File Description
MobInfo-2 is a World of Warcraft AddOn that provides you with useful additional information about Mobs (ie. opponents/monsters). It adds new information to the game's Tooltip whenever you hover with your mouse over a mob. It also adds a numeric display of the Mobs health and mana (current and max) to the Mob target frame. MobInfo-2 is the continuation of the now abandoned "MobInfo" by Dizzarian combined with the original "MobHealth2" by Wyv.
Readme
*** MobInfo-2 Data Collecting *** MobInfo collects data whenever you fight a Mob. It starts off with an empty database, which fills up automatically the more you fight and play. The data it collects is used for enhancing the game tooltip and the game target frame. It is also available to other AddOns (mostly the mob/target health values). The amount of data that gets recorded is configurable through the MobInfo options dialog. * New Feature: * It is now possible to IMPORT externally supplied MobInfo databases into your own database. The detailed import instructions can be found in file 'ReadMe.txt'. * New Feature: * It is now possible to CONVERT and import a DropRate database into your MobInfo database. The detailed import instructions can be found in file 'ReadMe.txt'. *** Extra Information For Game Tooltip *** The extra information available to show on the game tooltip is: Class - class of mob Health - current and total health of the mob Mana - current and total mana of the mob Damage - min/max damage range of Mob against you (stored per char) DPS - your DPS (damage per second) against the Mob (stored per char) Kills - number of times you have killed the mob (stored per char) Total Looted - number of times you have looted the mob Empty Loots - number of times you found empty loot on the mob XP - actual LAST xp amount you gained from the mob # to Level - number of kills of this mob neede to gain a level Quality - the quality of items that are dropped by the mob Cloth drops - the number of times cloth has dropped on the mob Avg Coin Drop - average amount of money dropped by the mob Avg Item Value - average vendor value of items dropped by mob Total Mob Value - total sum of avg coin drop and avg item value Loot Items - all loot items dropped by a Mob can be recorded Mob Location - the location where you killed a Mob gets recorded and can be shown in the tooltip There are two modes for displaying the data: normal mode and compact mode. In normal mode one line is added to the tooltip per single data item from the list above. In compact mode two data items will be combined on one line of the tooltip. User of TipBuddy should note that (only) the MobInfo Compact Mode is compatible with the TipBuddy Compact Mode. Note that MobInfo offers a "Combined Mode" where the data of Mobs with the same name that only differ in level gets combined (added up) into one tooltip. This mode can be enabled through the options dialog *** Target Frame Health/Mana Values *** MobInfo can display the numeric and percentage values for your current targets health and mana right on the target frame (formerly known as MobHealth functionality). This display is highly configurable through the MobInfo options dialog (position, font, size, etc). *** MobInfo Options Dialog *** Type '/mi2' or '/mobinfo2' on the chat prompt to open the MobInfo2 options dialog. This dialog gives you full interactive control over EVERYTHING that MobInfo can do. All options take immediate effect. Simply try them all out. Decent defaults get set when you start MobInfo for the first time. Note that the 4 main categories 'Tooltip', 'Mob Health/Mana', 'Database' and 'Search' have separate dedicated options pages within the options dialog. Everything in the options dialog has an associated help text that explains to you what the option does. The help texts are shown automatically as a tooltip. *** How to Install *** Before installing a (new) version of MobInfo it is IMPORTANT that you exit and close WoW ! Unpack the ZIP file and copy the folder 'MobInfo2' into your 'World of WarcraftInterfaceAddOns' folder. If asked choose to overwrite existing files. If you have an existing MobInfo database it is a good idea to backup this database just so you have a backup copy in a save location. You can find your MobInfo database here: 'World of Warcraft/WTF/Account//SavedVariables/MobInfo2.lua'. Now you can again start WoW and enjoy the new MobInfo. MobInfo-2 will automatically load the next time you login with one of your chars. When starting the first time you might get a message that a separate MobHealth AddOn was detected. If so please remove it, or at least disable it. You will find that it is no longer needed, because MobInfo-2 is a full featured and fully compatible replacement for "MobHealth". *** New Features *** * CONVERSION and import of DropRate data : read the DropRate conversion instructions in file 'ReadMe.txt' * IMPORT of externally supplied databases : read the import instructions in file 'ReadMe.txt' * you can now delete all Mobs shown in the search result list using the new 'Delete' button on the search page * display drop percentages for loot items and correctly calculate skinning item percents * Mob Location recording: the location where you killed a Mob gets recorded and can be shown in the tooltip * MobInfo can now optionally display 'Dropped By' data (ie. the names of Mobs dropping an item) in the item tooltip * SPANISH LOCALIZATION : to enable he Spanish localization you must edit the file 'localization.es.lua' and change at the top of the file '--ENABLE_SPANISH = true' to 'ENABLE_SPANISH = true'
