Colored tooltips wrong

[Hancoque]

I've noticed that colored tooltips are displayed wrong. I haven't tested everything but I can at least say that hostile mobs are displayed with a blue background instead of a red one. There may be other color disturbances.

I put this in the Support forum, but I'll clarify here. As previously stated by the OP, ALL NPC/Player tooltips are blue, regardless of faction or PvP Status. Turn it off, and you get a black-background-tooltip but with the correct coloured writing.
Hopefully this will be fixed soon, it's especially important in PvP and makes it faster for me to identify friendlies/hostiles than the old 'coloured text' method.

Yes, I have noticed this too and can confirm this bug.

The standard grey background and coloured text works fine, but when you turn the coloured text option on, ALL boxes display blue backgrounds with white text regardless of the faction/hostile nature of the targeted object.

Here's hoping it is a relatively simple fix.

Me three.
Confirmed. This is probably one of the biggest downers of the new version. :)

I know everyone hates change. Especially when it comes with a complete reset of cosmos settings and bugs. But This dev team has always come through...

Guild tooltips seem to be ok, but all other ones are just blue.

Yeah, I've since noticed that. At least I can identify my guild :)

For me the tooltips are only blue for 1 log-in. If I logout, and login another toon, they revert back to black. /reloadui doesn't help, they stay black after that.

[jgleigh]

I'm also nowing seeing all black. Even guild members are black.

Also noticed that the guild name isn't showing in the tooltip anymore.

This is a fix for the faulty Tooltip backdrop color in Cosmos2:

Goto you (WoW)\Interface\AddOns\TooltipsKhaos directory
Open TooltipKhaos.lua with any plain text editor (preferably something simple like notepad).
Scroll to line 305, there should be code like

...
-- fix for clear money
TooltipsFunctions_Original_GameTooltip_ClearMoney = GameTooltip_ClearMoney;
GameTooltip_ClearMoney = TooltipsFunctions.GameTooltip_ClearMoney;

-- RegisterConfigurations
Chronos.afterInit(TooltipsFunctions.registerConfig urations);
...

insert 2 lines in the middle, so that it looks like

...
-- fix for clear money
TooltipsFunctions_Original_GameTooltip_ClearMoney = GameTooltip_ClearMoney;
GameTooltip_ClearMoney = TooltipsFunctions.GameTooltip_ClearMoney;

-- Store original UnitColor function *NEW*
TooltipsFunctions_Original_GameTooltip_UnitColor = GameTooltip_UnitColor; -- *NEW*

-- RegisterConfigurations
Chronos.afterInit(TooltipsFunctions.registerConfig urations);
...

then scroll to line 331 (or 333/334 if you have already added the three lines from above) and replace

...
local r, g, b = GameTooltip_UnitColor(type);
...

with

...
local r, g, b = TooltipsFunctions_Original_GameTooltip_UnitColor(t ype);
...

This should get your colored tooltips working again, but there's a small catch. Seems like there is another bug with the new tooltips, insofar as the option doesn't get properly saved on logout/login. So you'll have to turn the option off & on again to get it working on login.



Developer Rant:
*removed* - there was a good reason for all that was done ;)

Edit:
Now tooltips again look like with the old tooltips mod.

I'm confused. Do the devs think this is 'working as intended'?

I tend to agree here... I hope the blue box for all "targets", is not how the devs want this feature to work. Because if it is, it would make coloured tool tips pretty much worthless!

Let me put this in terms the devs can understand:

if ( Blue_Box_For_Everything == Working_As_Intended )
{
Coloured_Tool_Tips = Worthless;
Remove_Tool_Tips_From_Cosmos();
}
else
{
Fix_Coloured_Tool_Tips();
}

:wink:

Last night I checked out the coloured tool tip option again, as I saw a bunch of changed appear though the updater, which suggested that some code had changed in relation to tool tips.

Well, tool tips are still not working :cry:, only showing the blue background with white text regardless of the faction stance of the target, however in the chat box I saw the following text:

HOOKED StatusSet

Not sure what that means, could be a clue to something not working right?

Anyway, I hold out hope that the dev team can nail down this problem and make Cosmos the UI mod to have.

[jgleigh]

Still broken... :x

I also can't get the above fix to work. Always get an error about calling a global with a nil value.

[Hancoque]

I've looked into the old tooltips addon and realized that DoctorVanGogh's fix is actually in there. It was just disregarded when porting the old addon to the new one.

In the old TooltipsColorTarget.lua there is a variable called SavedGameTooltip_UnitColor which is set to GameTooltip_UnitColor outside of the handler which is then used instead inside the handler to get the background color. So this really seems to be *the* fix. I wonder why the Cosmos devs haven't implemented it yet.

[jgleigh]

That is a really good question. The settings for all the tooltips also aren't being loaded correctly. You have to manually turn them off/on or do a reloadUI to get them to function.

Love the new interface, but just want everything included to work like it did (or work at all) before the major update.

[Ripperjack]

I wonder why the Cosmos devs haven't implemented it yet.

Yes, I'm pretty much wondering about this myself. At it stands now I do like the new Cosmos 2 system, just for the bugs in the Coloured Tool Tips and totem Stomper.

If they could get these two issues resolved, I would be very happy. I have even tried to find Telo's email to tell him his Totem Stomper is not working, but alas I have not been successful. :cry:

Party colors also don't seem to work anymore. Guild ones are still ok. :(
