| 01:48.36 | ShaunO` | Hi there, quick question, been digging around the API for the firs time and was wondering 1) Is it possible to read items from the auction house UI? And 2) Is it possible to know when a Rift tooltip is created and which event triggered it? (Ie. mouseover on an item) |
| 01:54.40 | ShaunO` | I have a feeling that probably gets asked a lot, I don't see any obvious functions/events to use that I haven't tested already but curious if there's some non-obvious way that's possible or if it's just plain impossible |
| 02:04.26 | ShaunO` | First time lua user.. switch..case wth? :/ |
| 02:21.17 | ShaunO` | Is it possible to look up details about items globally by name or id without being exposed to it? |
| 02:27.21 | ShaunO` | How about an XML feed of real time auction house data some kind of database connector ;p |
| 02:50.00 | starlon | Auctions, no. Tooltip information,no. |
| 02:50.37 | starlon | I'm not sure what you mean by "exposed to it." |
| 02:51.05 | starlon | You can look up what items are in your inventory, you can get details on items. |
| 02:52.34 | starlon | Then again I'm not the most knowledgeable. |
| 02:54.23 | ShaunO` | Look up details about any item that the player can't see, like if you knew the name of an item but not on the player and wanted to view the stats of it |
| 02:54.53 | ShaunO` | Or would a local database have to be used |

| 03:52.39 | lXl-M | Hiii |
| 03:52.55 | ZorbaTHut | tooltip is "yes", actually - look up Event.Tooltip |
| 03:54.05 | ZorbaTHut | you can retrieve info on an item if you have its type, although the interface isn't clean yet and it's not technically documented. use Inspect.Item.Detail(), it will give an error, use it again after a server round-trip, no there's no way to know how long the server round-trip is. That'll be improved. |
| 03:54.17 | ZorbaTHut | No way to look it up given a name only. |
| 03:54.34 | ZorbaTHut | Also, looking up items in bulk is slow, so if you need a lot of stats, you want a local database. |
| 04:03.15 | ShaunO` | Thanks ZorbaTHut, I'll have a play with Event.Tooltip. same goes for Inspect.Item.detail() - are the ID's returned by Inspect.Item.Detail() re-usable in a new session? |
| 04:03.42 | ZorbaTHut | shaun, the types absolutely are, the item IDs should be |
| 04:04.07 | ShaunO` | Thanks |
| 04:05.01 | ZorbaTHut | item IDs may do weird things in a few cases - I'm pretty sure transferring characters will completely scramble them, for example :) |
| 04:05.24 | ShaunO` | Ah I see, I'll keep that in mind |
| 04:10.04 | ShaunO` | Oh I'd misunderstood what 'type(specifier)' is, is this a unique for an item? I assumed it was something less specific |
| 04:14.52 | ShaunO` | Cool, it works :) |

| 04:16.24 | ShaunO` | Yeah, forget the item ID thing, I was just confused, I figured that 'type' was some kind of category and had to be accompanied by an ID of some sort |
| 04:18.13 | ShaunO` | Event.Tooltip doesn't seem to be defined |
| 04:25.49 | ShaunO` | The process I'm trying to achieve is.. detect when a tooltip for equippable items are displayed, find which item it is, parse the stats, and create a tooltip next to it or modify the existing tooltip to display calculations within it. But I also want to add in any other data there may be on the item such as auctio house trends etc |
| 04:26.40 | ShaunO` | Just perusing all the API functionality to see how this can be best achieved and what other possibilities there are |

| 05:02.35 | starlon | ZorbaTHut: The tooltip info I mean. |
| 05:03.43 | starlon | Actually I've probably missed a lot. lol |
| 05:05.42 | starlon | Is that not documented? |
| 05:05.55 | starlon | I need to generate it I guess? |
| 05:06.04 | starlon | I can't recall how. |
| 05:08.52 | ShaunO` | Yeah I can't find it |
| 05:08.59 | starlon | nods. |
| 05:09.02 | starlon | Just read that. |

| 09:14.12 | starlon | I can not get this image to "colorize" |
| 11:25.48 | ZorbaTHut | the docs are on the forums, under "addon documentation" :) |
| 11:27.22 | starlon | I checked there. |
| 11:27.39 | starlon | I looked at them both. pts and live |
| 11:27.48 | starlon | Event.Tooltip? |
| 11:29.56 | ZorbaTHut | oh bah, I only put in command.tooltip so far, it's event.cursor that exists |
| 11:30.07 | ZorbaTHut | yeah, the tooltip is probably getting the same setup cursor has, that just isn't in yet |
| 11:30.13 | ZorbaTHut | sorry for the false alarm, not in yet :) |

| 15:16.39 | starlon | You can configure the length, size, and background colors, plus added 4 more textures. |

| 15:24.43 | starlon | is easily amused. LOOK PENN... LOOK CURSOR! lol such a destraction. |
| 15:32.21 | starlon | With StarTip you can control its position dynamically using the animation system. If it's a player, then move the tooltip with the cursor, or have it spiral at you. If it's an NPC, then place the tooltip on a corner. The animation system uses coordinates between -1 and 1. You're provided with a small random number as 'v' and 'i' is a position within the animation. 'i' just increments each frame. The system's based on Winamp's AVS plugin's SuperScope |
