Added new version 1.5, the project is also open source now, you can download both binaries and source code from ttcreator.sourceforge.net

I tried it and it works pretty good when you understand how to use it.

Small but easy and useful. I hurt my eyes to write my many tooltips -.-
I was bored to check in game if there was no problem.
I think that you need to add some more option.
File : "Save"; "Save as"; "Save project"

A nice ( and necessary ) idea :

Defining project with :
- create tabs on the top : because if the user has to write 15 tooltips, your tool can be jus useless or to tedious to use. ( write a new, copy and paste it, delete, write the second one, cnp, delete etc... oh there is an error on the first...rewrite it... -.- )
- Save project option, so the user can save all his tooltips in the same file. One tooltip per tab.
- Add "Add a tab" and "Remove tab" option.
- Tab may be called by the Name of the tooltip.
- Add an export RTF or SOURCE tooltips option, that export all the tooltip to one rtf or txt file.
- Add more color to custom color. Look to War3modeleditor

... and you got the perfect tool ;)

Ye i know, warcraft uses yellowy tooltips which are retarded on white BG. I've already coded the options to change the BG colors of the editors..

but thank you for your ideas, they'll be taken into considearation



can you give me details about this bug? and how to reproduce it?

Nevermind... it was not a bug ^^

Nantuko, he wasn't saying there was a bug. He was saying that while going through tooltips 1, 2, 3, etc. etc. he finds an error in tooltip 1 and has to rewrite, fix, and recopy/paste, which is a hassle.

It was an example =p

Perfect! I'll be writing tooltips for the map I'm working on pretty soon. I'll check this out.

oh, well :P Tabbed interface is already coded so he won't have to do that anymore :p

Is there any way you could make like "Template" tooltips?

Like you got a tooltip with the colors you use in the map for a spell and you have like:

Description: <Specefic Text>
Type: <Specefic Text>
Damage: <Specefic Text>
Mana Cost: <Specefic Text>
Cooldown: <Specefic Text>
and then you just add in your specefic text. It would be necessary to have a saving option too :P

Btw, I just played around with the colors :D

I guess you can.

aside the other features one will be of saving the whole workspace which will save all tabs on a single file. you can create 1 workspace file especially for items, or for heroes or w/e and use that as some kind of template

That's alright :)

Very nice tool. +rep

*added new version*

Very nice, now it is THE tooltip tool :)
