is there any way to get this working with TukUI?

http://www.tukui.org/

I use this UI but it has a modified default tooltip, Wealth tooltip will not show.
Thanks for any help. :)

This is a great little addon.
I have some easy to implement feature requests.

1. Don't display silver and copper.
2. Round the gold to the nearest 10, 100, or 1000
3. Put spaces between sets of zeros like 10 000g (or implement number 2)

Otherwise this is great! Sure beats having to do it by hand each and every time.

I wanted to see if the addon worked, so I tested it with two friends. For the first one, it said he had around 2400 gold. I read him this amount, and he said he had 201 gold. The second person had 21 gold, but it said they had 243 gold.So, this add on does not work for me.At all

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

(copied from below)
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. This is the default, so your friends probably saved up to 243g/2400g once, but spent them already.

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).

So anyway, the addon is *not* supposed to be used to guess how much gold someone is, but how *wealthy* someone is by checking out their income and expenditure.

I really love this addon but it conflicts with my Gear Score addon. They fight over position in the tooltip is there any where else you could put it?

Hmm, tooltipwealth uses a pretty straightforward API to just append a line so it isn't supposed to happen... which gear score addon do you use?

Ok very simple solution to this problem which I didnt take into account before is that it wasnt showing the gear score because I wasnt close enough to inspect the person. sorry bout that.

Thanks! Yes, the achievement API can occasionally return bad numbers, but most of the time it should be accurate down to the shilling. :) So you probably have 'total gold acquired' turned on, and your friend probably spent a lot of money over time. :P
