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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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.
Having the same problem here. I started using CowTip with latest patch because Tinytip stopped working for me.
Now in raids I'll randomly start getting error spam in my chat window, massive FPS drop for a few seconds, elk buff bars stop updating and lose durations. And my macro's will stop working, which is no fun while tanking a raid boss.
Anyone know how to fix this. I'm not dropping Elk Buff Bars, been using it forever. Is there a similar mod to CowTip that wont do this?
ive noticed an intressting issue, that nowdays when i logg in, its deactivated, and i have to open up config, disable and enable it and press ok, then it works again.
I don't know if the lines I'm using are making any difference in this but there seems to be a problem with CowTip and Target of Target, specifically on Pitbull. If you were to target yourself, all the information would show (In my case, that'd be name target level race class guildrank guild and zone) but if you target other people targetting NPC or other player units, it'll only show their name and target. I can provide pictures if this isn't easy to solve and replicatable.
Edit: It seems to happen more with your faction's target who is the opposite faction, it still happens with same faction ToT though.
If i want to add showing of guild in the tooltip, how do i make that input to hide if the player/mob doesn't have a guild? Because the default show's Guild: and an empty area, but i would like that to hide, and not show at all if the player/mob isn't in a guild. How do i do that?
Same here. It's too bad cause I like this one the most. I've pushed Rant Tooltip through heavy usage numerous times now and haven't seen one crash as a result.
I switched away from this addon due to the "block too big" memory error. Switched to a different tooltip addon and no more problem. I much prefer cowtip though, so has this new version fixed the problem for anyone who was experiencing it before? I'm afraid to try it out myself, it only really happens frequently when in raids and such, always at the most inconvenient time. Since I'm MTing now I can't really afford to have 3/4 of my interface die in a fire when tanking a boss due to a tooltip addon
I have the lateast version and same problem. Happens every time I raid - I was relogging every few boss fights/attempts each time turning off a mod until removing CowTip seemed to fix it. It didn't happen previously with the same version though - only after I lost all my mods and WTF folder (had to reinstall, didn't have recent backups). I think it may possibly be an interaction with some version of another mod - maybe something using one of the libraries that CowTip also uses?
Update: it seems there are several addons that get the 'double' effect for some reason this only happens with cowtip, hope you can fix it, questhelper, flagrsp2 now.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate this mod very much, but I don't understand the logic in making 1.2 a Release when there's so many bugs still unaddressed. [Status] isn't even working.

[(if Guild and Guild = 'player':Guild then Fuchsia end) Guild:Angle]
It's really too bad that no other addons hold a candle to cowtip or EBB...and EBB is more important to me now.
SOTA/WG wall hp is also still not visible in 1.2
update to update: my mistake after testing several other tooltip addons it seems it is a problem with those two addons and not cowtip :)
