Any idea when this will be included in the builds?

@Redbot looks like the MR all went through

 

[Redbot]

Yeah, not sure why it's not included. I'll work on it later this evening.

It will be included in our next release, so next patch day at latest, likely much earlier.

Seeking help please. Want to write up ToolTip in the wiki, but first I'd like to get it working. I've the latest RG Launcher build, all working correctly and vanilla (I don't mess with the standard.)

Download and copied the MQUI_ToolTipWnd.xml file into \resources\uifiles\default in my mq folder (I also checked file I was using with kaen, his works as expected.)
Note: the updater/loader does not appear to be including this MQUI_ToolTipWnd.xml in the base.
/plugin MQ2ToolTip
/reloadui
/tooltip on - I see the tooltip window, but have no date when target/hover mouse over a target!) have checkd HUD working

Note: kaen01 also seeing the following:
> /plugin tooltip
UI file MQUI_ToolTipWnd.xml added, you must reload your UI for this to take effect. Plugin 'MQ2ToolTip' loaded.
> /reloadui

I don't see the message "UI file MQUI_ToolTipWnd.xml added, you must reload your UI for this to take effect.", only the part about the plugin loading.

Update: if you unload the plugin, log and relog in, then load plugin, the above message does appear. BUT still getting an empty tootip window....very odd.

Hey where is the UI file for this? Can't find the download button for it. Am I blind? probably

Thanks. For us dumb dumbs, you can copy this into your UI folder that you use (e.g. default, zliz etc)

There is 0 need to.

In fact doing so will break if it ever gets updated.

Just leave it where it puts it. It is happy there

Thanks. Very true. A restart with it in the MQ folder only fixed everything. Thank you SIC!!!!

 

[BlueBug]

As of the latest patch this isn't working for me. The ToolTip windows is up and plugin loaded. But when I target something nothing displays in the window.
Used the slash command /tooltip on to make sure but still nothing.
Anything else I can try?

Thanks-BB

Cleanup in the tooltip aisle

The behavior of this plugin is really wierd and janky. I tried to make
some simple fixes but I'm going to have to come back (if ever) to clean
up some of this.

Some issues noticed immediately:
- The behavior of when the tooltip displays anything and when it updates
feels really off and unintuitive
- Titlebar on a tooltip is wierd
- HP/MANA is always your own, not the thing you're hovering.
- At least I fixed a crash with...
