Target Nameplate Indicator

Version: 1.08

by: Choonstertwo [More]

TargetNameplateIndicator attaches a texture to your target's nameplate to make them easier to spot.

Version 1.08 now includes twelve textures:

Red targeting reticule (the default texture, contributed by Dridzt of WoWI)
Red arrow (contributed by DohNotAgain of WoWI)
Neon versions of the reticule and arrow (contributed by mezmorizedck of Curse)
Two red inverted triple chevrons (contributed by OligoFriends of Curse/WoWI)
Red and green 3D Arrows (contributed by OligoFriends of Curse/WoWI)
Skull and crossbones (contributed by OligoFriends of Curse/WoWI)
Red concentric circles in the style of a target (contributed by OligoFriends of Curse/WoWI)
Red star with gold outline (contributed by OligoFriends of Curse/WoWI)
Neon green arrow with a red target (contributed by OligoFriends of Curse/WoWI)

The texture file, size and anchoring settings can be changed at the top of the core.lua file.

If you want to contribute a custom texture (that you own), simply leave a comment here or on Curse with the image embedded or a direct link to the image.

I recommend backing up your core.lua file if you make any changes to it so you can easily re-apply them after an update. Also back up any custom textures you add.

Thanks to Meneltel for posting this request, which inspired me to write TargetNameplateIndicator.

1.08

Trim trailing spaces
Add DEBUG flag to enable/disable debugging output
Replace all debugging print() calls with debugprint() calls

Rewrite around LibNameplateRegistry-1.0
Update for 5.4
Add three new textures

This version also includes three new textures provided by OligoFriends. I apologise for the delay, I've been fairly busy lately.

I've just pushed a new alpha version of the AddOn to CurseForge and GitHub, but it currently doesn't work due to a bug in LibNameplateRegistry-1.0 (the new nameplate library I'm using).

Once this is fixed, I'll release the new version to Curse and WoWI.

Configuring the icon has nothing to do with .exe files, just open the core.lua file in a text editor and read the instructions in it. This will be easier with a text editor that has syntax highlighting, like gedit, Kate or one of the others listed here (you can see which ones support OS X here).

The player's own character doesn't have a nameplate, so there's nothing to anchor the icon to.

I'm working on an update for this AddOn based on Archarodim's new LibNameplateRegistry library, but it's going to take a while to finish.

Choonstertwo A Wyrmkin Dreamwalker Forum posts: 59 File comments: 60 Uploads: 28	Version 1.05 I've just released version 1.05, which includes a 5.1-compatible version of LibNameplate. This version is still in alpha, so it there's a small chance it may produce some errors or strange behaviour (I didn't encounter any in my brief testing). Please report any errors or strange behaviour in the comments on Curse or WoW Interface. Last edited by Choonstertwo : 11-28-12 at 09:11 AM.

This may cause the AddOn to not work properly until LibNameplate is updated. Last edited by Choonstertwo : 11-27-12 at 08:13 PM.

Thanks, I've just uploaded version 1.03 which uses a newer version of LibNameplate. This should fix the error, but let me know if you encounter any other issues.

Feel free to use it if you want.

Choonstertwo, you can include it in the addon if you want as an extra image to pick from.

Thank you for your contribution. I've just released version 1.02 which includes your texture.

Or if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd much appreciate it. I'm trying to set up my interface for MoP and this is a very important piece of the puzzle. :P

The AddOn absolutely requires the nameplates to be enabled, but you could use a text-based Nameplate AddOn like the "None" theme of Tidy Plates instead of a traditional bar-based AddOn.

Failing that, I could look into making an AddOn to make the nameplates invisible while still being "shown" for anchoring purposes.

Why not donate your unwanted cash to Choonster so you can experience the joy of wasting your money to benefit a stranger!
