Hey guys i would love a manabar in tidyplates. Is there already a widget existing or can somebody help me modify a existing widget? I really need this feature for rated BGs.

So I messed around with the options and I've managed to get the npc's green. All players however are Blue if I choose by Class. Also Show Level Text does nothing.

Yeah having an icon for guild members and friends that shows outside instances would be sweet.

This is turning out to be the best addon for wow

Ohh another thing, the color the players name in text mode should maybe reflect their class too.

Ok, I've spent some more time with this and have some feedback. First of all, it's awesome work.

For NPC units, can these be colored the same as they are without the plates. I.e. green when they are normally green.

Looks like guild members still need the mouse over to highlight their guild name. Would be great if you could look up the name against the guild list.

Some more control on font and font sizes would be nice. Right now I've edited it to add Caith font and modify the font size by 1 lower for myself.

Also it could be nice to have the guild name in a gray color instead of white (only slightly dimmer) and maybe have it surrounded with <> or [] or nothing. As an option would be great.


With NPC roles, could this be displayed where the guild names are displayed when you mouse over an NPC?


Its getting there though :-)

So actually I just installed the latest build and you do show guild names now, very awesome.

For guild members is the display automatic or do you still have to mouse over?

It would be great to have an icon too for guild and friends while in text mode. As an option would be fine, but I would really appreciate this.

DocNameplates which appears to be dead in the water now had a couple nice features that Tidy Plates is missing.

Guild, Friend, Party, Raid Identifiers.

So Guild members were highlighted with a green star.
Friends were highlighted with a yellow star.
Party and Raid Members were identified with a Orange star.

These identifiers were hidden when you entered a dungeon or raid instance.

If you can an option like that soon I'll be donating some money your way for sure!

One other feature DocNameplates had which was really nice was that when you mouse over a player, it was able to see the guild the player belonged to. I believe it only worked on mouse over so it was able to read the player information. So nameplates appeared in blue if there was no guild information in it's database.

I'm guessing a feature like that will take some time to implement, but it was pretty damn useful and I would love to see it in Tidy Plates.

Actually the recent updates to Tidy Plates have been damn impressive. While best as tanking plates, they are really looking good for dps plates now too.

Ahh ok ty. That clears it up
But if uniqueness of the name is the only problem, then in pvp, you should be able to mark friendlies or hostiles just fine right? Since their names are unique?

Here's a theoretical question and I'm not requesting it as a feature but just asking for an opinion since you two know ins and out of nameplate coding, and I can't think of anyone better to ask:

Is it possible to attach marks like raid-marks to the nameplates? (but they wouldn't be raid marks). I know there's stuff like HHTD. But say you want to mark your friends, your guildies, or a few specific friendlies (or enemies) and so on. Is this doable or is there's something in blizz code preventing this?
