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.


New Feature Info : MobInfo Tooltip Window
By default MobInfo now shows and uses the new MobInfo Tooltip window. On screen there is a movable anchor (click&drag to move it) called 'MI'. Initially you should find it underneath the minimap. Thats where the MobInfo Tooltip appears. MobInfo tooltip can also show up at and follow mouse location.

In the MobInfo options window you can configrue the layout of the MobInfo Tooltip (on the 'Tooltip' options page). You can also decide to not use it at all and use the normal Gamtooltip instead (this option is on the 'General' options page).

MobInfo Data

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 made 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 show the vendor sell value of an item in the item tooltip (Disabled initially, enable in MobInfo 'Tooltip' options).

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
Mob Resistances - the mobs magic resistances and immunities

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.

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.

Resiatances and Immunities Tracking

MobInfo implementats a considerably simplified method for resistances and immunities tracking. It records for each school of magic the number of spells that have succeeded and the number of spells that were resisted. The resulting percentage is NOT the exact magic resist stat of the mob ! Instead MobInfo attempt to show you a rough but helpful indication of how likely the mob is to resist spells of a specific class of magic. Sidenote: In fact due to WoW limitations it is impossible for an AddOn to calculate the exact magic resist stat.

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 within 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 Warcraft/Interface/AddOns/' 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

Recently a number of great new featrues have been added to MobInfo. I'm sure you'd love at least some of them, if not all, if only you knew they existed and how to activate them :-) So here is a list for you:

* MobInfo now featuers its own movable and configurable MobInfo tooltip window

* optimized and simplified MobInfo options window

* MobInfo minimap button for opening the MobInfo options window

* added Polish localisation for MobInfo (thanks to Eliander)
To activate the Polish translation you must rename the file 'localization.PL.lua' to 'localization.lua' BEFORE starting WoW. Both files are located in the folder 'World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns/MobInfo2/'. This will simply replace the standard English localization texts with the corresponding Polish texts.

* drastically improved Mob health calculation accuracy

* vendor sell value of items can be shown in item tooltip


Official MobInfo discussion forum
There is an official MobInfo discussion and bug reporting forum that you are all welcome to use. The main advantage is that it allows creating seperate topic threads for discussing different topics. This means your comment wont get lost in a flood of comments. Here's the link to the forum:
[link='http://www.dizzarian.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=16'] http://www.dizzarian.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=16[/link]


Soon to Come

New features that I plan for the next release(s):
- improve the item tooltip 'Dropped By' list
- improve the target frame health/mana display
- add support for CowTip (and maybe other tooltip AddOns)

Patch notes for MobInfo-2, v3.71 (includes MobHealth)
3.71
* fixed: added an old module into the system to tie it all together while I attempt to track down the bug.

3.70
* fixed: A host of errors caused by the newest patch which resulted in cascading errors. WoW now provides MobHealth info so I am slowly weaning the modules off of the calculated data. This could cause random errors but I have yet to see any. I am doing it this way to get a working mod out quicker and to avoid rewriting the entire thing.

3.61
* fixed: kills for Mobs that give no XP were not being counted
* conversion support for "DropRate" data removed

3.60
* updated to be compatible with WoW 2.40
* fixed: Mob class not being shown correctly (thanks to Zergreth for heads up and the fix)
* fixed: health values from Beast Lore will no longer get lost
* fixed: show BeastLore extra info correctly in MobInfo tooltip
* fixed: nil bug on line 304 when using CowTip
3.52
* updated the MobInfo built-in item price table
* show NPC profession in NPC tooltip
* use unit interaction color (green, yellow, red) for tooltip frame

3.51
* fixed a nil bug when hovering over items in item search result
* fixed : search result sort by item count did not sort correctly
* fixed a bug causing NPCs to get added to the MobInfo database
* improved search speed when searching for items

3.50
* support 4 new skinning loot items
* show the MobInfo tooltip also for NPCs
* new search page option: max times looted
* MobInfo built-in search page now searches in the background without blocking
* attempted to fix the bug where the looting rights line for corpses was not shown in the MobInfo tooltip
* fixed nil bug when opening soft-shelled class
* do not show class for NPCs

NOTE: I don't know how to make paragraphs on this site, so consider the groups of 3 *'s as being a new line/paragraph so you're not confused. ***

For anyone still using this one instead of MobInfo3 (from curse.com), here's the fix for the tooltips no longer working with patch 3.2. Note that this fix is required for BOTH MobInfo2 and MobInfo3. ***

Open MobInfo2.lua in Interface\Addons\MobInfo2\ in notepad and search for (Ctrl-F): ***

local col = GetDifficultyColor(mobLevel) ***

Replace it with: ***

local col = GetQuestDifficultyColor(mobLevel)

This was posted earlier, but i thought i'd put it at the top so people could see. this is the scrolling fix that is the only real bug with this addon. this really only takes about a min or two to fix. here it is:

scrolling fix:
edit "MobInfo2\Frames\MI2_SearchOptions.xml"
and change line 139
from " <OnVerticalScroll>FauxScrollFrame_OnVerticalScroll( 14, MI2_SearchResult_Update );</OnVerticalScroll>"
to
" <OnVerticalScroll>FauxScrollFrame_OnVerticalScroll( self, offset, 14, MI2_SearchResult_Update );</OnVerticalScroll>"

Just thought I'd let people know that you can find MobInfo3 being worked on from Curse.com. It seems to work well and the author is active, so we should see improvements and fixes in the future on that one. Also, I won't be adding more to my wiki since MobInfo3 automatically updates prices now so there's no need for manually entering prices anymore. Others can still add to it if they want for use with MobInfo2 if they prefer to stick with that version of the mod. Unless it doesn't see much use over a period of time, I'll leave it up. If it's not used, I'll eventually take it down. :)

In addition to what I posted below about how to add the cloth and skinning items found in Northrend, I'm also trying to update the sell price list with the new items. I can't do a lot of it all on my own, so would appreciate others helping me out. If you want to help, please visit my MobInfo2 Wiki and help to update the list there - http://www.kakkoiitranslations.net/mi2wiki/

PS - Anyone updating this mod is always welcome to use the data from the wiki in updates. That's what it's there for.

Can someone else take this over who knows how to update it and will actually do so? You can already find an updated version of this that was released BEFORE this last update and also includes the fix for scrolling on the wowace forums. We need updates.

BTW, I've updated it slightly myself to include 1 more cloth and 6 more skinning loots found in Northrend. You need to edit the mobinfo2.lua file if you want to update it on yours. To do so, open the file in notepad and look up in the first page or two (depending on the size of your notepad window) for the section on skinning loot table. You'll see a list of skinning items, then a space and then skinning items found only with herbalism. At the end of the section above the herbalism line (before the space, insert:

-- Borean Leather Scraps, Borean Leather, Arctic Fur, Icy Dragonscale, Nerubian Chitin, Jormungar Scale

Note that that isn't required, but it comments the file so you know what things are. Next, go down just a bit more and find "local miSkinLoot". At the end of that table, you'll see:

[25708]=1,[29548]=1,[29539]=1,[29547]=1 }

Change that to:
[25708]=1,[29548]=1,[29539]=1,[29547]=1,

And insert the following line after it:
[33567]=1,[33568]=1,[44128]=1,[38557]=1,[38558]=1,[38561]=1 }

That adds the 6 skinning loot item ids.

For the cloth, we need to add Frostweave Cloth. Go down just slightly further and find the list of cloth names:

-- Linen Cloth, Wool Cloth, Silk Cloth, Mageweave Cloth, Felcloth, Runecloth, Mooncloth, Netherweave

Change to:
-- Linen Cloth, Wool Cloth, Silk Cloth, Mageweave Cloth, Felcloth, Runecloth, Mooncloth, Netherweave Cloth, Frostweave Cloth

Note again that this isn't necessary, but comments your file so you know what is what. Also note that I changed Netherweave's commented lable to Netherweave Cloth as that's the correct name. Because it's a comment, it doesn't affect anything and you can leave that as-is or change it.

Next, go down to the local "local miClothLoot" table just below that.

Change:
local miClothLoot = { [2589]=1, [2592]=1, [4306]=1, [4338]=1, [14256]=1, [14047]=1, [14342]=1, [21877 ]=1 };

To:
local miClothLoot = { [2589]=1, [2592]=1, [4306]=1, [4338]=1, [14256]=1, [14047]=1, [14342]=1, [21877 ]=1, [33470]=1 };

That's all there is to it. You now have those 7 items displaying correctly. Note that I've only been able to test the Frostweave cloth as I've not looted the skinning items (I'm not a skinner). They should work, but it would be good if someone here tested that part out and made sure it worked.


**NOTE** Each "line" that I say to change is a single line. Ignore the wrapping caused by this site.

The // part happened because you used Beast Lore on a beast target, and the MI2 addon used // show that the health value of the target is 100% accurate, instead of estimated.
Something that can be removed today ;)
629 days ago
I'd just turn off the health display in MobInfo and turn it on in WoW's options. It will be accurate that way and it won't give you errors. I would bet that the health part will get removed from a future version of MobInfo... if there is another release. From what I saw, this last update came out a couple of days after someone else released a fixed version on another site and it seems to be the same file. And that other site released another fix that took care of another bug that I believe is still present in this release. So I'm not entirely convinced that this last release wasn't just 'stolen' from the other site. I hope I'm wrong because that other site just made it work again and isn't going to keep it updated beyond that, so I'm really hoping the guy who took it over here is doing the work himself so we can keep a good working version of this great mod.

try deleting your mobinfo.lua folder. i had this same problem happen to me today and it fixed it for me.
636 days ago
MobInfo doesn't display the mob's info. If I move the cursor over a mob's name that comes up when you click on the search tab, the mob info displays. If I move the cursor over a mob, the normal WOW tool tip comes up.

I have Show Mob Information in the ToolTip selected and the option under unselected. I'm getting the same tooltip regardless of which is selected.

I tried removing MobInfo and the re-installing 3.71 but still no joy.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I disable the mob-health module with the following commented lines in MI2_Events.lua:

local function MI2_CheckForSeparateMobHealth()
--MobInfoConfig.DisableHealth = 0
--if MobHealth_OnLoad then
MobInfoConfig.DisableHealth = 2
UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage( MI_TXT_MH_DISABLED, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 20 )
--end
end -- MI2_CheckForSeparateMobHealth

It's not pretty, but it works.
640 days ago
Since Blizzard now shows all the health and mana values of all mobs and players (known and unknown) without the need to install a separate addon for it, I wonder what that added benefit of the "mob-health" module is?

How do I remove the class from the Tooltip? I see no checkbox or option to select/deselect.

I just love this mod it is one of my favs I am looking at trying to resarect another mod that goes with it. mobinfo browser but i dont want to tread on someone else toes. please pm me if you are also updating this mod as i would have to start from scrach. One of thing i like is the search item and location if this could be added to this mod it would be great.

i cant for some reason get the info box to work when mousing over a mob. tried everything it feels like but i cant get it to work.

Thank you for updating this!
646 days ago
Could you be my hero and make it so that when you target a mob their mobinfo window stays up until you arent' targeting them? I hate having to mouse over them the whole time.

Just make it a toggleable option, or even a "don't fade out for X seconds" and have a slider. I'd set that sucker for 60 ;D.

Radoznall, I am currently updating another Mod, when I complete that, I will try to look into the issue.

i fixed it working fine love it all i had to do was get rid of all saved var. for all chars reinstall and wala fixed np thanks again
647 days ago
it's not working for me i've used MI2 a long time since patch 3.0.2 all the tabs on the config are offset to the right search is off the frame completely and none of the tabs open i can only get to the 1st page of the config. added new version on the 19th v3.71 still not working thanks
647 days ago
ThorsLiebing, If you deleted the stored variable from the WTF file, they can be replaced by either attempting to look in your recycle bin, and if that does not work, there are Databases that can be downloaded for Mobinfo which should still work fine.

@ PapaTango:
Thank you very much for the update. I just tested it with the German client and everything works fine :)

I just have one question: Before starting WoW, I deleted my saved variables of MobInfo. Is it possible to import my old data?

Greetings from Germany :)

650 days ago
Yeah, can anyone please update this so it works again? The main functionality is still there. It still tracks and displays the tooltips correctly. It's the config frame that's messed up more than anything. If someone can just get that working again, that's the main thing.

Or another variant:
When crating DB change filename Mobinfo2.lua to Mobinfo2xxxx.lua, where xxxx is some locale string (enUS, deDE, ruRU etc...).
In that case, when starting, addon checks locale and auto select needed Mobinfo2xxxx.lua file equal realm locale setting.
Uups! Done!
714 days ago
Hi, Skeeve!
Is it possible to make locale autodetection and autoswitching DB without loosing previous created DBs? What I mean?... I mean, that in different locale realms the names of the same mobs and items are different. When I chadge realms from one to another language setting, I MUST delete previous DB (or make backup by renaming file and keeping it in safe place). After that I can use your great addon again. But... That`s not very pleasant to do that operation every time I change LOCALE realms... So it will be very nice to learn your addon to make that itself. I thinking, it`s need to make next steps:
For example, last used locale was enUS.
1. Detecting realm locale. (For example deDE.)
2. Seek DB (what locale is DB from?)
3. If DB is from deDE locale, then addon starts and all is good.
4. If DB locale not equal realm locale (for example enUS), addon renames existed DB from Mobinfo2.lua to Mobinfo2.lua.enUS, and starts.
5. Next time when entering realms, addon checks local settings.
6. If current DB locale equal current realm locale, then starts.
7. If not equal (for example I was returnig to enUS locale again), then rename
----Mobinfo2.lua to Mobinfo2.lua.deDE
----Mobinfo2.lua.enUS to Mobinfo2.lua
8. Start

It that cases we can easy chang our realms locale without loosing any DBs.

Hi sasja,

No free extra time : I am now playing LotRO (on the German server Vanja, char name is Sceeve). I love it because of the nicer graphics, and the great background story, and simply because its something different (okay, not totally different because they stole lots of good ideas from WoW, but I guess you know what I mean).

Hi everyone,

My WoW account still has a few days left on it, so I used the time for one more MobInfo update. I fixed (or at least hope I fixed) the annoying bug that kills were not being counted for Mobs that do not give XP.

Sorry for that bug, but blame it on Blizzard, who keep making drastic AddOn breaking changes to their software. The kill counting got broken by the recent combat log changes that Blizzard made.

Never the less: I am still leaving WoW, as posted below (read there for the full story). My account runs out in about 10 days. There is good news for all fans of MobInfo, though. About 5 people voluntered to continue the AddOn ! I am amazed and happy about this fantastic offer of support. I have now asked one of the volunteers to take over AddOn maintenance.

Best wishes,
Skeeve

Just checked the forum and the author is not going to play WoW anymore, so don't expect any new features or anything new at all for that matter

Hi everyone,

I have good news to report, but bad news also.

The good news first : I am downloading WoW 2.4 in the beackground while writing this. Once I've got it running I will update MobInfo and release a new version that will be 100% compatible. This might take a day or two, so bear with me.

Now onwards to the bad or sad news. This will be my last update to MobInfo. I am planning to withdraw from WoW entirely. For about half a year now I have not actually played WoW at all. I only kept the WoW account so that I could maintain MobInfo. But I must tell you: the account is too expensive for that. I want to explore new online games, and I need the money for that.

Of course I'd very much appreciate it if anyone volunteers to take over the MobInfo AddOn. That would be much better then seeing MobInfo die due to lack of maintenance. If interested please send me a private message or an email (skeeve2_AT_wilmshome_DOT_de).

Regards,
Skeeve

Yes you can load this mod out of date and it will work but other mod you have may not so I would go to c:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\interface\addons\mobinfo2 and edit mobinfo2.toc and change
## Interface: 20300
to
## Interface: 20400

this will allow this mod to load normaly and keep the others that have not been updated out of date

Hello Skeeve, hope you're enjoying HGL but still liking WoW too ;) I have a reluctant request (reluctant because I am leery adding to your plate). I have been playing my rogue quite often now and gotten into the habit pickpocketing everything. Even tried to pickpocket my girlfriend (she always saying I been trying to get into her ummm nvm ;) Anyways. I noticed and the loot count of the pickpockets don't count towards the tooltip coin value or the item count.
So my request would be, if its at all possible, to include the pickpocket count for coin and items. Thanks for the continued hard work

I've noticed that the Dropped by # Mobs text block gets included twice, if you view the tooltip for a dropped Pattern/Recipe.

My MI2 says that all classes that are not "Warrior" are "Paladin". I've had this issue for several versions now, and have not seen any reports of this (sorry if I missed them). My guess because of this- I have something configured badly, or another addon is confusing MI2. Any guidance into what I may need to do is appreciated. I'm on US Muradin, using the English client with a crapload of addons.

Does or can you make Mobinfo2 share info across servers like "Itemync" (Porject Manager: Derkyle)? Don't get me wrong I love Mobinfo2. I just think it can be made better and i am not about to understand how to program for it.
