Unlock Deeper Item Insights with True Tooltips for tModLoader

Elevate your tModLoader experience with True Tooltips, a powerful mod designed to bring unparalleled clarity and customization to your item information. No more deciphering vague descriptions – True Tooltips provides a comprehensive and visually appealing breakdown of every item you encounter, whether it’s nestled in your inventory or dropped on the battlefield.

A New Level of Customization

True Tooltips empowers you to tailor the appearance and behavior of item tooltips to your exact preferences. Gone are the days of static, uninformative displays. This mod allows you to:

• Adjust the background color of tooltips to match your aesthetic.
• Control the visibility and color of individual tooltip lines, making essential information stand out and clutter disappear. Set any line’s alpha value to zero to effectively hide it.
• Fine-tune the position and spacing between lines for optimal readability.

Enhanced Information at a Glance

Beyond basic customization, True Tooltips introduces significant enhancements to the information presented. Discover crucial details that were previously hidden or difficult to discern:

Ammo and Weaponry Synergy

For your arsenal, True Tooltips intelligently displays the name, quantity, and rarity of any ammo an item uses. It even shows the mod that provides the ammo, and crucially, if an item lacks ammunition, it will inform you what it requires. This functionality extends to fishing poles and tile wands as well.

Refined Stat Presentation

Forget guesswork. True Tooltips presents key combat statistics with enhanced precision:

• Price: Experience a cleaner, always-visible sell price display with improved color-coding, accurately reflecting custom pricing and replacing the vanilla price line.
• Speed: See the exact Attacks Per Second (APS) for your weapons, directly replacing the less informative vanilla speed line.
• Velocity: Gain insight into your item’s projectile velocity. While accuracy can be influenced by complex projectile behaviors, this provides a valuable baseline.
• Knockback: Knockback is now clearly presented as a numerical value, offering a straightforward comparison.
• Combined Stats: With the “Better Knockback Line” option enabled, you can consolidate weapon and ammo damage, velocity, and knockback into a single, comprehensive display.

Visual and Quality-of-Life Improvements

True Tooltips also offers a suite of visual upgrades and convenience features:

• View an item’s full-sized sprite directly within the tooltip.
• Identify the source mod of any item with its name displayed alongside.
• Benefit from customizable tooltip backgrounds and a more readable overall layout.
• Enjoy correctly colored rarity indicators for dropped items and ensure the frontmost dropped item is highlighted, not the backmost.
• Disable the distracting text pulse effect if desired.

With recent updates, you can now achieve even more compact tooltips by setting text spacing below zero, and add customizable borders or backgrounds to your tooltips for a truly unique look.
