Difference between Frame and Tooltip combat display
Difference between Frame and Tooltip combat display
You may have noticed that the old system was poorly designed because I just created it to play with the Pet Battle API. Since so many people are using the addon now, I decided to create a "true" frame-based system without the usage of LibQTip. Yes, LibQTip uses "true" frames as well, but don't forget the nature of the lib: displaying tooltips and not displaying windows in combats (it did a great job, for sure).
Using frames brings the possibility of many new features on the table. Some of them were already integrated into PT, like rarity borders, dead pet borders, reorganizing, animations, and of course frame dragging and position saving. I can also add 3D pet models (currently playing around with them).
Despite the new system, I added the old LibQTip display to the mod. People who wanna continue using the old display, may use it. Please note that it is very likely that we don't add new features into it and just fix bugs. That depends of how many people will use the old system, decisions are not made yet.
