Hehehe First, Let's go to the business shall we..... can you do a unit tooltip? I mean when you create want to footmen in barrack you see a tooltip, I need suggestion for a tooltip, let's just say I'm making a footmen tooltip :

A melee attacker.
Abilities :
Defend
Attack Land unit

Here, do I need to polish it more, or enough, suggestion plz

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

I added application forms for unit description; follow it, and you will get your tooltip.

 

[aldo2000]

No, I need your suggestion about my tooltip

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Well, you can try with this form:

A light defender, particularly effective against ranged attackers.

Average Damage: 10
Hit Points: 300
Targets: Land only

Abilities
Defend - Toogle activation to take reduced damage from piercing attacks at the cost of speed penalty.

You can add any more information you want.

 

[aldo2000]

Oh yeah! I forgot, My tooltip were :
A Weak Melee Attacker
Ability :
Defend
Attack Damage : X.
Armor Base : X.
Attack land units.

Here my full tooltip, should I add more?

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Well, weak isn't a good thing to use. If you seek Warcraft style, then use "Light", "Medium" and "Heavy". There's no need to capitalize every word, and you should use some gentle, not destructive colors and spaces between different sections, such as Abilities, description, targets and statistics.

 

[-Kobas-]

Can I request like 10 ability tooltips?
But if I do can I contact you trough PM?

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

You can request as much as possible.

 

[aldo2000]

Thank's

 

[deathdoorway]

Hey I would like to request help on tooltips for heroes. Currently I am working on 1 hero so if we could start with that I'd thank you very much

Hero Name

1. Hero Class - Priest
2. Gender - Male
3. Hero's Model - Human healer
4. Name Length - Short (need to have a couple)

Hero Description

1. Hero Class Priest
2. Hero Name _____
3. Hero's Model Human Healer
4. Abilities: - I'll post these in a little bit. Currently I'm in college but they are 11 spells.
5. Description Length: Short

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

What about these names: Aleane, Taralliot, Luceron, Gabryn?

For tooltip, I don't think that you can fit so much skills within a short one. Maybe you can give me the concept of skills and we can go from that point? I would basically need a quick guide, such as "Heals" or "Damages and curses nearby enemies".

Well, you can try with this form:

A light defender, particularly effective against ranged attackers.

Average Damage: 10
Hit Points: 300
Targets: Land only

Abilities

You can add any more information you want.

It's nice, but i think that have the war3's codes for this tooltip (the |cXXXXXXXXText|r for example) should be very nice. (why not post it in a CODE ?)

 

[aldo2000]

I know the code....

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

The code for upper mentioned tooltip:

Color Code

I got a pretty small but very hard problem to solve... I cant make my item descreptions/tooltip in my item shops look readeable... The letters jumps outside the outline box and makes it look very ugly, i dont know how to fix this, and havent found any answers on the help sites. Someone here who can help me ? I could send the map to you and you could see the problem yourself, and maybe help fix it.

Is this something you can help with Apleraz Lucent ?

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Sure thing. Upload your map to this site's Pastebin, and send me the link via Private Message. I will see what I can do.

 

[stimmedmarine]

Here we are:

I realy hope you can fix this, i have used quite some time on this map. Thanks for the help.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Ah, I see. Well, the solution will be hard-working, but it is an easy one to look upon.
You have unallowed characters in your tooltips, which makes them stretch over the boundaries. Take a look at those two cubes: it can be seen from "distance", but it can't be seen when you open and edit your tooltips.

Solution?
Remake all the tooltips that are causing troubles. Just delete everything, and write down what you want.

Good luck with your project!

 

[stimmedmarine]

This havent realy worked for me... could you try and make 3-4 item descriptions, and tell me how you done. I have still not gotten succes from just deleting the text and writing a new one....

 

[stimmedmarine]

Apheraz Lucent please help... this problem is realy annoying....

 

[stimmedmarine]

Im surprised you did not know this problem.... Both Text Name and Tooltip Basic has to have the same name... It seems the import of the items have removed the Tooltip text or something... But now you know. Thanks for the help.


Answer to the post down below.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

I'm glad you did, but please don't post multiple posts in a very short period of time - you can earn negative reputation that way. Delete the posts, or merge them into one.

This was offtopic, by the way. I tried to remove some of imported files, but I haven't tested it yet. What was causing the issues (answer me on my profile, to avoid further off-topic)?
