Preparing for Wrath of the Lich King (and 3.0.2)

Just finished a quick test with the three AddOns I have created (BagTips, MailTips and UberInventory) under Wrath of the Lich King.

The AddOns BagTips and MailTips work without the need of any modifications. UberInventory is in need of some changes due to the numerous documented and (sadly) undocumented changes. Most of the changes I have already implemented, but there are still some minor issues to be tackled.

I hope to have those issues sorted within the next couple of days.

When UberInventory passes the test of running fine in Wrath of the Lich King, new versions of all three AddOns will be made available on curse.com

Updated to BagTips and MailTips

Yesterday or better said early this morning I have updated two of my World of Warcraft Addons, BagTips and MailTips.

I had installed the Addon InfoPanel and from that moment one the tooltips displayed by both BagTips and MailTips did not like right anymore. The names of the items from either a bag or a mail message was displayed using two lines within the tooltip instead of just one. After a bit of searching I found that InfoPanel uses the pipeline character in some displayed text (plugins RaidInfo and Zone).

InfoPanel_SetText(f,
                  "%.1f |cffffff00|||r %.1f",
                  x * 100,
                  y * 100);

Somehow this has an influence of information added to tooltips and fontstrings that use the texture tag to add images to textstring

tooltip:AddDoubleLine( "  |T"..value.texture..":0|t "..key,
                       value.count,
                       r, g, b );

It appears that when you are using the method and using the code InfoPanel uses the actual width for the fontstring is not calculated correctly. To quickly workaround this I just add two spaces after the item name like so

tooltip:AddDoubleLine( "  |T"..value.texture..":0|t "..key.."  ",
                       value.count,
                       r, g, b );

and everything works again as expected.

Now I only need to fix UberInventory, because it has similar issues. Hopefully I can get those issues resolved today as well.
