I like the idea, but some sort of arrow or targeting rectangle would probably make the difference with the cross marker more obvious.

I absolutely agree, an arrow of some kind would be a better choice!

Also like the idea and would suggest a reticle texture as the indicator
Something like is what I mean.

brilliant addon

How can you edit it so the reticule is at the bottom or on the sides of the health bar and not at the "top" ? It's because when you have multiple dots on your target with TidyBar the reticule gets in the way.

If you open the TargetNameplateIndicator\core.lua file in a text editor you'll find some configuration variables near the top.
TEXTURE_POINT and ANCHOR_POINT are the ones you would want to change and save the file.

This addon is great.
It has made visually finding the mob I have targetted much easier.

But I prefer an arrow pointing at the target so I made this one.
After testing it against other graphic icons it works best for me.



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.

I'm pushing my luck, but is there any way the author can make this add-on work without active nameplates? I hate nameplates, but I lose track of my target when I use MSBT and don't have the default over-the-head combat text to guide me!

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

Firstly, his is a great addon. Kudos.

Received this lua error today. No clue what it means, just thought I'd drop it here just incase.
