itemdesc Tooltip entry

[OldnGrey]

Sparked by some recent interest in spellbooks and the posting of some itemdesc entries, I realised I had never used the Tooltip line before.

Of course I wouldn't be posting if it had all worked out, but it simply didn't work!

I disabled the megacliloc package, no difference.
I tried enabling items with objtype below 4000, no good.
I fiddled around with servspecopt settings, no good.
No settings found that should effect it.

Is there maybe a trick to this? I found it first mentioned in a core so old that it came out of the UO ark.

I am currently using 097rc3 and using 4.0.5 client over the top of an ML install. Options gump fiddled with extensively, no good either.

I still can't believe I haven't tried this Tooltip thing in 6 years of scripting. Help me out!

You've meant aos-like tooltips ?

If yes...

I fiddled around with servspecopt settings, no good.

I suppose you've turned aos options on...

What about set_uoexpansion("AOS") for your account ?(or better "ML" and use ML client with your ML install).

Never used them either?
This was for pol077 so it's so ancient that none of the expansions even existed back then.

This is an example of an itemdesc entry with a tooltip defined, taken from the 096 distro.


item 0xa391
{
Name guilddeed
Graphic 0x14EF
Desc Guild Deed
weight 2
newbie 1
Script guildDeed
VendorBuysFor 7500
VendorSellsFor 15000
Tooltip A deed to a Guild Stone, double click it to create the guild.
}


But yes, we run UOFeatureEnable=0x20 in servspecopt, and each account has UOExpansion AOS by default unless the client version is not v4.

Heh...Then I have no idea...Maybe it was a placeholder

I edited my post after you replied. Sorry about that. I gave an example of it just to be clear what I meant.

Ya know OnG I have puzzled over this one too. There is a reference to the ToolTip member in the POL Docs but that's all that is given.

From configfiles.html in \pol\docs:

[Tooltip (string tooltip {default empty})]

Maybe the devs can help out here.
