Implemented: Quickbar Tips

An idea from .net a while back that I thoroughly liked and had forgotten about until someone bumped it today.

When adding quickbar items, add one more field for quickbar tips.
When you hover over a quickbar item, it's display the tip.

It'll be particularly helpful when sitters take your account, and aren't familiar with your quickbar set up.

Very good idea.

And not only for sitters. Sometimes I put in some scripts to test them and afterwards I can't remember what they were for.

That suggestion thread is not about creating tips - it is about making the quickbar shorter by removing text, and making it based on images alone. The alternate text exists in the case where an image fails to load: this allows the player to still make use of the script/link without needing to refresh the page or update it with a new image.

Case example: you have a quickdodge script. In an emergency you go to click the icon, only to realize that the icon has not loaded. If it weren't for alternate text, you'd potentially lose a lot of troops.

But having a tips section per each script additionally to the actual suggestion in that thread would be good too.

The last part of his initial post was:
Pretty much, I'm just asking for another field when creating a quickbar link. One to add a mouseOver caption to the image/link.


To me that's an addition field for a mouse over caption (or a tool tip)

That said, that is what I am suggesting, an additional field added to each quickbar item set up, which would be your mouse over caption.
