Rock5's TooltipIds Addon

[rock5]

Here is a game addon that shows the ids of things in game. This is an addon, not a userfunction, so it goes in "Runes of Magic/Interface/Addons".

Features:

• Shows Ids of thing you point at in it's tooltip, except fot buff ids which are printed to chat.
• Currently supported tooltips include:
  • - Unit Ids (eg. mobs and npcs),
    - Item Ids (eg. bag, bank, magicbox and itemshop items),
    - Skill Ids (in the Skillbook),
    - Buff and debuff Ids (on the player or others)
    - Title Ids (In the title interface)
    - Mall Ids and GUIDs (ie. itemshop items)
    - Store Ids (both sell and buyback tabs)
    - Guild bank Ids.
    - Quest Ids
• Includes a settings frame where you can choose which Ids you wish to see and what color the ids should be.
• The settings frame can be called with the slash commands

  Code: Select all

  /tooltipids

  or

  Code: Select all

  /ti

• If you have AddonManager you can also use the addonmanager button.
• Makes 2 new functions available for users to use
  
  • GetIdName(id)
  Similar to the bot function of the same name, it returns the name associated with that id.
  
  
  • GetNameIds(name)
  This returns a table of ids that match that name.
• Remembers your settings to restore them the next time you start the game.

Note: Accurate Unit Ids can't be gotten from the game so it lists all matching ids. If you get multiple matches but you want the exact id then use "rom/getid" in the micromacro console.

Note2: The scan for the ids, used with Unit tooltips, takes a few seconds. So if you point at a mob or npc within a few seconds of the game starting, you might see "Still scanning" instead if the id.

Note3: GetIdName and GetNameIds now only work for Unit range of Ids because the scan is faster and so you don't get non-unit ids in the unit tooltips. You can easily increase the scan range if you need the full range of ids for some other purpose.

This is what i was looking for a long time
It's working as intended,
ty very much Rock5

[lisa]

works nice, well done.

Doesn't do items you are wearing, so just move the item to your bag to get it's ID.

Mailbox has a loooong list of ID's lol

Hmmm.... Maybe i'm losing it. But I cant get the functions to work.
GetNameIds(name) where name is the the name of the object or npc.
How do I run the function.
For example I want the Id for the First Boss in Bethomia (Hoson) so I can find the drop rates of the items.
What do I type?

[lisa]

well it would return a table of names.

Code: Select all

/script ll = GetNameIds("Hoson") for k,v in pairs(ll) do SendSystemChat(v) end

That would print in game any Id's for the NPC Hoson

106853, 107581, 107583


Unfortunately I don't know of any table print functions in game and RoMScript would only return table: 3B438540 and not the actual table, hence the long line to just print the Id's, maybe Rock should think of changing the GetNameIds function to print each Id and then also return the table afterwards, purely to make it user friendly??

[rock5]

The 'pr' command that I'll be including with the next version of fastLogin will be able to print tables but that doesn't help you now.

Chances are at least one of the addons you have installed uses the Sol lib so you could use their print table function. Try

Code: Select all

/script Sol.io.PrintTable(GetNameIds("Hoson"))

Note the name has to be exactly spelt correctly.

[lisa]

I don't have it on this PC but I was just thinking something like this.

Code: Select all

GetNameIds(name,_print)
..
..
..
..

if _print then for k,v in pairs(sometable) do SendSystemChat(v) end end

return sometable

end

so then in game you can just do

Code: Select all

/script GetNameIds("Hoson",true)

[rock5]

I think that would make things not clear. 'GetNameIds' gets the Ids of the name. It's not a print function. And adding true to mean 'print the results' is not intuitive. I'd probably just create a new function, something like,

Code: Select all

function PrintNameIds(name)
   local ids = GetNameIds(name)
   if ids then
      for k,v in pairs(ids) do SendSystemChat(v) end
   else
      SendSystemChat("Name not found")
   end
end

Can you explain, how you want to read out the drop rates?

AlterEgo95

I think he means he would record the number of drops and then use that to determine the drop rate. So, if he did 100 runs on the 1st boss and it dropped item "X" 10 times that would be a 10% drop rate.

At least that's how I read it.

I have been a fan of Zeus16 over on Curse. And he posted how to find the drop id's of loot that is linked to a particular mob (in my case; A Boss) I need to the know the id's so I can find it in the npcobject.db tables. But using the script Lisa posted I got it to work.

[Ego95]

Yeah his addons are nice, I know him he plays on my server ^^
I'm going to try finding the drop rates tomorrow too Didn't know that this would be possible.

wow... awsome addon Rock5 thx.. this make game live easier..lol

[wps]

Cool !
Have to try it.
If possible, could it show quest id in next version?

[rock5]

The quest log doesn't pop up a tooltip so it wasn't easy to add, that's why I didn't include it. I'll probably work out some way to do it eventually.

[lisa]

I had a look and some quests do and some don't, so yeah no point doing it that way if you only get it for some.

Do the quests usually have the lvl next to them or was that added in by advanced quest log?

I didn't noticed that.
Sorry to bring up a unreasonable suggestion.
In fact, I already wrote a script to output quest information.
It's just nice to have.

[rock5]

It wasn't at all unreasonable. Obviously quest Ids are something that needed to be added because it's one of the things us botters use in our scripts.

Anyway, had another go at it and didn't find it so hard. Went back to the basics. The quest items have a mouse onenter event. That functions just checks if the quest name is too long to be displayed and shows the tooltip. It's a small enough function that I just copied it over to the addon and added a bit of code to always show the id if the option is enabled.

Now at version 1.0b2
