About ShinyStats

ShinyStats was inspired by a mod called StatStain, made by Nymbia in 2007.
Its goal is to make various stats of an item easy to separate from each other and make usefull stats easy to distinguish.
Perhaps you would like all stats not beneficial for your class to be greyed out, while usefull stats have various happy colors? No problem!


Features

  • Now plays nicer with RatingBuster
  • Colors the various stats of item tooltips (including the comparison tooltip)
  • Prefixes enchants with the abbrevation "Ench:" (or corresponding in the clients language)
  • Replaces the word "and" in sockets/enchants with the separator of choice – sentences such as "+25 Agility and +15 Hit" becomes "+25 Agility, +15 Hit"
  • Configuration is done using Blizzards addon interface
  • The color of each stat can be customized to fit the needs of the user
  • The various extra features provided by the addon can be turned on/off
  • Profile support

Configuration

  • /shiny or /shinystats to view command line options
  • /shiny config to view the blizzard addon interface controls for ShinyStats (recommended)
  • /shiny aceconfig to view the WowAce settings for ShinyStats (if preferred over the blizzard one)

FAQ

ShinyStats breaks the display of my item's item level!
You are most likely using RatingBuster, enable "RatingBuster compatibility" in ShinyStats config or
disable RatingBuster coloring item level and appending item id.

However seeing I wish to help others who look for such an addon, Im making it public and will try to improve it accordingly. Please bear in mind; I give no guarantees what so ever, neither for its functionality nor coming updates when something brakes.

    Hi :)

    First of all, I really love this addon since it helps me evaluate items with a quick glance. However since the update yesterday it seems that something is broken, at least for me...

    When I logged on today everytime I hovered over an item in my backpack, in the crafting window or anywhere else I had my chat frame spammed with (i guess) around 25 lines of info from my tooltip. E.g. 25 lines of the "buy at vendor price" or the "sell to vendor price" or the describing text line for quest items and most of the time 3-4 times 25 lines per item. :(

    Systematically disabling and reenabling my addons showed that this stops when I disable shiny stats... something I really don't like to do ;) So I really hope, that there is a way to fix this. If you need more info just say so, I'll try to provide it.

    New version uploaded. Some debug code accidently slipped past the packager... Oops :)

    Glad you like the addon!

    Same here, and all item levels are still shown as 800 with this addon enabled.

    You can either disable RatingBuster coloring item level and adding item ID, or enable the setting "RatingBuster compatibility" in ShinyStats (latest update). One of those should resolve your issue.

    Two addons attempting to color the same thing usually ends up bad :)

    When this addon is loaded all equipable item levels are reported as 800.

    I use Ratingbuster to display item levels and they are displayed correctly without this addon loaded.

    There are no error messages displayed.

    Also, weapon damage are not colored, but remains default white.

    Hi Sykopat,

    I haven't played WoW since early 2011. Hence, this mod has not been updated (since February 2011), which undoubtedly means things have broken.

    This means I'm currently not actively maintaining this project. I am considering trying out Mists of Pandaria however, which if I do, most likely means I will pick up on this project and get it to a working state.

    Hang in there,
    Xiiph

    I've discovered a small bug that's seems to be centered around cooking recipes. When looking at the recipe vendor recipes, the first stat is "blending" with the font color and the stat. Example: When it should say something like "you gain 60 Stamina" it says "jfdda35760 Stamina". It then computes this erroneous number and says I will gain 722 Million HP. =P. I've only noticed this with cooking recipes however.

    Thanks again for an awesome replacement for StatStain. Cheers!

    Just to add...it appears that Stamina, Spirit, and Agility are the only stats where this error occurs.
