Is it possible to make/find/direct me to a stand-alone mod that will allow me to see someone's guild in the tooltip (or possibly above their target frame when targeted)? I don't want to install cosmos (which I hear is a beast of a mod) for one tiny little function. This would be a MASSIVE help not only for me for my curiousity about knowing who is in a guild, but also for those people who play on PvP and "accidentally" kill someone of the same guild on the other faction cause they didn't see the guild name. I know I can't see the name untill I'm 20 yards past the other side of the person... For that matter an option to highlight a specific guild either in bold or a different colour to help those who PvP with both factions on one server would be a nice addition ;)

So this is a big request going out to all modders, PLEASE make a small stand-alone mod for this.

/me smacks Blizzard for not having this in the base UI.

Well, so far from what I've seen. The only way to tell what guild a person is, without seeing them, is by inspecting them. So I guess you could make it inspect the target behind the scenes and then change the tooltip...but...that could be laggy. :/

lots of tooltip mods do this, I believe. I like AF_ToolTip, because it's attractive and gives me all the information I need.

Whether it plays nicely with cosmos or not, I don't know, because I haven't used cosmos since level 3 or so.

Click This Link for the AF_ToolTip Download page (http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=539)

A picture of the mod. (http://ui.worldofwar.net/images/ui/1112121247AF_Tooltip.jpg)

The new modified ToolTip shows a players guild (be they alliance/horde) in <x> format, eg. <Crimson Dreams>. If they are in your own guild, the tag will be green. If they are an enemy the tag is red, if friendly the tag is blue.

When the Mod is installed, use simple / commands to place the tip in different locations (default bottom left {same as bliz's default}). This mod replaces your normal tooltip.

I like to use /aftt top, which makes tooltips appear in top center of screen.

Thank you so much!

This is as near perfect as I could have hoped for :) A tad more custisiation would be nice, but I can probably dig about a bit and mess with it myself ;)
