About TinyTip

Please delete your all your TinyTip folders before upgrading to the latest version

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:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TinyTip (core)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In TinyTip.lua (required)
- Name, backdrop, and border (optional) colouring by reaction (Hostile, Friendly, etc.)
- Class coloured with raid colours.
- Level coloured by difficulty.
- Creature Type (Imp, Cat) given for Pets.
- UnitClassification (Humanoid, Undead, etc.) given for NPCs.
- Elite Status (Elite, Rare, WorldBoss, Rare Elite) added when applicable.
- (Tapped) for Tapped, (Corpse) for Corpse

- Optional Guild Names displayed. (on by default)
- Optional backdrop coloring for friends and guildies. (on by default)
- Optional Honor Rank Name or Number. (on by default)
- Optional "Hostile", "Friendly", etc. reaction text for the colour-blind. (off by default)
- Optional Compact Tooltip mode.
- English, German, French, and Chinese localization, and partial support for other clients.


In Embedded TinyTipAnchor.lua (not required)
- Positioning Options (Anchoring, Offsets)


In TinyTipTargets
- TargetOfTarget information - what is this tooltip's unit targeting?
- Search through Party members targeting this unit, or...
- Search through Raid members targeting this unit.

In TinyTipIcons.lua (TinyTipExtras, not required)
- PvP Rank Icon
- Buffs and Debuffs
- Raid Target Icon

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In LoadOnDemand Addon TinyTipOptions

GUI Options, use /tinytip or /ttip to bring up the menu.
Only loaded if you use that slash command.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

    But at least it's better this time and exactly what i was looking for.

    When i initially installed the mod 2 boxes all over each other and a huge growing box of names of everything i moused over that wouldn't fade.

    You can fix the acehook issue by downloading the newest SCT http://www.curse-gaming.com/en/wow/addons-222-1-scrollingcombattext.html then copying the AceHook-2.0 file from .../sct/libs/ace2 and moving it to your tinytip folder.

    When I change the scaling of the tooltip from 100% to whatever, it will stay at what I changed it to for a bit then change back to 100% for an unknown reason. When I go back to scaling it's still listed as what I changed it to and will change back, only to change back to 100% later on.

    Please fix this it's driving me crazy :(

    I would also like to request that you allow us to scale unit tooltips and non-unit tooltips seperately. Thankyou

  • #88

  • #89

    Looking for some help, it only does this on some of my characters - it shows the loot history of the mob i am killing, i'm not running any other special mods and i can't figure out why tinytip is showing this...see screenshot

    http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/8091/tinytipfc4.jpg

    I only want it to show the name of the mob and the target of target (which it does)

  • #118

    looks like mobinfo to me. maybe had it at one time and forgot.

  • #119

    any chance of this getting updated?

    I mean, it still works ... but i despise out of date addons, and im wondering if i should start looking for a replacement.

  • #120

    Having an issue with NotesUNeed and TinyTip. Hoping someone can help me. When I use the create a note from target feature of NuN I get this:

    Error: attempt to index global 'this' (a nil value)
    File: Interface\AddOns\TinyTip\TinyTip.lua
    Line: 703

    Any thoughts?

    I'm running the latest from wowace.

    Hi everyone. Just wanted to let you know that TinyTip v0.2 is nearing release candidacy. There are many reasons it took so long, one of them being that I had to basically rewrite it from scratch, the other being that TinyTip 1.x was pretty much stable until recently. You can always find my latest development at http://code.google.com/p/thrae-wow/, and also through WAU.

  • #122

    Hey Thrae,

    I wasn't able to find any version of TinyTip at the link you posted. Could you tell me how to get it? Love TinyTip and don't see any others that I like as well.

  • #123

    WoW still lists this latest version as "Out of Date" on the addon screen. While I love this addon, the problems that have arisen with 2.4 make me very leery to install any addon that WoW does not recognize as completely compatible.

  • #124

    Thrae,

    First of all, I want to say that I love your addon! It's a great replacement for TipBuddy (which finally broke as of 2.4) and I definitely recommend it to everyone.

    In patch 2.4, the console commands "/ttip" and "/tinytip" result in the following error:

    ...\AddOns\TinyTip\TinyTip.lua line 98:
    attempt to index global 'TinyTipOptions' (a nil value)

    I can still access the options via the "interface" menu, but I thought I should mention this. Also, the drop-down boxes in the interface options don't change (in appearance) from "TinyTip's Default" when switched to another setting (although the settings themselves actually do change).

    Also, I am wondering if there is any way to disable the "lingering" effect on the tooltip to make it automatically disappear after removing the cursor from an in-game object (players, NPCs, objects, etc)?

    Thanks!

    -- Hyosine
