Dogtag help required

[cordelia]

Hi all,

I have never used dogtags. I've used lots of mods that use dogtags. I use Pitbull (now phasing out for icehud, mostly), CowTip, and some other mods that allow me to specify dogtags. But I have no idea how to do it. My cowtip mouseover is full of garbage information and there's way too much to be useful.

Can anyone point me to a good dogtag primer so I can start to customize some of these details?

Pitbull has a built in dog tag reference. I'm on my phone atm, but have got some pretty nifty dog tags on both my pitbull and cowtip I'll try to come back and post as soon as I can.

^ It even has a handy dandy search function. Most dogtag commands are pretty straightforward and logical as well.

If you actually open up the DogTag editor in CowTip and spend 5 minutes reading it, you'll figure it out. I did, and got rid of most of the crap that I didn't want to read.

Some of my favorite ones

From PitBull:

[HP:Short ' | ' (if IsFriend then
MissingHP:Short:Color('ff7f7f')
else
PercentHP:Percent:Color('ff7f7f')
end)]

Shows "CurrentHP | MissingHP" for friendly targets and Shows "CurrentHP | PercentHP" for hostile

From CowTip:

[(if [IsPlayer or [IsEnemy and not IsPet]] then ClassColor end) NameRealm:PvPRank (if Level = "1" then "" else White ' (' Level ') ' end) Classification] [Status]

shows their full name (titles included, not just PvPtitles as the dogtag suggests) and their level if its not 1 (hides it for critters)

[(if Guild then (if GuildRank then GuildRank ' of ' end) Guild:Angle end)]

Displays "GuildRank of Guild" if they have a guild rank (NPC's dont) if not just displays "Guild", so I'd be "Shogun of Fury Untold" but a banker would be "Banker" NOT "of Banker"

[HP] [PercentHP:Percent:Paren] / [if HasMP then MP ' ' PercentMP:Percent:Paren end]

I use to consolidate hp and mana into one line on CowTip

Screenshot - dont mind the no kgPanels and a few other nasty things, I just moved everything around today and didn't have a chance before the raid to fix it.
