KuiNameplates Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 178

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.

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;

I'll look into it. I think so for totems, but I'm not sure about pets.

Re: Some modification questions

First, how would I remove the outline for the nameplate text?

In layout.lua, change this line:

Code:

self:SetFont(kui.m.f.yanone, size, 'OUTLINE')

Code:

self:SetFont(kui.m.f.yanone, size)

And remove instances of

Code:

, outline = 'OUTLINE'

(including the comma).

Second, what would I change to move the text on the nameplate up the Y axis a little, so the text rests on top of the health bar and does not overlap it?

Find the following lines:

Code:

frame.health.p:SetPoint('BOTTOMRIGHT', frame.health, 'TOPRIGHT', -2, -3)

Code:

frame.level:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', frame.health, 'TOPLEFT', 2, -3)

And change the second number (-3) to something higher - probably 1 or 2. I can't test at the moment.

Lastly, how would I remove the shadow behind the bar?

Removing the shadow is more difficult, it's embedded into the texture and I'd need to do some testing to make sure positions/sizes stayed correct if I made a shadow-free version, or to change the coordinates. I'll keep that in mind for when I'm able, though.

Thanks for the feedback.

I have a couple minor modification questions if you wouldn't mind giving me a hand. First, how would I remove the outline for the nameplate text?

I'll give that a shot!

Right, good point. Fix in next version etc.

As for scale, I'll be making options for frame/font sizes. How well it works depends on what the API feels like letting me do.

Awesome work on these beautiful nameplates! Can't wait for some resizing options

Ross A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 65 File comments: 135 Uploads: 1	Just a slight thing I noticed doing FL trash, There are these little elementals that start out called "Unbound Smoldering Elementals" and then they get ignited and named changed to "Unbound Blazing Elementals". The nameplates do not recognize the change unless I toggle them off/on. Usually wouldn't worry bout it but when they change to blazing you target them and kill them and having the name plates all still say smoldering is a little confusing at first
