Some fo you guys should have your access removed from these forums, flaming a guy who is giving us his free time and code to make our playing more enjoyable is beyond bullshit to me.
If you have nothing to say that matters to the development of this mod then __ _____ ______ (fill in the blanks). This isnt McDonalds you cant have it your way... and flameing a mod author imo is the fastest way to ensure he doesnt share his changes with us.
This is a SVN go lookup what SVN is. this is not a download site to stable releases, thats what wowinterface and curse is for.
Comments from tools like some of the aboved will in the long run cause the ace team to remove all our access to the svn.
So get over yourselves, if you have a problem with the code address your bugs here. We care not if your mod is suddenly broken because you decided to download from a SVN. And you have no right to complain...NONE
Thrae forget these tools who do nothing but complain but do nothing to add to the mods they only use them. They supply no code nothing, so ignore these asshats.
I for one am thankful for all the wowace authours for sharing their time and code and SVN with the community.
Thrae keep up the great work and I for one await your finished release of this great mod that I have used in my compilations for a very long time.
To edit options without TinyTip or TinyTipOptions, do the following:
1. Check out the module as a separate addon (IE, "TinyTipPositioning").
2. Edit StandAloneConfig.lua in the addon folder. The instructions are included in
the file. Editing a lua file may seem difficult, but with the instructions it's
really not that hard. Make sure you include a comma after every entry, that's all.
...I probably should include that in a README.TXT file.
1. My work on revamping the options menu is 50% complete. There's a lot of old, nasty code to go through.
2. TinyTip will now work properly even if you don't have its modules as externals (IE, you have it all by itself). Did you know GetAddonInfo(name) will return name even if the addon doesn't exist? Bizarre.

That's why I'm working on just revamping the Dewdrop options and letting people use that for the time being. Most of the time is spent restructuring the various localizations anyway and working with a new database paradigm (Dongle).

Indeed! Tinytip is one of the few addons I find pretty essential as I want my tooltips to show just this and that and show it all anchored in a spot where I'm likely to look at. Very good job, hope the hate from people who have no clue won't discourage you from maintaining this high quality addon Thrae! Thank you so much for it.
I actually registered just to post this. I think that it is complete BS for an author to remove a 'working' version and add a half assed version that he/she is working on. I tend to update once every couple days through WAU, and have searched far and wide for people having problems like I was having. Yes I reverted and all but givin the amount of time I spent on trying to figure out why when I UPDATED, shit broke. Yea your not getting paid and all that blah blah, but cmon people, common sense. Why fix what isn't broke?? Yea it may be broke on the PTR or whatever, but we're not playing on the PTR. Authors like this really annoy me. Do the job right or don't do it at all, and don't do it half-assed.
Don't get me wrong m8, your mod is top notch, but maybe that's why people come here a bit upset, this mod has been one of the few mods that have worked near flawless through a crapload of patches and whatnot. Some of us old timers like to keep it that way.
Sorry to be bitchy but I wasn't getting paid either for looking for the reason why a mod that I updated broke on me, and has remained that way at the place where you UPDATE your mods. Put the original WORKING version back on WAU. Seems the only logical solution to me, why should people have to search and search just to find an old release?
Simply pathetic.
Go delete your account then. Don't get you wrong? Do you know where WAU is pulling updated from? SVN, do you know what SVN is and for what purpose it is for? If you don't know, then stop using WAU.
Heck, there is an ignore option, and WAU keeps a backup, and regardless, just search back a page or two and you'll find a link to the "OLD" version. What's so hard with that? If you don't know how to use WAU, then delete it too! You don't need WAU if you dont know what it is for, where it is pulling updates from, and if you don't know how to use it or don't know its features.
You not getting paid for looking for mods why this and that is not even worthy to be considered. Look dude, "Addons" are a feature of WoW allowed freely by Blizzard. Any authors writing addons are doing it for free, and majority if not all, are doing it for personal or guild or friends uses. Be very thankful that they are sharing it to the public.
If you got a problem with how they work, then for crying-out-loud!! CREATE YOUR OWN! If you don't know how to program with LUA, then SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!
All you do is play play and play. These guys are spending more than half of their WoW time with coding addons, not play.
So, common sense to you.
Problems people, problems. Find solutions to your problems not whine here all day, every day.
You can compare WoWAce to sourceforge, it simply provides a hosting for developers. It is up to the developers how they want to use it. If the author decides to delete the old version and put up an alpha version, live with it. Find a solution to your problem not whine here... sheesh... get real.
This is a SVN go lookup what SVN is. this is not a download site to stable releases, thats what wowinterface and curse is for.
The larger issue, I think, is that for all intents and purposes, WAU and the SVN it links into, is for more or less stable releases. Why? Your own applied logic. Most, if not all, of the mods that appear on WoWAce, never see the light of that "stable release" listing at places like WoWInterface and Curse. Never. Most decent mods can only be found here, regardless of their level of usability.
While I don't agree with how some people have handled themselves (the "flamers"), I can fully understand and sympathize with their positions... Regardless of the CYA wording of the "fine print" on WAU, it's generally used not as a source of beta mods that may work but have minor to major flaws, but as a one-stop source for more or less stable versions of mods or mods clearly marked as "mostly broken -- don't use" (and there are quite a few of them clearly marked as such).
Frankly, until CowTip came around, TinyTip was the only game in town for a tooltip customizing mod that was more or less fully functional...the only one... This "go to WoWInterface or Curse if you want a full release" malarky actually only rarely can be applied when you consider the mods available through WoWAce.
To Thrae specifically:
While I do appreciate all the hard work that's gone into TinyTip (at the time, it was the only tooltip mod that was an acceptable replacement for TipBuddy), I'm going to check out CowTip. Thank you for the basic info on it. Keep up the great work and hope to return to using TinyTip in the future.
TinyTipOptions has been placed on the SVN. It should be available on WAU shortly. All TinyTip v0.2 addons were updated to reflect this change.
This is a temporary copy of TinyTipOptions, using the old Dewdrop method you may be familiar with. Come 2.4, TinyTipOptions will be recoded once again to use Blizzard's new interface.
TinyTipFu is not my addon and may not work. It will also become obsolete with 2.4, so I'm not recoding it.
Also added functionality in the main TinyTip addon:
- Scale
- HideInFrames
- HideInCombat
Yeah, it wasn't originally suppose to take me over 2 weeks just to recode TinyTipOptions, but my RL job is getting more and more intense, leaving me with less and less downtime. I didn't exactly have time most days to even think of addons and WoW. Eh, hindsight is always 100%.
I can't get the options menu to show - /ttip and /tinytip get ignored ("Type '/help' for a listing of a few commands"). Anyone else with this problem? Thanks :)

Heh, I noticed problems with it, reinstalled from a safe version and ticked 'ignore' in WAU till the release here is stable.
Simple, easy, and without going batshit crazy on a forum.
1. Check out the module as a separate addon (IE, "TinyTipPositioning").
2. Edit StandAloneConfig.lua in the addon folder. The instructions are included in
the file. Editing a lua file may seem difficult, but with the instructions it's
really not that hard. Make sure you include a comma after every entry, that's all.

If only everyone could read they woulda just done that :P
Thanks for a great addon Thrae!

I like this addon :) good job
