About Tooltip - LuaTexts

(former CowTip_LuaText)

Allows to configure the content of unit-tooltips with custom Lua-Codes.

It uses a modified version of PitBull4's LuaText-ScriptEnv.
Some functions were removed.
Some new were added.
Some were modified to better suite for tooltips.

If Cowtip is installed it automatically disables cowtips built-in dogtag-based text-module.

v0.9.1-beta:
* make talent-query a little smoother
* use error-handler for script-errors

v0.9-beta:
* move API to a "provider-system" to easily extend the addon by other
  textproviders
* add support for dogtags (in a deactivatable dedicated module)
* add localization-support

v0.8-beta:
* properly embed LibTalentQuery
* redesign the config-UI
* add options for using templates and plain text in lines

v0.7.1-beta:
* fix some errors while scanning the original tooltip
* bump toc to 40000
* reenable talent-scanning with throttling in place
* more robust error-handling

v0.7-beta:
* fix color of first line
* add icon for gender
* disable talent-scanning for now (causes a lockout)

v0.6.3-beta:
* fix healthbar not showing up

v0.6.2-beta:
* fix ScriptEnv to work in Cataclysm

v0.6.1-beta:
* rename the addon to Tooltip_LuaTexts
* add addonloader support
* add support for afk, dead, offline-durations

v0.6-beta:
* detach from cowtip
* completely move from Rock to Ace3

v0.5-beta:
* fix that bug in ShortClassification that occured on "trivial" mobs
* redesign options completely using AceConfig
* add option to write information on an error to the Chat when it occurs

    needing lua help. I want to display the target's guild reputation rank on the target frame. So far all I can find is GetguildInfo(unit) and that returns up to 3 options: Guild Name, Guild Rank, and a number which I assume is the 'level' of the guild rank assigned.

    anyone know what the code is to pull up guild reputation?

    -----
    also, when i used GetGuildInfo(unit) on any target, it always shows MY guild info, and not the info of my target. how to do right?

    I have used CowTip so far, but stopped working with Patch 4.0.1 :(

    Is Tooltip - LuaTexts an alternative?

    First of all, thanks for a nice addon.
    I would like to know if there is any way to move the "tip anchor" so it won't be blocking my other UIs.

    It seems this addon is independent to Cowtip now. But health bar is gone if I only enable this addon without Cowtip. Any way to fix it?

    The LuaText-module is a _copy_ of Pitbull4's. They are not necessarily compatible though. There are function that are only available in this addon and there might be functions only available in Pitbull4.

    If you feel that some function should be included create a Ticket.

    testing this with default LuaTexts from Pitbull4, it doesn't work at all.

    If I add any custom text at all, my tooltip shows only player name and ignores all other lines, regardless of wether I changed the code for that line or not. (e.g i change the code for Target in line 3, the Guild info in line 2 disappears)

    Do your additional helper functions (e.g. TalentSpec()) work in pb4? or are they CowTip only?

    Hello, could you share your luatext for the tooltip in the screenshot? In particular, I want to know how you got it to show the talent line (as pictured: Affliction 52/0/15). I want to switch my CowTip from libdogtag to luatext but I really like the ability to show the talents, and I don't see how to do that with luatext. tyvm!

    Wow, I should have just downloaded and looked at your source--I see you added some methods (TalentSpec(), TalentSpecName() and TalentSpecIcon()) to handle the talents. Awesome! I'd still like to see your whole luatext however, if you get a chance. ty again.

    The tooltip in the screenshot uses only the default-texts in CowTip_LuaText. Egoistic as I am, I made the default-settings exactly as I want them to be ;).
