CowTip

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

CowTip is a customizeable, tag-based tooltip addon. It is based on Rock and other libraries of the community. It is currently in beta.

CowTip isn't meant to be the smallest addon humanly possible, but it will be clean, configurable, and have the same polish I afford my other addons.

Cowtip won't show titles, and I can't get them to show by changing any settings.

Go to "Line texts" or w/e, "Edit Lines", and change "NameRealm" to "NameRealm:PvPRank". Works fantastic.

Dead things are showing white on white, hard to read and too bright.
I'm able to adjust the colors for other things in the settings, I can change colors and transparency for anything but dead things.

"CowTip is a customizeable..." How does one access this? /cowtip only brings up a Donation and enable/disable buttons,

Any chance to add to this the ability to change/alter default cursor? Like make it a cow.

Really I've looked all around and cant find anything current. tanking adds in Emalon VoA is tough enough but when I loose sight of my cursor I loose the freshly spawned adds.

Try an addon called _Cursor -- it lets you tweak your cursor to almost no end. Trails, particle effects, glows, etc...It's great for style and function (if you lose track of your cursor a lot).

I have been using this addon as well for a long time. Does anyone know of an alternative? I am going to look around and see myself as well.

I´m using startip due to the memory issue. Startip is a more simple version of cowtip but same from the looks. I´ll switch back to cowtip once the issue is gone because cowtip offers so much more customization.

My UI/game crashed twice today, due to the memory allocation error. I edited the code a few days ago, as an earlier poster suggested, but apparently it does not fix the problem. The last time it crashed the whole game. I'm going to uninstall this addon and that makes me sad, as I've been using it for over a year now.
Apparently there is an ongoing discussion about this memory error on the game forums being a WoW issue, so it doesn't look like this problem will be fixed anytime soon. =/

Do people still have the problem with the Memory Allocation error when using cowtip in heavy combat or fights with many in/outgoing actions?

Anyone else noticing that Cowtip is starting to amass more memory overtime till it errors your UI out? This happened before, and if I remember it was a problem with LibDogTag.

Is this a current problem or do i need to update LibDogTag seperately?
Any ideas?
Thanks

I am now having this problem, and i'm too much a noob to know how to fix it.

I really enjoy when the mouse over of mobs shows me I need to kill them! Please help repair this (And thanks so much for the great addon!)
