Making tooltips wider or reduce font size

afxmac · 04/30/23, 04:56 AM

Hi,

when playing on a low res HD screen, item tooltips easily get too tall to fit when a few addons also add info to the tooltip.

I found this old post that explains how to make them wider: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.co...n-item-tooltip

But it does not seem to affect the tooltips at all.

So I guess I am doing something wrong. Any ideas?
thx

The code itself is working. I still do it that way.
What did you do?

afxmac · 04/30/23, 05:17 AM

I have put it in my own addon (and it loads without errors).
The settings in the init block is probably redundant, right?

Code:

afxSettings = {}
afxSettings.name = "afxSettings"

--  x.y ,xmax,ymax 
function afxSettings.Initialize()
	ItemTooltip:SetDimensionConstraints(600, 0, 600, 1080)
	ItemTooltip:SetScale(0.875)
	PopupTooltip:SetDimensionConstraints(600, 0, 600, 1080)
	ItemTooltip:SetScale(0.875)

	ComparativeTooltip1:SetDimensionConstraints(600, 0, 600, 8192)
	ComparativeTooltip2:SetDimensionConstraints(600, 0, 600, 8192)
	ComparativeTooltip1:SetScale(0.875)
	ComparativeTooltip2:SetScale(0.875)
end
 
function afxSettings.OnAddOnLoaded(event, addonName)
  if addonName == afxSettings.name then
    afxSettings.Initialize()
    EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForEvent(afxSettings.name, EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED) 
  end
end
 
EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(afxSettings.name, EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED, afxSettings.OnAddOnLoaded)

ItemTooltip:SetDimensionConstraints(600, 0, 600, 1080)
ItemTooltip:SetScale(0.875)
PopupTooltip:SetDimensionConstraints(600, 0, 600, 1080)
ItemTooltip:SetScale(0.875)
ComparativeTooltip1:SetDimensionConstraints(600, 0, 600, 1080)
ComparativeTooltip2:SetDimensionConstraints(600, 0, 600, 1080)
ComparativeTooltip1:SetScale(0.875)
ComparativeTooltip2:SetScale(0.875)

And thanks for your wonderful addons!

Yes, the Initialize is redundant.
Are you sure the code is executed? Add some error to see, if the error popup is showing.

/edit: And Thank You

afxmac · 04/30/23, 05:35 AM

I do see the addon in the loaded addons list.
I see no errros pop up. Any other place I should look?
thx

Verify your manifest.txt.
Is the Lua file written correctly without any trailing space?

afxmac · 04/30/23, 05:50 AM

Hmm, LUA is sensitive to trailing spaces? Ok, I nuked all of them. No change.
The text file is very simple:

Code:

## Title: afxSettings
## Description: Fix tooltip width
## Author: afx
## Version: 1.0
## APIVersion: 101037

afxSettings.lua

votan · 04/30/23, 06:02 AM

What is the output of

Code:

/script d(afxSettings ~= nil)

Should be true, but I except it to be false.

afxmac · 04/30/23, 06:03 AM

I get true.

votan · 04/30/23, 06:15 AM

Maybe you are running LibDebugLogger?

afxmac · 04/30/23, 06:16 AM

I do, was a prereq for something.
Should this give me an extra log somewhere?

votan · 04/30/23, 06:23 AM

Yes. but I would just disable it temporary to see if the error is shown.

afxmac · 04/30/23, 06:27 AM

Disabled Debuglogger, and reloaded the UI, no extra messages.

votan · 04/30/23, 06:34 AM

Well, on one hand, it explains why there is no effect on the tooltips. On the other hand, I can not see why.

afxmac · 04/30/23, 06:35 AM

So at least I am not the only one who is puzzled....

votan · 04/30/23, 06:45 AM

Try out https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info...tion.html#info

Maybe you will see, why the Lua file is not loaded.

afxmac · 04/30/23, 07:04 AM

I wish I understood what this tells me:

Code:

PS C:\bin> .\ESOGlobals.ps1 -Path 'C:\Users\afx\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns\afxSettings'  -ParseXml      

Parse manifest C:\Users\afx\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns\afxSettings\afxSettings.txt

afxSettings.lua
+        1 afxSettings
?        2 afxSettings
?        7 afxSettings
?        8 ItemTooltip
?        9 ItemTooltip
?       10 PopupTooltip
?       11 ItemTooltip
?       13 ComparativeTooltip1
?       14 ComparativeTooltip2
?       15 ComparativeTooltip1
?       16 ComparativeTooltip2
?       20 afxSettings
?       22 afxSettings
?       23 afxSettings
?       25 afxSettings
?       25 EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED
?       25 EVENT_MANAGER
?       30 afxSettings
?       30 afxSettings
?       30 EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED
?       30 EVENT_MANAGER
?       32 ItemTooltip
?       33 ItemTooltip
?       34 PopupTooltip
?       35 ItemTooltip
?       36 ComparativeTooltip1
?       37 ComparativeTooltip2
?       38 ComparativeTooltip1
?       39 ComparativeTooltip2

The docs seem to indicate I am setting the appropriate global variables.

votan · 04/30/23, 10:27 AM

Correct. And the tooltips still have no effect??
What if you select the addon stand-alone?

afxmac · 04/30/23, 04:34 PM

Without any options?
This is what I get then:

Code:

afxSettings.lua
+        1 afxSettings
?        2 afxSettings
?        7 afxSettings
?        8 ItemTooltip
?        9 ItemTooltip
?       10 PopupTooltip
?       11 ItemTooltip
?       13 ComparativeTooltip1
?       14 ComparativeTooltip2
?       15 ComparativeTooltip1
?       16 ComparativeTooltip2
?       20 afxSettings
?       22 afxSettings
?       23 afxSettings
?       25 afxSettings
?       25 EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED
?       25 EVENT_MANAGER
?       30 afxSettings
?       30 afxSettings
?       30 EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED
?       30 EVENT_MANAGER
?       32 ItemTooltip
?       33 ItemTooltip
?       34 PopupTooltip
?       35 ItemTooltip
?       36 ComparativeTooltip1
?       37 ComparativeTooltip2
?       38 ComparativeTooltip1
?       39 ComparativeTooltip2

I think votan meant disable ALL other addons and libraries! Only load that one addon and library(s) needed.
