Add-on that shows sets' origin/location when hoovering over an item in inventory

Logendan

Hello,

When deciding what armour/weapon/jewellery to keep, I like to look up where they are from, usually using google.
It would be very handy if this origin/location information could be made available at the tooltip.

I'm aware of EsoSets and Item Set Browser add-ons, but as they don't work together with the inventory, essentially they are equal to external websites in regard to the case above. (Otherwise they are cool add-ons.)

Is anyone aware of any add-on that shows set origin in tooltip?
Or, if I were to try to create this add-on myself - keep in mind I'm super-beginner in add-on creation - can you recommend where to start (e.g. tooltip editing, extracting set info, etc.)?

Many thanks.

Beginner Tutorials:


Set info is given all in library LibSets:
https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info2241-LibSets.html

To get the setId by the help of an inventory item, by it's BagId and slotIndex, you'd need the API function here:

* GetItemLinkSetInfo(*string* _itemLink_, *bool* _equipped_)
** _Returns:_ *bool* _hasSet_, *string* _setName_, *integer* _numBonuses_, *integer* _numEquipped_, *integer* _maxEquipped_, *integer* _setId_

e.g.
local hasSet, setName, numBonuses, numEquipped, maxEquipped, setId = GetItemLinkSetInfo(GetItemLink(bagId, slotIndex)
if hasSet and setId ~= nil then
--Read the set's data and drop locations via LibSets -> Chekc it's API functions for that
-- Add the lines of the drop locations etc. to the tooltip
endif
[/code]


ESOUI source code -> Search for ItemTooltip.
Here is an example code in the vanlla UI how lines are added:

There already exist other addons which are able to add info to the tooltips, e.g.

I was just searching for this very thing. Does anyone know if it exists?

Yes, LibSets
Just enable it in the settings menu of the lib
