Nokkan's WhatChuWant

Nokkan's WhatChuWant

Gives every tooltip in the game a sleek new look, and adds a clean line to unit tooltips that tells you who in your group is targeting that player or NPC, plus their item level and mount.

Mount: Swift Spectral Tiger (owned)

Features

A new look for every tooltip

• Every tooltip the game shows (units, items, spells, action bars, bags, comparisons, links in chat) gets a dark, flat look with a thin edge and a stripe along the top
• Edged in the colour of what it shows: class colour for players, red / yellow / green for hostile, neutral and friendly NPCs, the quality colour for items
• Colourful text: names in class colours, guilds in guild green (your own brighter), the level in its difficulty colour, the class word in its colour
• Damage in its school's colour: the number, the school and the word "damage" (Fire orange, Frost blue, Shadow purple, Nature green, Arcane pink, Holy yellow, Physical red); healing and its numbers green, Magic / Curse / Poison / Disease in their dispel colours, shields blue, costs in their resource's colour (Mana, Rage, Energy, Focus), every other number gold
• The item's, spell's or class's icon in its top-right corner (an NPC's portrait), and a small badge on its top edge: Boss, Elite, Rare, the item's quality, or Group / Guild / Friend
• Stat differences when comparing items: each stat of the hovered item shows how it compares to what you wear, e.g. (+2) in green, (-22) in red
• Pops in smoothly, and its colours ease as you move from one thing to the next
• Each part can be turned off; money, icons and other addons' lines keep working as usual
• Already using a tooltip addon? With TipTac, TinyTooltip, ElvUI and the like, the look starts off so the two never clash (turn it on on the Tooltip page if you prefer ours)

Who's targeting it

• Hover any player or NPC to see which party or raid members have it targeted
• Names in class colors, without server names
• Shows up to 3 names (configurable), then "and N more". Hold Shift to list everyone
• Updates live while you hover, as people change targets

Item level

• The game's official item level, the same value the default Inspect window uses
• Colored against your own:
  • Legendary orange when you're about even
  • Redder the more they out-gear you
  • Whiter, then gray the more you out-gear them

Mounts

• See which mount a player is riding, and whether you own it
• Press Shift + Middle-click (or your own keybind) while hovering a mounted player to summon the same mount, without targeting them
• Works with item mounts like the Magic Broom, even while moving

Quick invite

• Press Ctrl + Middle-click (or your own keybind) while hovering a player to invite them to your group, without targeting them
• Only while you can actually invite them: friendly, not already in your group, and you're the leader or an assistant if you're in one

When someone targets you (out of combat, each one optional)

• Hear the NPC target sound
• See their name flash on screen in their class color; several people are combined in one line (drag it anywhere with Set Position)
• See a pulsing glow on their party or raid frame while they target you
• See a pulsing underline under their name on their nameplate (open world only: Blizzard blocks this in dungeons and raids)

Raid & dungeon friendly

• Throttled inspect queue: never spams the server or takes over your Inspect window
• Stays quiet in combat
• Built for Midnight's new combat restrictions
• Works on both Retail and WoW: Forever

Settings

Open with /nwcw, the minimap button, the addon compartment, or Options → AddOns.

The settings window has a page for each part of the addon (Tooltip, Mount copy, Invite, When targeted, General). Turn the new tooltip look, its coloured text, its icon and badge or the stat differences on or off, toggle any feature, choose how many names to show, set your own mount-copy and invite keybinds (you're warned if one clashes with one of your WoW keybinds), show or hide the minimap button, and set the animation speed or turn animations off. The window remembers where you put it.

Commands

• /nwcw: open settings
• /nwcw test: try the target alert (sound and name flash)
• /nwcw debug: toggle debug messages
• /nwcw perf: show which addons cause frame spikes (stutter), from the game's addon profiler

Lightweight, works out of the box.
