Known issues

PB breaks Skinner's nameplate skin. Explanation here

FAQ:
Q) Will PlateBuffs work on mobs?
A) Yes. but since mobs can share the same name you'll need to target or mouseover the nameplate so PlateBuffs can determine which nameplate belongs to what mob. Once that nameplate disappears from the screen and reappears you'll need to mouseover/target again.
Q) What's the question mark for?
A) It can mean 2 things. 1) We don't know what mob that nameplate belongs to, 2) We don't know what spells are on that mob/player. In both cases you need to target/mouseover the nameplate.
Q) Will PB work with non default nameplates?
A) PB should work with Tidy Plates, Aloft, dNameplates and caelNameplates. PB may or may not work with other nameplate addons.
Q) Can I have specific buff options?
A) Yes. Open PlateBuff's options (/pb) and go to the Specific Spells menu. In there you can add spells and choose always/mine/never show, icon size and cooldown text size. Some spells are added by default to have large icons.
Q) Why do spells blink?
A) Spells will blink if there's less then 20% of the time remaining.
Q) Can you add a clockwise cooldown overlay to the spell icons?
A) Unfortunately the clock cooldown doesn't work well on frames that are constantly moving around the screen. It tends to disappear while the frame's moving and only appear when the icon's perfectly still. So as soon as you move, they move or your camera moves (including breathing up and down motion) the overlay disappears. Sorry.
Q) What do all these spells in the Specific Spells list do?
A) If you're unfamiliar on what spells do what effects, enable the Add Spell Description option on the main screen. That will add a spell icon and spell description to each of the spells. When enabled, PlateBuffs' memory usage will go up around 2MB (memory usage only impacts login/load time, not FPS).
Q) How do I turn off all buffs except those on my Specific Spells list?
A) In PlateBuffs' options, set both "Show Buffs" and "Show Debuffs" to none.

VERY NICE IT WORKS!!

I have managed to change the font to that in which I want but I still have yet to find the code, and or change code properly to switch the border on the buff/debuff frames. Could you please point me to the right area of code to make this change as the current buff/debuff border just does not fit my UI at all ?

Thanks in advance for both the help, and the addon!

in frames.lua. xxx.border is the border texture. at the bottom of iconOnShow() you can comment out the border code so a border doesn't get shown.
It should look the same as the default target frame's debuff border. I'm sorry if it's not working for you.

Byakko A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 19 File comments: 45 Uploads: 0	I'm using this with Tidy Plates, Clean Plates and Threat Plates theme. Currently the PlateBuffs are not very accurate. Sometimes it would show the debuffs that are on my current target on another mob of same type but that I have not touched or even aggroed. On my DK, it also showed the extended duration of my diseases as if I had Epidemic talented (diseases duration extended to 21), but I did not and it should have been only 14 seconds. This was the duration on other mobs that I hit with Pestilience and not my main target. PlateBuffs also often doesn't show any of the debuffs on my primary target, instead showing only on other mobs. So far these are the issues. I like this mod and it's something I've been looking for, but because it's not stable or accurate most of the time, it's not as reliable as I hoped. Is it possible to at least improve the primary target accuracy? Since I'm targetting the mob, it should be most accurate with durations on it, not the least.
