StarTip-Rift  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: v1.4.3

StarTip-Rift -- Tooltips from the Outer Rift.

StarTip-Rift is is a tooltip addon. It only tries to reproduce the unit tooltip. You can customize by installing a new addon you write. Examples exist within the StarTip directory: StarTipDefault and StarTipNatural. You can copy/paste the entire folder to your Addons folder to get started. You'll have to give it a name though -- let's say HopeBound.

To load it, type: /startip profile HopeBound


Type /startip for options, including configurations, proiles, CPU information, ...

Note that StarTip comes with two profiles: Default and Natural.

If you are unhappy with Default, then type: /startip profile Natural


If you wish to create your own profile using this profile as a template, then it's really easy. Check the file StarTipNatural.lua and adjust what you need to customize as you wish. Look under StarTip-Rift's Libs directory and note the LibScriptable-1.0 directory. Look under this directory, and you'll see LibScriptablePlugins-1.0. From there view all the various functions in the sub directories. This is your execution environment organized. The LibScriptablePluginUnit-1.0.lua file is where you might want to start.

Each run environment for each Lua script executed has a couple of special members and variables. Such as _G if you wish to reach the overall script environment. And you have 'self'. And 'unit'. Then everything included from the plugin directory.

Note that each instance of StarTip starts off with a _G, and that is the main script environment. However, we use a special table for each Lua script's environment, and _G doesn't point to that table, but rather to Rift's UI interface script environment, where Inspect.Unit.Detail exists.. So you could call '_G.StarTip:IterateModules()' or '_G.UI.CreateFrame()'. I've tried to add everything from Rift's _G into the user's Lua script's global environment, but I may have missed some things. This is what '_G' is for at this point.

I'm always in #riftuidev on freenode.net, or use this addon's comments to ask questions.

OK, I figured out there are two problems with the issue I posted and regardless of whether "Defailt" was meant to be Default or Detail the whole thing is deprecated as of patch 1.10 (maybe even 1.9) which leads me to ask if this is being updated still?

The 1.10 Live Addon Changelog shows the following:
Quote:
Event.Unit.Detail.TitlePrefix
Event.Unit.Detail.TitleSuffix
- For 1.9, use Event.Unit.Detail.TitlePrefixName/TitleSuffixName instead. For 1.10, use Event.Unit.Detail.TitlePrefixId/TitleSuffixId, then use Inspect.Title.Detail() to look up the localized name.
So, now anytime I change which title I display I get the following:
Code:
Error: Event Event.Unit.Detail.TitleSuffix is deprecated, the addon environment is not in compatibility mode, and LibScriptablePluginUnit_1_0 has an active hook (named Detail.TitleSuffix).
    In LibScriptablePluginUnit_1_0 / Detail.TitleSuffix, event Event.Unit.Detail.TitleSuffix
stack traceback:
	[C]: in function 'error'
My concern is this changed in 1.9 (if I'm reading the changelog right) and again in 1.10 and we're in 1.11 with 9 days to go until 2.0...which is why again I ask if this addon is being worked on still?

got the following during some warfronts today:

Code:
Error: Event Event.Unit.Detail.TitleSuffix is deprecated, the addon environment is not in compatibility mode, and LibScriptablePluginUnit_1_0 has an active hook (named Defailt.TitleSuffix).
    In LibScriptablePluginUnit_1_0 / Defailt.TitleSuffix, event Event.Unit.Detail.TitleSuffix
stack traceback:
	[C]: in function 'error'
I got a similar one also mentioning that "Defailt.TitleSuffix" (which I'm guessing is the culprit as I assume it was meant to be default) but it failed the whole copy to clipboard. Though it was probably due to how long I waited to use "Paste" lol.

Hm, may just be duncing out, but where in the code can I tell it to position the tooltip to the bottom right of the cursor instead of centered on it?

I need to get this to where I can set it to anchor to the bottom right corner of the tooltip window. How do I do that?

Hey, would you be able to implement target player's prestige rank and have it display as a row in the tooltip? That would be really awesome and helpful.
I assume it can be done through achievements, and I would suspect that cacheing other user's prestige ranks on a per-character-name basis would help lower achievement function calls and thus resource usage.

Here is a thread on the RIFT forums that involves this...
http://forums.riftgame.com/beta-addon-api-development/259178-favor-prestige-bar-possible.html

Thanks, and happy holidays!!

I ran into something that may be what you're talking about; however it happens when StarTip is not loaded. Sometimes when I hover over that public group icon, the small public group tooltip will vanish and the real player tooltip will appear.

Two issues:

1) When I hover over a raid member on the left edge of my UI, half of the startip is cut off and lost in the edge of the screen.

2) When I hover over a target frame's public party icon - i.e. the button you can press to join someone's public party, the StarTip hides the hovering tooltip that normally shows you how many people are in the target's public party.

Overall, fantastic addon that keeps getting better. GJ.
1) Should be fixed in v1.2.9. I think.

2) I'm not able to reproduce this, unless I fixed it somehow without knowing it was broke. Rift frames should be above addon frames I think.

This is what it looks like for me. Am I looking at the right thing?

1.2.9 did fix the first issue.
I am not able to reproduce the second issue I had, either. It was late and I was tired, so what may have happened is he got rid of his public group while I started to mouseover him, and I just never noticed, and thought it was a bug that the tooltip was hiding.
