Important Notice for TipBuddy
I have stopped working on TipBuddy to work on my new tip mod: <file type="tooltip">8709</file>
Reason I stopped working on TipBuddy was due to it not being my mod, it was the work of Chester, he made the mod originally, I just updated it.
When you are working on code you didn't write yourself, it is a lot more complicated to work with, and I didn't feel I could fix the bugs in TipBuddy, each new release had new bugs popping up and I was getting seriously annoyed with it.
Also, TipBuddy was taking way too much memory, I believe it was somewhere between 500 and 700k which is a lot for a standalone mod with no libraries. TipTac uses 30k.
My plan with TipTac was just to make a smaller mod, one that didn't hog so many resources and one that would be a lot easier for me to work with.
To all those who has used TipBuddy, thank you. I will ask you to try out TipTac and see if you like it. If you feel there is something missing which you could do in TipBuddy, post what it is on the TipTac page and it might be something I will add.
TipBuddy - Updated for WoW 2.0
This mod was originally made by Chester. http://wow.curse-gaming.com/en/files/.../tipbuddy/
I updated this to work with WoW 2.0, mostly for my own personal use. But I noticed Curse still don't have a working TipBuddy mod, so I decided to release it.

Original Description by Chester
TipBuddy is the ultimate, most customizable tooltip mod you can find. With TipBuddy, you have total control over what you want to see in your tooltip. You can display your tooltips for units in two ways: Default mode and Compact Mode. Default mode's visual style is similar to Blizzard's default tooltip, but much much more customizable. Compact Mode has a unique style that is a bit more compact and (for some) much better to read. It has a few more options Default Mode. Using a combination of both is not uncommon to differentiate one type of unit from another. Check out some features below:
TipBuddy Features
- Anchor your unit tooltips to your mouse or to the TipBuddyAnchor (which can be dragged anywhere you want onscreen)
- Non-unit tooltips (buttons, etc) can be anchored to your mouse, the TipBuddyAnchor or with "Smart" Anchoring (will always keep the tip on screen no matter what)
- All of your tooltips clip to the edge of the screen. Even if you have it attached to your mouse, it will never get clipped off the edge.
- All modes of anchoring can be configured and offset however you like.
- Your tooltip's background color can be customized to your liking per unit-type (including guildmates). OR:
- Background colors can be set to reflect the difficulty of that unit towards you (red=impossible, green=easy, grey=trivial, etc)
- Easy to use Options Menu (see screenshot)
- Shows buffs and debuffs on your tooltip
- Shows rank icons next to name
- Show rank player rank titles next to name or turn them off
- All lines in the tooltip can be turned on or off per unit-type
- See your target's target next to their name which is color coded based on the target type (this is extremely useful)
- All tooltips can be scaled up or down
- Supports MobHealth database and can show health/mana text over the bars
- Adds Guild, Class, Race (all color configurabale) to your tooltip
- All text colors are configurable with easy to use color wheels
- Choose whether the Default tip fades away or disappears
- Plus more!!
