I hope mob text color is going to still get emplimented. For now i'll have to use aloft. Red text is just way too hard to read.

Working with other tanks
I saw someone else suggest this earlier in the thread without a response I notice, so its a request I'd like to reiterate:
Could you implement an option that would shrink the plates and give a different glow (say blue) if the mob is being tanked by either someone designated as a main tank, or matching a specified name? ThreatPlates are great for showing when I have threat, and when I don't have threat. What they don't show is when a mob is being safely handled by one of my fellow tanks (so I can ignore them) or when its running loose beating up healers and other squishies (when I should probably taunt it). |

Re: Working with other tanks
It would then display a confirmation graphic of some kind. The nameplate will still show as "low threat" but it will have something to show it's "safeness".

Is it possible to make friendly name plates only show for target only. This would be useful on bloodqueen when you need to bite someone. Then you target them and you see a nameplate on that unit only. Making it easy to spot.
May be useful for mobs as well. Long as its an option for both. Also for mob plates to change their text or healthbar or frame color based on the name you set in the options. So you have an options window for a list of names, type, color. Important mob1, frame, yellow. This would color the nameplate frame yellow when if the name equals this or changes to this during combat. Important mob2, health bar, orange. Same as above except healthbar on the name plate changes orange.

I have one big issue with the new 2.2 of Threat Plates, since this update my Threat Plates Addon is using EXTREMELY more RAM (in raid about 20MB) and is doing much lagg during combat.
When i switch back to 2.1e those preformance Problems are gone. I don't really know which information could be useful to you in solving this problem, so would be nice if you just ask me what you need to know |

I figured out how to make name text appear in health bar. But this modification breaks show other health text. But this works perfect. Go to line 542 in tidyplatesthreat.lua then rem out the lines shown in the code starting with "--[[" and ending with "--]]". Btw this is what i was asking for earlier.
Only thing I didn't test was to see if the name can go out of bounds, but hopefully that doesn't happen. Works perfect for now I'm adding some custom color for certain names this will come useful for some boss fights where you need to spot a mob out of a cluster of targets. Hopefully that can be added as a feature. Is there anyway to disable the white rectangle around targets when you mouse over them? Code:
local function SetSpecialText(unit) return unit.name end --[[ local HpPct local HpAmt local HpMax if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.percent then if (TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.amount or TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.max) then if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.deficit and not TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.max and unit.health == unit.healthmax then HpPct = floor(100*(unit.health / unit.healthmax)).."%" else HpPct = " - "..floor(100*(unit.health / unit.healthmax)).."%" end else HpPct = floor(100*(unit.health / unit.healthmax)).."%" end else HpPct = "" end if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.amount then if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.deficit then if (unit.health == unit.healthmax) then HpAmt = "" else HpAmt = "-"..Truncate(unit.healthmax - unit.health) end else HpAmt = Truncate(unit.health) end else HpAmt = "" end if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.max then if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.amount then if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.deficit and unit.health == unit.healthmax then HpMax = Truncate (unit.healthmax) else HpMax = " / "..Truncate(unit.healthmax) end else HpMax = Truncate(unit.healthmax) end else HpMax = "" end if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.settings.options.showSpecialText then if (unit.health / unit.healthmax) < 1 then return HpAmt..HpMax..HpPct else if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.full then return HpAmt..HpMax..HpPct else return "" end end else return "" end end --]]

This won't be needed in the next version.

You open to the idea of adding custom color for different mob names? The only thing I'm concerned about is if doing a lookup in a table in the specialtext function will cause a lot of overhead.
I been playing with the change in 5mans, I can spot mob names so much easier now. For my own use I made the adherent mobs appear in green text. Here is the code snippit I used to do this: Code:
local function SetSpecialText(unit) local st = unit.name:lower() local st2 = "" local color = "|cFF00FF00" -- green if st == "cult adherent" or st == "empowered adherent" or st == "reanimated adherent" then st = color .. unit.name else st = unit.name end return st end

So any of these features making it in for next release?
1. Show nameplate for target only. Be nice if this can be set for friendly or harmful only. 2. Healthbar background, right now as the health gets low theres no darker background behind it. Maybe this could get an alpha setting for background so you can set it just how you want it. It's always easier to read healthbars when they have backgrounds. Actually this is probably not needed if there is a way to make the healthbar brighter. 3. Assigns different colors to a list of names and have those names appear in different color in the name text. 4. Theres no way to change width/height of the name plates. 5. Nameplate health bars are too dark. Be nice if there is a slider to set how dark/light you want the bar to be. Also if possible is there an LUA edit I can do to change how dark the healthbars are?

Problem with Threatplates
hey,
I got a little problem with threat plates and I just cant figure out what im doing wrong. I have tidyplates installed, neon plates aswell for another look. This is the problem. I log on, the wow asks me politly to switch over to Threat plates and reloads my UI. Then i set it to "tank mode" ...I start tanking. The bars stay red all the time with the "explosion graphics next to it" and it stays red. Even tho i got aggro all the time. I then started to tank stupid and lose aggro on purpose to see if anything would change. Nothing...the plates stay red all the time... Did I miss something in settings ? I have reseted the addon (in profile tab) more then once...I used the "color health by threat" ...still same. I hope you can help me out, cause i really like this addon ! Grtz Dope |

Re: Problem with Threatplates
The way these nameplates work is by the default nameplate threat glows, so these won't function without working glows. To ensure they're currently on and working follow these steps: 1. Press ESC on your keyboard and click on interface. 2. Click on the "Game" tab at the top left of the options window. 3. Click on "Display". 4. Locate the "Display Aggro Warning" dropdown and select "Always" This should ensure that your aggro warnings are always on and working. This problem will be fixed with the next version of Threat Plates.
