[Feature request] Option to show large item icon by mouse hovering #214

Closed GrimPixel closed 1 year ago

GrimPixel commented 2 years ago

Hi. I am creating a mod about tabletop games. Players need to see their magnified images. So I would like to see this feature for playing the games.

How would this be implemented? There is no "on hover" callback for formspecs, and the actions would be delayed at least by 2x the client <--> server latency.

I see the item name appears when I hover over it. So I guess there is an answer. About that client server delay, I think the images are already in the inventory, so they just need to be enlarged. Anyway. I am working on another solution for playing tabletop games.

Tooltips are a client-side feature and are not implemented by unified_inventory. unified_inventory can only send updated formspecs to the client when there's an event. Anything that's supposed to happen client-side is a task for the Minetest Engine itself.

Cannot implement: lack of Minetest Engine features.
