What's new

1.7.0

New

  • Missing stats when comparing: stats your item has and the hovered one doesn't are listed, struck through in red (-1 Agility).
  • Invite remembers the player: the invite key still works for 2 seconds after your mouse leaves a player, in combat too.
    • Set how long on the Invite page.
  • New version alert: you're told when someone in your guild or group has a newer version.
    • Turn it off on the General page.

Changes

  • New tooltip look: magenta edge and stripe, the size of the game's own tooltips, with the icon and a badge on its top edge, at the right.
    • Fades in smoothly.
  • Text keeps the game's colours: the coloured text is gone.
  • Spell tooltips: Spells and Buffs' look: the rank as a badge, numbers that stand out, and the cost's Mana / Rage / Energy / Focus in its colour.
  • Comparisons: the changes light up one after another, and the game's "If you replace this item" block is left out.

Fixes

  • Tooltip icons: always the same size, and never cover or move the text.
  • Comparisons: bag and vendor items no longer flicker or swap sides while compared.
  • Invite key: now works on unit frames and nameplates, and when the tooltip is hidden.

1.6.0

New

  • Nokkan's tooltip look: every tooltip in the game gets a dark, edged look in the colour of what it shows: class colour, NPC reaction or item quality.
    • Turn it off on the Tooltip page.
  • Coloured text: class-coloured names, guilds in green, levels in their difficulty colour, damage and its school (Fire, Nature, Physical...) in the school's colour, Magic / Curse / Poison / Disease in theirs, healing green and other numbers gold.
  • Icon and badge: the icon (or NPC portrait) in the tooltip's top-right corner, and Boss / Elite / Rare / Epic / Guild on its top edge.
  • Stat differences: while comparing items, each stat of the hovered item shows how much better or worse it is than yours.
  • Plays nice with other tooltip addons: with TipTac, TinyTooltip, ElvUI and the like, the look starts off.
    • Turn it on again on the Tooltip page.

Fixes

  • WoW: Forever: removed a texture setting that could crash the Forever client.

1.5.2

New

  • /nwcw perf: shows which addons cause frame spikes (stutter), from the game's own addon profiler.

Fixes

  • Stutter when someone targets you:
    • Finding the party / raid frame to glow no longer searches your whole interface at once. The frames are found in the background, a little each frame, after group changes, and reused, so the game no longer freezes for a moment, especially with many addons loaded or in a raid.
    • Nameplates coming and going while someone targets you no longer trigger that search either.
  • Smoother tooltips:
    • The mount-copy and invite keys are no longer re-bound every time the tooltip of the player you're hovering refreshes (e.g. when someone in the group changes target).
  • Endless inspects:
    • Inspecting a player could make the game report a gear change for them, which queued another inspect, and so on, every 1.5 seconds. Those echoes are now ignored.
    • A player whose item level can't be read is tried again after 30 seconds, not every time you hover them.
  • Nameplate underline:
    • Now found on nameplates that are still being set up when they appear, and on nameplate addons that name their parts differently.
    • When a nameplate shows no name, its health bar glows instead.
    • With /nwcw debug on, chat says why a nameplate wasn't marked (e.g. friendly player nameplates are off).

1.5.1

Fixes

  • Item level on WoW: Forever:
    • Now counts every class's gear the vanilla way: the melee weapon (one-hand and off-hand, or a two-hand counted twice) plus the ranged slot.
    • Fixes hunters, warriors and rogues (bows, guns, thrown), priests, mages and warlocks (wands), and paladins, druids and shamans (librams, idols, totems).

1.5.0

New

  • New settings window:
    • A sidebar with a page for each part of the addon: Tooltip, Mount copy, Invite, When targeted and General.
    • Each setting has its own card with an on/off switch or a number picker, and a tooltip explaining it.
    • The window remembers where you put it.
  • Invite the hovered player:
    • Hover a player and press Ctrl + Middle-click (or your own key) to invite them to your group, without targeting them.
    • The key is only taken over while you hover a player you can invite, out of combat. Set it on the new Invite page.
  • Animations. The window pops open and fades out, pages fade in when you switch, and the target glows fade in and out instead of popping.
  • Animation options. Animation speed (1 to 5) and Reduce animations, on the General page.

Changes

  • The Changelog window has a new look, to match the settings window.
  • When your mount key clashes with one of your WoW keybinds, you're asked inside the settings window.
  • The addon's page in Options > AddOns shows the commands that open the settings window.
  • The party / raid frame glow now fits each frame exactly: a crisp ring right on the frame's edge, at any frame size or UI scale.
  • On nameplates, the glow is now a pulsing underline right under the player's name, sized to the name's text.

Fixes

  • Glow stuck on a frame:
    • A party / raid frame could keep glowing after that player stopped targeting you (e.g. out of range or offline). Everyone glowing is now re-checked twice a second.

1.4.1

Fixes

  • Lua errors when someone targets you: the party / raid frame glow could throw "secret value" errors (from Blizzard's aura frames). It now skips those frames safely.
