Cosmos Addons for 3.x

[Flintstone]

Concerning Tooltips Complete, not only is the set focus menu item affected but also things like make main tank, promote main assist etc.
Is there a way to fix this? It´s getting annyoing to each time have to disable all this or use some command line stuff and I have yet to find a tooltip addon as easy and smooth working like tooltipscomplete

Yeah, I'll have to agree on the Tooltips Complete. In fact, it's a single line that causes the problem. Thing is, remove the one line, and the entire addon stops working completely, so it likely has to be replaced (the line and any dependencies in that function call) with up to date code.

Unfortunately, I'm not a coder.

Which line is it?

[chibidelenn]

Here's the general area (line 616 when searching in OS X's (terrible) TextEdit app:

editBox:GetText()); end, OnShow = function() getglobal(this:GetName().."EditBox"):SetFocus(); end, OnHide = function() getglobal(this:GetName().."EditBox"):SetText(""); end, EditBoxOnEnterPressed = function() local editBox = getglobal(this:GetParent():GetName().."EditBox"); TooltipsFunctions.UpdatePlayerLabel(this:GetParent().data, editBox:GetText()); this:GetParent():Hide(); end, EditBoxOnEscapePressed = function() this:GetParent():Hide(); end, timeout = 0, exclusive = 1, whileDead = 1, hideOnEscape = 1 };

The problem is in the SetFocus() line. Enable only TTK and try to use the in-game focus dropdown. You get a message stating "Addon has performed an action blocked by the Blizzard UI" (or something - can't remember exactly as I'm tired right now). Delete that one line and the focus menu works. Unfortunately that one line missing also completely kills TTK.

Blizzard acknowledged the SetFocus() taint issue with addons a long time ago, but never bothered to put in a fix for it. Ever. This problem is not unique to TTK, so don't think TTK is solely responsible and no other addon is afflicted with this problem. Many are.

ok, this whole interface action stuff is starting to annoy me....
As it seems that this can not be fixed, does anyone know any working addon with the same functionality as TTC? something simple....

Cheers!

TipTacOptions is the closest, but it's far from simple to set up. You literally have to edit ALL colors to match the TTK setup, and they don't even perfectly match unless you can transliterate the hex code used to denote TTK's colors.

That said, despite the focus menu problem, I refuse to get rid of TTK. Wish it was updated to use the in-game interface addon submenu and not khaos, but meh...it works. Until it stops, I'm happy.

What exactly does Tooltip Complete do?

[Kharthus]

There are many other addons that cause that same issue, it's not just TTK.

It allows you to color tooltips for party/guild/faction/etc.

More importantly (to me, anyway) is that it allows you to add a note to any player or NPC in the game, and that note will show up in the mouseover tooltip whenever you mouse over that toon or that toon's unit frame.

I have notes that go back more than 4 years, and I rely on them to supplement my memory so that when Bob the Warlock joins my group I can mouseover his toon and see that he's a "Nice guy, ran Deadmines with him Dec 2004" or, "Douchebag - do not invite. Caused problems in Naxx Mar 2009." So even if some other mod could duplicate the functions of TooltipsComplete, unless it could also import my years of notes... I'll still be using TTC. I don't need the dropdown menus since all those functions can be duplicated with script commands in macros if need be to work around the taint. But if someone could fix the taint issues, all the better. It's beyond my meager skills, however.
