KuiNameplates Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 228

by: Kesava [More]

Prettier, pixel-perfect nameplates with auras. Configurable through interface options (open with /knp or /kuinameplates).

Class colours on hostile players can be enabled in the default interface options, under "Names" - check "Class Colors in Nameplates" at the bottom right.

If you're having issues with nameplates being in incorrect locations or being unclickable, first try unchecking the "Fix aliasing" option in configuration.

More up to date versions can often be found on Curse. Please try using that version before reporting a bug.

Current features:

All of the default nameplate features
Pixel perfect!
Auras!
Combo points
Tank mode - recolour health bars when you have threat (enable by checking "Enable tank mode" in options)
Customisable display of health for friendly or enemy units
Pretty fading in/out of frames (disable by unchecking "Smoothly fade" in options)
Automatic toggling of nameplates when you enter or exit combat (enable by checking "Auto toggle in combat" in options)
Cast & incoming healing warnings, useful for PVP (disabled by default, check "Show cast warnings" in options)
Configuration profiles

Health display patterns:
The text to display for health on different frames is determined by two simple patterns: one for friendly frames and one for neutral and hostile frames. These patterns can be changed in the options dialog (/knp). They must make use of specific conditions and results, in the following format:

condition1:result1;condition2:result2;condition3:result3;

There must be at least one condition (and one result). Any other conditions are optional.

Possible conditions are:

"=" When the unit is at maximum health...
"<" When the unit's health is less than maximum...
"=<" When the unit's health is either less than maximum or at maximum...

Possible results are:

"m" ... Display their maximum health (i.e. 123.4k).
"d" ... Display their health deficit (i.e. -46.5k).
"p" ... Display their health percentage.
"c" ... Display their current health (i.e. 76.9k).
"b" ... Display nothing.

The patterns used by default are:

Friendly units: =:m;<:d;
Which means:
When the unit is at maximum health:Display their maximum health;
When they're below maximum health:Display their health deficit;

Hostile units: <:p;
Which means:
When the unit is below maximum health:Display their health percentage;

Planned features:

Frame blacklisting
Stuff I can't remember

228
* make auras significantly more reliable
* change tankmode uiname to "Threat", in anticipation of additions to its config page

* add options to change reaction colors
* split "don't fade units at low health" into two seperate options for hostile units and friendly units
* fix "fade all" doesn't work consistently when faded alpha is set to 0%
* fix castbar sometimes fading out on newly shown frames where it was inappropriate
* fix logic error in kui frame fading code which may have caused some problems with repeated frame fading
* add upper limit to name width (using default layout) to prevent ridiculous overflows
* remove kui_nameplates_absorbs because that was nowhere near ready and shouldn't have been pushed anyway, whoops
* bump kui minior

* fix lua error when cast time display is enabled but name is disabled
* reduce name text jiterry-ness using centred layout
* add option to only use frame glow as threat glow (hide it when there's no threat)
* add option to show auras on trivial units

* reposition castwarnings to fit with new layout
* add option to use left-aligned layout, similar to the pre-223 layout (in /knp > general)

* add spark to castbars.
* make castbars fade out rather than instantly disappearing.
* cast time display is now disabled by default.
* change layout of healthbar text; names are no longer truncated.
* change layout of castbar text; spell name is no longer truncated.
* change default font to Expressway Rg Bold. Works better at smaller sizes in WoW.
* change level text for bosses to "Boss".
* remove option to colour unit names. This can be achieved with a small custom.lua modification.
* remove maximum cast time from castbar text (only current time is shown now)
* remove Accidental Presidency from Kui_Media.

Change log for previous versions available on CurseForge.

Locals:

Shouldn't cause any problems. All that code's going away in the 5.3 update anyway so I'll wait until then to "fix" it.

Could u please look at it?

Do you have TidyPlates installed? I believe the default theme is a nicer Blizzard lookalike, so it could be that. If not, try disabling all other addons, see if it works. Then you can re-enable them to try to track down which could be causing it.

Is it possible to add an option to show the targeted nameplate bigger than the others?

Possibly. That might be a hidden default cvar actually (I'd still need to add support for it if it was), I know there are/were a few for threat that did that.

Please make an option to make the alpha of all text 100%

Easy.

Also the red chastbar of not brakeable casts is very hard to differ from the red nameplate

It'd be simple to make an option for that so I probably will. Also want an option for castbar height at some point.

btw do you plan to let ppl translate the options? I woud make the german one

Not particularly, because I can't reliably test anything except engb. If I did it well (i.e. used the ace localisation libraries properly) it shouldn't really cause any problems, but there's a chance it could just break entirely for one particular localisation and I'd never know.

Thanks!

SRCarebear A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 26 File comments: 31 Uploads: 2	This is the sort of nameplate I've been looking for! The only issue I have at the moment is the threat. Is there any way you could add in colors for High Threat and Low Threat as well as Has Threat? I've tried messing with the code in the layout.lua but after I engage in combat the nameplate just returns to reaction colors. tl;dr When out of combat, reaction colors When in combat, HasThreat = Red, HighThreat = Yellow, Low/NoThreat = Green I'm okay with just code help, I'm not too fussed about in-game configuration. Many thanks

Tonyleila A Frostmaul Preserver Forum posts: 279 File comments: 1228 Uploads: 31	Love how you solved the target problem only noticed that the small nameplates have the same sitze texture so that its longer than the nameplate Please make an option to make the alpha of all text 100% (castbar text and the bottom heath text). Also the red chastbar of not brakeable casts is very hard to differ from the red nameplate (I think the shild is enoth) - so I always lua edit the castbar to gray like the normal castbar. Last thing is the raidicon I always change size from 20 to 16 because I think right now its oversized btw do you plan to let ppl translate the options? I woud make the german one __________________ Author of: LeilaUI and Aurora: Missing Textures __________________ Last edited by Tonyleila : 04-27-13 at 11:39 AM.

Kesava A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 164 Uploads: 3	The VialCooldowns problem is as a result of a bug/discrepancy in its code. The developer posted a temporary lua file to fix the issue in the comments on Curse, here. I gather they'll put a proper update on Curse soon enough. Thanks!

Could you post the contents/previous contents of your custom.lua? There's nothing in there by default to cause anything like that and I haven't heard that from anyone else.

I can't test code at the moment but adding this in the mod:PostShow function in custom.lua should possibly do what you want:

Lua Code:

frame.health.mo:SetAllPoints(frame.health)
frame.health.mo:SetJustifyH('CENTER')
frame.health.mo:SetAlpha(1)

Or if you want to edit create.lua just drop it at the bottom of the function you quoted and replace "frame" with "f".

Please add filter for nameplates so it blacklists certain mobs, this would be very usefull for Tortos

Planned. Can't promise when though.
